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!

 

OEM

I've yet to find anything that fits perfect and lasts almost a year.

 

Yeah i think your right...the blade inserts are pretty damn good and they do last.

 

i opt for the 15 dollar a pair refills and change them once a year.

 

is the OEM 15$ for a pair... I need some bad!

 

refills are under a $10 each.
the blades are about $15 a piece.

 

bosch works pretty good for me. been almost a year now since i replaced them.

 

Dude I know you said not to mention PIAA but I got mine from NOPI.com and i didn't pay that much.

 

What size though...they dont make the 26" so do you use a 24"?

 

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!

 

guys I am telling you nopi.com is the place to get them and they have the 26" blades heres the link http://www.nopionline.com/index.cfm?...Blade&vaffid=0

 

bosch are just fine- they're less than 9 bucks a pair too

 

I got Anco's. They been on for 3 years and they still work fine



But I live in So Cal and it doesn't rain much

 

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.

 

i just told autozone, and i just took watever they gave me, they punched the model and year into the comp, and they gave me the bosch's

 

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.
