OK please let me know the brand and part. I have a guy at work that hooked me up with the front blades because they have an account with napa. He said he would get me a rear one.

i use the Exact-Fit blades by Trico, the ones from kragen. they work great and they are cheap. i change mine every 6 months regardless of weather.
i got an 06 wagon too and keep the blade replacement types written in my glove box so i dont have to search
the driver side is the 22-1
the pass side is 17-1
the rear hatch is 14-B

Yeah your suppose to change out your wiper blades every 6 months. Depends on what you see is fit for your purpose. I drive out alot to the rain/snow. I just realized when I changed out my front windshield wipers what a difference it was. And that was 2 years and 4 months with the OEMs! no more squeaking and I can actually see better! I might follow Irish car bomb on changing my blades.

i replace the rear once a year. and i really onyl use it when i go up to the snow and occasionalyl if it is monsooning outside and i am tryign to back up in a parking lot.
mostly i use it if there is a fellwo scoob behind me and they wave, i use my back wiper to wave back.
i pry should replace it more but i have 5% tint in the back window so unless the sun shines directly in i cant see **** out it anyway.
the front i replace very 5-6 months, no more than 6 just cuz i like to be able to see the road.
its more of a safety thing than anything. i run with my little boy in the car a lot so safety first.
the thing is the sun breaks the rubber down more than anything thats why they should be replaced.
and like soobedup said the difference is night and day with new blades.
