Wiper Blade Suggestions?

Need new wipers...anyone have some suggestions. I would do a search but obviously thats out of the question. Dont say PIAA cause i dont want to spend $50 on wipers but i also dont want POS Anco/Wal-Mart blades.

Take a look at silblades. They are silcone blades just like the piaas but a little cheaper. Plus you can get different color frames and blades!

I'm thinking of getting some new blades too, where is a good place for the silicone ones? I bought Anco blades about 3 months ago and they got to go!

i don't know if the windshield is wider or not on other generation of maxes, but on my 3rd gen, i use 22" for the driver side and 20" for the passenger side.

The Lexor Blades at Walmart are excellent and cost about $6, I replace them every 6 months and am completely satisfied.

The OEM blades suck bad. I was replacing my blades every 4-6 months so I went with the PIAA and and happy with the performance. Only problem with my PIAA's is that the edge is warped and doesn't wipe all the way to the ends, but all in all, very good and they don't freeze or stick to your window. I used to buy the TripleEdge and they were awsome, only problem is that they don't have a 26" blade otherwise i'd have them on. Nice thing about the PIAA is that they are low profile so the arm of the wiper doesn't stick high out of the top it sort of lays inside of the blade like OEM.
