Neither

I had PIAA and the finish turned to $hit very quickly and they looked awful...waste of money.

Get Valeo Ultimate Wipers if you want the latest in wiper blade technology, they are like the OEM on BMW and Mercedes, with the single strip of rubber, with no metal structure on top. Looks super cool and works great.

If you want to go cheaper get BOSCH, they are great wipers as well.

Ain't that the truth? I've been to every Target in the greater Houston area and they don't have that size at all.

I think this car uses 26" driver side, I dont know if 5th gens have the same size. All I know is Bosch does not make a driver side wiper for this car, I forgot. PIAA makes them and so does Valeo. But finding the size in stores, I could'nt do it.

I use the Silicone wiper blades from WalMart. They have a lifetime warrenty so when you dont like them, go back with your receipt and get another set. I have had my pair for about 1 year now and they are awesome.

I go with PIAA, seriously keeps the windsheild crystal clear. They left no streaks what soever for the first few months. They lost a little power after that. Although, I'm pretty sure wiping the large amounts of crap from the THREE Hurricanes that hit us in FL had something to do with it.
If you want to buy the blades go to tirerack.com and they even tell you the size. You should buy refills here http://www.autobarn.net/piwiblre.html . PIAA Refills Uber cheap.
