I have oem 5th gen wipers...I only had them for 8 months and they are already streaking...I think the scorching hot so cal summer ate up the rubber real quick...shoulda took them off for the summer

I think i'm going to try the piaa wiper refills...heard they last a very long time...but the downside is, you have to order them...

does anybody know a good, long lasting, inexpensive wiper blade that is available at autoparts stores?

walmart's "triple blade" has worked really well for me, a very clean wipe during hard rainfalls.

i had rainx but it dind't last the NE winters. but in so cal rainx would be perfect! under 20 beans a purr3

I've got the PIAA's. Yeah, you have to them on-line, but they work great. The refills are not that expensive either. IIRC both refills were about $18 shipped.
