Default Need wiper blades

one of my wipers got trashed over this weekend. I like the OE blades that came on the ack but am thinking they may be a lot to replace... anything better?

thanks,

Andy

Valeo Ultimate ftw.

Get one 26" and one 19" for your TL-S. Should be $20+shipping for the pair. While you're at it, order a pair for the S2000 (20" and 16") too since you're paying shipping anyway. It's buy one get one free. It will come next day or the 2nd day latest! Having a warehouse in Delaware ftw. Whenever I order tires, it comes next day.

You will never go back to the standard wipers again. Everyone I recommend these to only praises them and thanks me!

btw the set that is on my Maxima is STILL on the car. Has to be 2.5-3 years old now. No problems! The car even sits outside in the Sun. Use it in snow, ice, rain, to clean windshield. It has put up with a lot of abuse and is still going strong. However, the windshield washer fluid in my reservoir is always Rain-X brand so the wipers don't do all the work. Showing a little streaking but it's minor. I bet if I just clean it with soap and water, it will be perfect again.

I went through a pair of Bosch in less than a year.
Then I tried RainX.

I'm going back to OEM.

I just swap out the rubber pieces every like 3 or 4 months. They're cheap and easier than changing out the whole arm. I get whatever strauss or pep boys has, it's all the same shiatt.
