Where do you get wiper blades?

I went to Pep Boys to get wiper blades for my 2000 I30t and discovered the driver side is 26" and the passenger side is 17". I wanted the Bosch brand and, to my dismay, they carry 17", but not the 26" blades. Then, I went to AutoZone and it was the same story. They both carry the Anco brand, but that's not what I want, nor do I want the shafting from the dealer, who wants $31 just for the refills!

Where besides the dealer can I find the right wiper blades, or even refills?

Thanks.

Okay, good answers guys.

I went to return the refills at the dealer and learned that wiper blades for both sides would run almost $50. That seems pretty excessive. So I did some internet searching and found the Bosch blades. The total bill was $22 for both sides. The site is www.autobarn.com.

Bosch Wipers at autobarn.com

It rained yesterday and they work great, plus it cost less than half of what the dealer charges. That's known as a win-win situation.

OEM + Rain-X is so awesome....

are blades that big a deal that you have to pay 50 a pair for the year? I have ancos that cost like 3 bucks each and they work just fine.

I agree...$50 is a shankjob. Ancos just haven't worked very well for me. They deteriorated quickly. I like the idea of having something at least a bit better that the bottom of the line, but I'm not going to pay $50 for them either. That's why I started this thread.

I just bought a pair of Bosch wipers at Pep-Boys for my 99' I30t,,they were about $23.00 for the pair. My old ones which I think were original since nissian was written on the metal part. My old ones were beat and peeling. Anyone have an idea how long wipers last? I guess it depends on where you live and brand.
