Wiper blades!

[Zap]

I prefer Anco Winter Blades.

My wife had the Anco Winter blades before and they worked just fine. We're running the standard Anco stuff right now and they work fine too. FWIW Consumer Reports rated the standard Anco blades as one of the top choices even compared to blades costing nearly 10x as much. Walmart has them for around $5 each.

Crossed drilled and hollow wiper blades are good for weight reduction and add 10 hp.

No, silly, they're only good for an additional 5hp. To bump up to 10hp you need the dual blades with the fins in either red or yellow.

I bought RainX blades...work great for me.

Yea I've used the cheapy Rain-X blades for two years and they work great.

RainX latitudes work like a fucking boss.

Don't get the Aero ones that consumer reports rated. They're shit. (They're the ones I have now and I want to replace them ASAP)

My rainX blades started smearing water after a month. I tried cleaning them with alcohol... vingear, then wiping some rain-x on there. None of it worked.
Bosch always worked perfectly for me.

I like Bosch Icons, but I imagine the RainX ones do okay too. I like the flexy rubber ones.

Same here. They don't last the longest, but they do a fantastic job of clearing both rain (light and heavy) and snow/sleet. You can usually get some good deals on these through either Amazon or Advance Auto Parts from time to time. Great product.

I've been very happy with the Goodyear blades I got at Costco. One point they were buy one get one free. Set of blades for $8.

Ever use silicone blades? I'm not sure about winter conditions, but in Florida they are amazing. The heat here in the summer breaks down rubber blades in a few months. Silicone blades last practically forever. They are just as soft and work just as well as the day I put them on. I will never buy rubber blades again. Brand called Tripledge. Got them off ebay for about $5.99 each.

I tried out a pair of Anco bendy ones, horrible from day 1. Streaking all along the blade, that jumping noise when its not riding smoothly (no matter how much water was on the windshield), and at both ends, the last 3" or so didn't have enough pressure at all, actually about 1mm above the glass at the ends

Costco near me just got more in stock so maybe going onsale again soon. 🙂
