bought a set at pep boys today. pretty expensive - $20 a piece!!!! i figured what the hell. ill splurge on some blades since i have heard awesome things about them. well, the only thing i know so far is they look better than the motorcraft ones, they are weird to put on (not just a normal snap on) and they are $$$!!

pics!

I run the RainX blades. I don't think i'm going to buy them again though. They don't wipe cleanly. They hop over the windshield unless it's pouring rain out.

Then again i use rainX windshield washer fluid. Maybe it's making the windshield sticky or something.

yeah my ford ones skipped across the glass liek a 3rd grader at recess. what i liked the most about these is the design creates MANY pressure points across the whoel blade, and it has a built in aerofoil to push the blade down onto the glass when ur on teh highway

+2. BOSCH parts are well worth the money. (except for spark plugs )

I have used the Rain-X ones and I'm not impressed. It leaves a film and they are only a few months old. The cheapy AFFCO or whatever Wal-Mart sells in the yellow package are better than the rain-x ones.

My buddy has those on his ranger.. those things are the balls! I am also not impressed w/ the rain-x wipers, so these will be their replacement..

For $20 each I hope they last a couple of years at least.
