Gonna definitely try out the Bosch after all the positive comments for them. My wipers are slowly streaking more and more each time I use them .

I just got some Rain-X ones, and they're only $9 bucks a pop, and they work great.

UPDATE to my previous posts.

I bough the ICONS couple of months ago ($40.00 per set) and they are just a bit better then Rain-X or ANCO. They look great (the best) but one already started streaking (passenger side). My opinion, if you are looking for value/performance get ANCO and a pack or refills. If you have money to burn get these babies.

Well, put it this way, my stock Nissan driver-side wiperblade snaped off of the arm when it was pouring rain, and I'm on the highway the other day. Imagine that. The rain-x ones were the best ones I could buy, they (the closest autozone) were out of 26" inch (Or was it 24's?) Bosch, and they had rain-x, and addeco (I think) @ $2.50 a pop, and winter blades. Infact, they were out of my drivers side-size in everything but rain-x, so I was kind of forced into buying them. So far, so good, they work great.

****ing OEM replacement wipers nearly killed me that day........

Has anyone ever had a wiper blade just "snap" off when raining? It kind of fluttered on the arm for a sec then the wind took it away. all that was left was the J-hook part that the arm snaps on to......

EDIT: and BTW, the blades seemed pretty new, worked perfectly with no streaks, so it wasn't like I needed a new pair for the last 10k miles...
