Wipers??
Okay, this is kind of a weird topic, but I haven't seen anyone post about wiper blades. I am not too happy with the ones I have and was wondering if anyone has a preference for any particular blades and what size 18" or 16"?

I really like the Polar Guard Plus I just purchased for both my truck and the wife's Durango. Around $7 each. Full arm replacement. Not just the blade. Made by PEAK. I had been using a similar blade from NAPA. But these are slightly cheaper and as good or better.

I don't think I have Oreilleys anywhere around me. $20 each for wipers seems insanely high, but if they work really good and last a little longer, I wouldn't mind paying, but I sure like Orezonas $7 price a little better.

They have the rubber over the arm to prevent freezing from snow/ice buildup. I change mine once a year. This year is the 1st time I got them from Sams. But they seem just like the NAPA version I discovered while on a pheasant hunt in ND.

I run the new TRICO's (I can't think of what there called) 22" I have had them on for a year now and thats really good for down here the sun in the summer really cooks them. I really like the 22" ones over the stock size big diference.

I must apologize on the name I said . They are actually Anco contour blades. You can see them at http://www.federal-mogul.com/en/Afte...lades/Contour/
Hopefully that link works. They are the best wipers I have ever had. Longevity I am not sure yet since I have only had them a month.

Bosch Icon
I run Bosch Icon's on the truck and my wife's Durango, their the same design as Tom's "pressure flex", just a blade with an air foil on the top edge to keep the blade down on the glass. They are the best I've ever had, but spendy @ $20 to $25 each.

I got such a mish-mash of blades on my vehicles...
The Skooby-Roo got a new set of Rain-X metal frame blades Friday (before it froze and snowed like a biotch)..
My truck has a set of the NAPA/Trico frameless blades (Anco Contour is similar)... I put them on a couple weeks ago, and they suck. They already chatter and streak... drives ya nuts to listen to it.
Oldest kid's Silverado has a set of the generic condom covered winter wipers,
The 88 F150 has a set of Anco Winter Wipers on it, and frankly, is the best set of blades I got on anything right now.
