anyone know of better windshield wiper blades?
 
because the ones on my STi suck very much! especially living on windward side! ahhh the squeak, skip, and leave a smear which makes it difficult to see when raining!!! :mad:

try silicone based wiper blades buy piaa or silblade. i heard those were pretty good.

BoOm 12-14-2003 11:25 PM

silblade all the freaking way. no streaks anymore

biggest mistake ever i did with rain-x is that i put them on all the windows. never put it on your rear driver's side window, bad when you go to the tracks :p

yeah the blades suck! not even 4 months and already they make noise and skip. went to checkers today and bought a pair. i was looking for the teflon ones but no one had the size i needed. so i ended up just buying the basic ones.

1.5 years and 20k miles and I'm still on the originals. Best blades I've had in a car yet!

I've used the Bosch teflon (on the car now) ones and the other ones that start with a "T" (made by Bosch, also) and like the ones that start with a "T" much better. MY wife has them on her car and they are 1 1/2 years old and cut right through MN slush and crud.

PIAA is the best

Agreed PIAA wipers are the best. I've got these on my car and I love em...

I agree.....they have treated me pretty well....although I've only had them about half as long :D

Alot has to do with the cleanliness of your windshield and how you use your wipers. If you use them all the time to "clean" your windshield they WON'T last long at all :p

I use the PIAAs and I like everything EXCEPT where the passenger side wiper stops its travel (i.e. right in front of the driver) it leaves a line of...stuff. It's very annoying especially because of where it is. I don't think I'd buy these again.
