Need Windshield Wipers... New, Failed Inspection

I don't remember what kind I bought two months ago but they failed state inspections for me yesterday and I didn't want to buy them from the stealership for $42

What do you guys use and what seems to work best on a 2000 maxima? I would like to get some today if possible so please include why you think a certain brand is better than another. thanks in advance for your reply.

I prefer Anco, only beacuse they're reasonably priced, you can just replace the blades, and in 14 years of driving on multiple cars I've never had an issue.

as long as they are the same size, go for the more expensive ones.

2 Month old blades and they failed you, did they give a specific reason as to what was wrong with the type you had installed?

you dont need to start a thread in 5th gen to find out what is a good wiper. they are in no way specific to a 5th maxima
