Yeah, I think I have enough. NAPA had a 2/$5 sale last weekend so I bought three sets. Today, at Here Today I found the same NAPA wipers marked at 2/$3. Since I have some difficulty finding 26" wipers it seemed wise to stock up, and now whenever they start to streak I can just toss them and not grumble about a $15 wiper lasting only a few months.

Just upgraded to PIAA silicone blades recently and even though they’re expensive, I am not going back to non-silicone blades. Worth it.

I’ve tried all sorts of expensive blades, but none seem to work well for more than a few months. I think a large part of the problem is the length - at 26" on the driver’s side there is an issue with the mechanisms providing enough downforce in the center of the blade, leaving a big streaky area right in my line of sight. On the passenger’s side the 16" blades last 3-4 times longer than the driver’s side without the center streaking issue.
