Windshield wiper blade replacement question.

My room mate works at autozone, and recommends the Bosch wipers. He and I have run pretty much everything else available, in addition to bosch. On many fronts, he says Bosch stuff is not worth the extra money. In this case, he makes an exception.
 
I haven't had much luck with the Trico brand working well either. It's been less then 6 months and need to replace them again.

They do work great for the first month or so, especially if you wipe them down with the alcohol pad before installing.
 
wipers don't last long up here. and bosch isn't much better for the money. I'd just refill the trico's. I heard somewhere about some new wiper made of a diff compound that is supposed to last forever. :shrug; I bet it's already been posted but it's late and I'm tired
