What is the best wiper blade? I'm looking to replace mine, after 6 years of use they are pretty much useless. What blades are you guy's usiing?

Thanks!

 

I use the sillicone ones, not sure of the name but they work great. Also I buff and wax my windows so that may help too...

 

how long do wiper blades last?

 

good question, the last 2 pair I bought have been crap and become useless in 6 months

 

6 years?! holy crap man !
I change mine annual, but I buy the budget Anco for a couple dollars a blade.
Chances are, if you don't change them regularly, you will get caught at inspection

 

should def change 'em after the winter

the cold can ruin a wiper

 

Inspection?

 

I recently bought the silicon Triple Edge Blade inserts. They seem to work pretty well and comes with a lifetime guarantee. I guess I'll just send it back to them when they go bad. Also 6 years is a long time. They're not too expensive so I change them every 6 months to a year.

 

Bosch Micro Edge Excel

 

michelien and the peak one they are oem nissan blade

 

I used to live in NY, they had safety inspections annual, and they would check the wiper blades, easy wasy to make a couple bucks for the service center.

 

I tried the triple edge replacement blades only, and they didn't clear very well. I replaced them with Bosch micro edge (with the arm) and they work great. Maybe my old arms were bent, but they looked ok.

 

www.custommaxima.com sells some wiper blades that are supposed to be THE BEST.. here's a link: http://www.custommaxima.com/Wipers.php

$39 a pair

 

Using Bosch for the past 2 years. The best quality and value on my opinion.

 

The consensus from USENET a few years ago was that Bosch made the best wiper blades. That's what I use.

 

Ive been using Rainx Silicone ones and they work really well. Im pretty happy with them. Ive used Bosch in the past and they didnt hold up too well.

 

Where did you hear this from? I hope your not just trusting their website's claim to be the best.. and going on first hand information instead..

 

I use TripleEdge wiper blades. They have a lifetime warranty, so I just staple the receipt to the UPC code and if I have problems, I take them back to Wal-Mart. I have done that several times with no problems. They work well, but if they crack or break, you can get them replaced easily.

 

OEM. I tried Ancos but they didn't fit and they streaked. I was sort of upset because I heard they are a great replacement.

what u mean the ancos didnt fit?

 

almost every wiper blade i have used sucked, i like hte oem ones. i will try some silicone ones soon

 

They didn't fit in the groove so there was always a lot of play and clacking whenever I turned them on. That wasn't the only problem though, they were generally just really streaky.

 

50 bucks for wiper blades shipped is a little to much for me. I'll try to find some silicone or just get OEM replacements.

 

If I go to nissan and ask for wiper blades, will they give me real OEM ones? or generic "key value" stuff?

Michelin makes nissan OEM?

 

Me want to know too. Also how much do they cost?

 

peak valeo make nissan oem blade
atleast that what they say on the box

 

i am also in the market for wiper blades.. my friend swears by those winter blades that come wrapped in that weatherproof rubber and says they are tough and durable.. the pepboys ones last a few months but once they go over a frozen windshield, it's goodbye irene. the piaa ones that have the CF finish are funky.. i saw them at a meet and looked great. but like someone said, 50 bucks for blades is way too much.
i will be going to walmart this weekend and look for the lifetime warranty ones.
