Default Wiper Blades

I've had my blades for 2 years and they have been great. Went to the dealer and they are $25 each for the whole blade I didn't ask how much just the refill blade was. Plus they didn't have them in stock.

I like the look of the stock ones. I was just wondering what you guys are using and how much they are.

Can't remember if you're (still) driving the Imp or a GP, but I replaced mine with OEM inserts. Bought them from ZSPOT at NAIOA for something like $17 for the pair, i think. Not sure of the exact price, as i bought the MAF sensor at that time too. More times than not he can beat the price of anyone else, so check him out.

If not OEM, i'd have gotten the Bosch Icons. From what i hear, they're the best out there...but the same price as the OEM blade replacements, though, at about $50 for the pair.

Thanks Buff, I'm driving a Monte. Should be the same inserts though.

Amazon has the Bosch ones for $36 a pair. Think I'll give those a try.

I've got 29,000 miles on my car and the stock ones are just starting to streak.

2 years is about right. I have about 1.2 years and 15,000 miles and they are still working like a champ. .
