Question Wiper Blades.

Just curious to see what kind of blades everyone is running. My stock ones are now chrome instead of black and the blades have sap on them (yet I don't park under trees ). So it is obvious I need to replace mine, odds are I'm going with Anco Hydroclears or Rain X blades.

I just recently replaced my factory ones with a new set of factory ones.. I figured if the old ones lasted me this long then so should a new set.

so do i, and they actually work pretty well. Windshield Wipers don't seem to like my car very much.

I bought some Triple Edge wipers on sale at Wal Mart a couple months ago for my Tahoe. They work great, and are very quiet.
There's nothing worse than a loud wiper.

Silblade. They have a 5 year warranty and they leave a rainx type coating on the windsheild so the rain beads off. They aren't much more than the junk rubber ones either.

I use the Anco N24 rubber refills. Their easy, cheap, and last as long the rubber on the aftermarket blades. The only thing wrong with my stock blades is the paint is starting to chip off in certain areas. Of course that can be fixed with a spray gun, some gloss black paint and some clear.

What new blades are you new talking about? The only blades I have found that fit well are the Anco specialty blades which are like 12+ bucks a pop.

im sorry but i just dont understand why anybody would repaint wiper blades rather than buying new ones when they are so cheap, and to answer your question there are about a hundred brands that would fit our cars, i know the shop I work at charges 16.80 for a set of wipers installed, so obv you havent looked hard.

I bought Michenlin Wipers from target and HANDS DOWN they are the best set of wipers i have ever owned. I'm going to be switching them to all my cars.
