New Windshield wiper blades? Well, I am in need of some new wiper blades on my firehawk. I stopped by auto zone and saw replacement blades ranging from 8 to 30 bucks.. Is there really a difference in all of these? What is everyone else using?

I like the Bosch blades for my daily drivers though.

I bought the new "spring" type (one piece, contemporary styling.. basically no series of small pivoting metal arms.. it has like an exo-skeleton inside that's encased in rubber...)
Anyway, mine were from Rain-X and honestly regular blades are better... and these were $20/each

i've used Rain-X on all my cars and i've never had a problem with them. i never clean the blades themselves, and they've never streaked. the rubber lasts very long, with no problems. you can get teflon blades if your ride is parked outside and gets covered with snow/ice.
