Just replaced my Bosch blades on my truck after 5 years. Great wiper blades! It's stored outside in the sun too. Worth the extra money IMO.

I've used Bosche Marathon before I bought my camaro.... Only sold @ walmart. They are like $17 each, but they were quiet, last long and have a sleek look to them... I usually change them once I notice smearing or noise.

On a related note, before 2012 I *always* purchased refills, not blades. It seems that getting new blades are the only choice going forward.
Funny, but the blade assembly on my last car looked fine after 18 years. |

I have always just got the stock ones again when I need them. I replace mine every summer. I have tried other brands but they either make noise or streak. Just my opinion..

I don't drive enough in the rain to wear my blades out. They will probably dryrot first lol
I am impressed by the OEM ones.

I also pick up wipers from Walmart, usually right before an inspection.
