Just picked up a few sets for the Mazda and the Sienna. I love these blades but boy are they pricey. The plus side is I only have to replace them once a year. Those cheap-o ones I'll burn through in 4-6 months.

If you have a Costco membership, the Goodyear wiper blades are awesome, US-made, and only $7.99

But still, I need cerium oxide on my windshield because of permanent windshield marks (the GY wipers didn't do it; the damage was already there)

The closest Costco is over an hour. :(

Right on. Those Goodyear blades rock. And sometimes they even have them on sale 2 for 1. I usually stock up whenever they do.

Bought a pair of those at Costco. $11 plus tax. What really sucks is I only use them once or twice maybe three times a year and they rot from the sun. What ya gonna do?

Cheapest place I'd found for them. I think I paid $12 for a pair.

not to discount anyone's experiences with the Costco Goodyear blades, but on my '11 Impreza they were appalling - it may have been a combo of the windshield curve, arm tension, maybe residue on the windshield? but I took them back and Costco's return desk remarked "yeah, we've seen a lot of these coming back lately".. maybe a bad batch..

ymmv, though it's a killer good deal (esp when it's 2 for 1)
