Oh wow, it's cheaper? I'll have too look into getting those on Amazon or something then. Because I paid like $40/$45 for the Rain-X wipers. And that's a little much IMO

Rock Auto had a deal going on some time ago on Trico wipers. I ended up picking up wipers for 3 vehicles, all the blade style of course for like 75 bucks.

Wipers123 is another place to try. They usually have good pricing and decent shipping costs.

Sweet. I wish I had known about that before I picked up the Rain-X ones. Oh well, not like they will last forever so at least I have a cheaper and better option for next time.

Oh okay cool, I usually do my parts shopping at Advanced Auto so I'll look next time I'm there. Funny to see the difference in driving habits, mine is a 2013 and I passed 6,000 miles last week lol. That's probably why I'm already seeing the wipers start to deteriorate in quality.

I got the Bosch. I hate them. They leave a line in the middle of my line of sight. I'm gonna be getting the rain x latitude ones. I had them on my old truck and loved them.

I found the rain-x ones on eBay for $20 shipped to my door for both blades pretty solid deal and they work great.

Clay your windshield Chuck! Then grab some isopropyl alcohol and put some on a rag and draw it over the blades. You should see a DRASTIC improvement!! 6000 miles is NOTHING! It's not like you're using them daily.

I was going through a gallon of regular wiper fluid a month through the winter until I started using the orange rain x stuff
I havent even used 2 gallons in two years, it's nice cause you don't have to do anything for application other then use your squirters a few times

I don't use my wipers if I'm going over 45, no hazing, skipping or any other complaints here

Now thats a ton of wiper fluid. And I thought that I use alot. I wind up using a lot of fluid because I park outside so I normally have to wash off the windshield before I drive.

Mine is never driven in the rain. lol

And that's exactly why you get magazine deals lol
