need new ones, my old ones stink.
figured people here would have opinions on brands, etc...
any advice?

how do you all feel about rainx?
 
Well you can get them ranging in cost from about $4 each up to about $20 each. The generic kind are cheapest, then the various types of Ancos range up to about $15 each. RainX are like $10 each, and Bosch are like $15 each.

Who knows what the difference is though. I'd check out bobthewiperguy.com.
 
i actually noticed a difference between the cheapo brand and the mid priced stuff, the quality of the rubber/silicone stuff is better, wipes more evenly and gets every water molecule in a wipe...
 
A month ago, I tried some triple-edge Anco blades on my Honda Passport. Horrible, horrible blades. At highway speeds, wind tended to lift the top part of the blade away from the windshield. Unfortunately, that's the precise part of the blade that needs to be in contact since that's the part of the windshield you're most likely to be looking through. A few days later, thanks to a recommendation from this forum, I went to Target and bought some cheap Car & Driver brand (I think) blades for about $4 each. Wonderful blades. No noise whatsoever and they work at highway speeds.
