Windshield Wipers

Since the cold weather rolled in and my Bosch wipers are pretty much done, I was just wondering what brand of Winshield wipers are you guys using?

Thanks,

I'm actually in the market for some new ones as well. I usually get some from Wal-Mart.

I normally use the Bosch blades but, I just bought a set of the Piaa silicone ones and they work pretty good.

The Bosch Icon's (i think thats the name) and the Rain-X Latitudes are both great. My Latitudes are making it through the snow and ice thus far just fine. They have been on for about 6 months and still kicking.

I use the Valeo ones almost identical to the Bosch Icons. The valeo ones use a much better rubber compound and last a lot longer. The Icons usually last just a season or 2, until they start streaking/smearing. But for winter definitely use a spring type blade (Bosch Icons, Anco Contor, Valeo, Rain-X Latitude, etc) because it's much easier to get ice off them.

thanks for the input guys... I might just go with the Rain-X I had the Bosch ones and they were ok.. They would streak from time to time...

No, you big dummy. Have you ever seen Equate brand wiper blades? Wal-Mart does sell Bosch and Rain-X.

Let's explore your musings. You would rather spend more money at another store for the same exact product that you can get cheaper at Wal-Mart. I can tell your education has paid off serious dividends for you. Keep in mind that Wal-Mart is the largest retailer in the world. So how is shopping in Wal-Mart not a good thing?
