You didn't read the warning?!?!? Besides, the thread title clearly states what's going on in here, what did you expect?!?!?

If I clicked on a thread that said "LAWL my tire has a pebble in between the tread!!! (no 56k)" then I'd determine it's 48 high-res pictures from all different angles of a pebble lodged into the tread of a tire, something I see daily out of the corner of my eye. Would I click the link? Nope. I have what's called judgment, and I can make it (judgment) out of thin air! Maybe I should go on the road with my judgment act, or maybe I should make threads with blatantly obvious thread titles with extremely boring content so that you'll have no choice but to spend hours on these forums reading and wishing you had those precious minutes of your life back.

Or... maybe... you won't even come back to this thread to read any of this and it was just in vain.

My stock wiper blades are at 35k miles in the colorado weather seasons, still fine. When they do need replacing, I will go with Bosch like I did on my last EVO.

I wish you would all buy the $100,000 cars you all seem to think you deserve and leave these forums to people that enjoy what these cars have to offer without bickering over every little thing that happens to pretty well every car manufactured these days which a pretty small really. It wasn't too many decades ago where it was just nice just to have a car that started consistently in the cold weather and lasted 100K miles without falling apart.
lol someone has some pent up angst, but I agree

Bosch Icons FTW Hands down the best wiper I've had on any of my cars(have them on my lancer oz and my evo.) I live down south so the weather is really hot then cooler at night lots of rain. They last about year. The only downside is they are a little pricey... I think 28-35 range if I remember correctly.

Wow the stock wipers really suck. From day one. They don't work in rain, snow, road spray, etc... This begs the question: What are they good for?

Is it really that bad??? They are wipers... they cost like $20 to change if you don't like them.

I put in Valeo Ultimate Wipers that can be found at TireRack.

I only have 2k on my car. I've removed, inspected the hinges/blades/rivets and cleaned them thoroughly...still don't keep clean contact with the glass. Passenger side is the worst. The rivets are already rusted and have scratchy/limited movement. Maybe someone switched them on the lot before I bought it. Anyway, easy fix, new blades today.
