Wiper blades

Where do you guys get good quality, but low price replacement windshield wiper blades? I don't want to pay $20 each blade...its ridiculous.

I'm looking for PIAA, or Tripledge, or Bosch ones....any ideas?

i think napa sells bosch. I use Lexor and Anco and theywork quite well for me. Stay away from Pylon they stink. Are the OEM refills really $20?!?! I can't imagine spending more than $15 for a pair.

I have the PIAA's and ill tell you something, I will never buy the Bosch excel's again. The PIAA wipers are amazing and going stong for months now. I havent even bothered cleaning the blade. They may run $3 more then the Excel's but last so much longer. Worth the money spent.

I think the Nissan refills are like 8 bucks and I find they work excellent and last just as long if not longer then some other brands.

I baught the PIAA blades for our 330 and didn't find the quality any better then OEM plus they cost me more $$$.

NAPA has their own brand that work great. Lasts and no chatter. I think about $25 a pair. You get a 5% AAA discount if you're a member.

I have looked around like you did. Autozone has Anco brand and it costs $5. It contains a blade and a blade holder. For the refill, it costs $5 for a few blades. Do not buy Car and Driver wiper. It does not have even pressure on the windshield to remove rain. Almost all the brands will do pretty much the same job. Anco is cheap and will work fine. If the blade gets damage from the winter ice/snow, you have a few blades for $5 to replace it.

i bought one PIAA blade for my mom's acura and the thing works amazing! i also wiped the windshield with included alcohol-soaked towel. now there is even no need to turn on the wipers, even during a hard rain. the drops just jump off the window, for real! and, of course, the blade itself works great when on. the price is too high, but once you buy them you shouldnt regret it. also, dont buy the recommended size, just take a measuring thing and measure the max length that will be able to sit there when wipers are up or down the windshield.
