Wipers

Motorcraft wiper blades for my 2000 EXP are $20 from the dealer. Are they that much better than after market? Any suggesting on after market blades?

Well, all my experience says that original parts are better than the most cheaper aftermarkets.

About wipers, I have experimented with various aftermarket blades for my BMW. First time (2 weeks to 2 months in general) they work OK. But then they should be replaced. Original BMW wipers (for my car it is 35 EUR ~ 40 USD per pair) works just fine about 6 months.

So I try to use only original wipers on both cars (BMW and Ford), and never regretted it.

With best regards,
Yuri
