I think its time for new blades. what are good windshield wiper blades to buy?

 

Blades or refills? Blades go with PIAA. Heard some good stuff about them. Apparently it has the same effect as Rain-X when its being used.

 

sillblades definitely

 

 

Bosch Excels. Didn't feel like paying over $40 for wiper blades, and the Bosches are quite excellent.

 

Yep...and it'll last you 5 years.

 

can i find the sillicon blades at the local auto store?

 

I haven't been able to find sillblades in local stores...but I'm sure if you go with silicone blades, regardless of brand, it would be much better than the best rubber blade.

 

Do SIlblades only come in silver? That looks kind of ricey.

 

hit up silblade.com and you'll see the variety of colours it comes in.

 

Ricey when the car comes with matching chrome trimmings stock?

Me thinks people here use that word too loosely.

 

Sorry. I just think anything besides black would look silly. Like those beat out trucks you see with the faux chrome double blades. *shudder*

 

I installed Rain-X on mine and so far I'm very happy, very clean sweep. As far as how long will they last, only time will tell but in cold weather (here in FL 32 to 40 degrees) they work great.

 

They come in black as well. Have a set on my own ride

 

you cll that cold! come up here where we get those #'s with a NEG- put in front of those #'s

im thinking of getting them too. i wonder how long they last? i can only get a set of blades to last like 6 months at most up here. and i buy bosch, which last longer than any other i have tried

 

For Florida!!!!!........yes. Like I said I wil let the forum know how long mine will last but so far so good.
PS. I tried the Bosh also but like you said, only last like 6mo at best but during those 6mo they are good.
