Default Wiper blades - good replacement?

I don't know where to post this, so I'll try here: The Bosch blades are costly. Any place to buy them cheap, or is there a good replacement available (silicon, anything). I'm open to any ideas. Thanks!

Get the OEM Bosch GM PN 22143969. Yeah their high, but worth it. I bought some "refills" that were supposed to work but didn't, and when I tried to remove my original arms the plastic tabs just fell apart in my hands anyway. Paid $18 at the dealer in January, GM list was $24 - cheaper if you shop around, try gmpartsdirect.com

I went with these for my mom's Monte SS (the yellow blade nearly matches the yellow paint), and my SS. They function really well.

This thread has nothing to do with the Appearance & Detailing section so I moved it here.


Peace,
Craig.

P.S. - I have used most brands that Autozone and Wal-Mart has to offer. They all seem to be the same, but I like the Rain-X brand the most.

Just use Rain-X and buy cheapies. Rain-X totally owns.
