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've always used the Bosch myself, the seem to last a lot longer than the cheap ones.

PIAA is the only thing I will use now. I have had them for almost a year now and they still work like new. http://piaa.com/WiperBlades/WiperBlades.html

i quite using trico's, they suck. usually end up buying the most expensive where ever i'm at, when it starts raining. which also happens to be when they need to be replaced the most. installing in the rain hard to find ones that doesn't sweak!

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.

I run Motorcraft on all my rides.
I also clean my blades monthly with alcohol wipes.

Lots of Ford owners swear by PIAA Silcone blades.

Maybe someday I will try some.......

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
