Wiper Blades For Maxima?
I've been using trico neoforms for years now and love them. The place I bought them from sent me an email about rebates right now and its about time for a new set. Is there any other brand of wiper I should look at before buying neoforms again?

I'm currently using Bosch Icons and I don't like them too much - they're noisy during the winter and I'm getting a lot of streaks.
May consider switching to Valeo, TireRack has a buy one get one free offer: http://www.tirerack.com/specialoffer...p?promoID=VALE

Costco, no. I dont remember the price but I still wouldn't reccommend them to anyone.

Yeah costco often gets goodyear blades in stock. I have yet to try them, been skeptical (although for 8 bucks, can you go wrong?)
I have been a fan of Bosche Icons personally. Do not buy the RainX.

I got tired of the pattern with wipers in Phoenix, AZ. It doesn't rain a lot and we all know how it gets here, so in-between rains, my wipers dry out and by the time another rain comes along, the ones I have are useless. I got tired of practically buying a new pair for every rainfall, which was a waste of money.
I invested in the Rain-X wipers prior to last summer, and the pair is still working fine as of today, past a few rain/hot cycles. This has more than compensated for its higher price.

We agree again. Best wiper blades ever. I bought my set in 2007 when I bought my General Exclaims and they are still working in great shape. Combined with Quik Waxing my windshield, everything still works great after four years.

Must say pretty impressed so far. I had the rain-x on my car and bosch on my wifes. Bought them in the summer just wished they lasted longer, so I could spend money elsewhere

I like the Bosch Microedges, but they don't last very long either, so they stopped being super-useful when they stopped selling the refills for $3 a pair for them.
My max has a set of Rain-X wipers from Advance Auto on them. Not bad. A little more durable, although they don't wipe quite as well.

Bosch Steel Tech
Up until a year ago I was using the OEM wipers and would get the OEM refills installed at the dealership during service. They always did the job and that's the name of the game for me. When buying new wiper blades for the wife's car I picked up a set of the Bosch blades for the Maxima, about $8 each at Wal-Mart. They seem to be well made and almost identical in design to OEM.
I'm also a huge fan of Rain-X and treat the windshield once a year, started treating the rear window too. I use a clay bar to clean the glass prior to applying the Rain-X.

I've used Bosch Icons for years and in most cases, the car was either wrecked or sold before I've had to replace them, so I haven't had the need to try anything else.

I miss paying $20 for a set of new wipers... I went to Autozone with my new car, and no blades fit the design of the BMW arm... I had to get the OEM from ebay for $60 ($80 at the dealership).

Rain-X Lats. are awesome. I had them on my old Benz ML320 for 8 years and they still contoured perfectly to the windshield and were dead quiet up until I sold the truck a few months back. I cheaped out on my I35 recently and went with $6 Anco blades from Wally World since they didn't have the 26 in, Rain-X Lats
