Best Wiper Blades

I rue the day that I got the Bosch Icon blades - they're less than a year old and the driver's side blade is already streaking. Heck, I got the stockers to last almost a year and a half before they started to show signs of streaking.

My Las Vegas brothers & sisters - what blades have you found to best hold up under our extreme sun & cold conditions?

Have you tried the PIAA Super Silicone blades? I'm no longer willing to pay $20 per blade (no one sells refills these days I guess) when they won't last at least a year.

I could go back to stock from the dealer and have better performance.

Just go to the dealer for the refills. Theyre like 6 bucks each and last long enough. Just keep them clean once in awhile! So many people say they need new blades when all they needed was a rubdown.

to be honest, my stock ones lasted 30K. I got the new silicon PIAAs now, I will throw them in for the spring. I wiped them really well each time I was washing the car.

I have the Rain-x latitude on my SUV and like them so much that I am going to buy them for the Evo when I get it back.

my first set of stockers lasted me 30k through new england/phily winters. i had rain-x on my last jeep, and i hated it. i swear my windshield was always hazy. odds are i applied it wrong, but it shouldnt have been as bad as it was for so long either.
