Definitely worth it. Same price I believe. Then match it up with sn aquapel window treatment and your golden. Think you can purchase at any local pep boys or autozone

Are the Bosch the best blades you can buy? How much do they run? I'm still on my oem's and they are starting to streak a little.

I think the ones i have are 22's and from reviews they are currently the best ones on the market. They can be purchased for as little as $15 each online. A bargain. want it to rain now so i can try them out.

Wow, new blades on an '09 already....time is flying by!!! I ususally change mine about every 2 years or so and replace with the Ford OEM blades...have had the best luck with those. About all I use'em for here in SoCal is to wash the windshiled every now and then. Generally, the UV rays fry them after a couple of years. Looks good Barritia

Keep an eye on those. I had a set and after about 6 months, they started scuffing my windshield. I had to get them off there.

Well just had their first test out just a second ago. Had a small down poor and they work well. They leave no smearing at all after they clear the screen. They seem to give me less vibration through my pedals also which is a bonus. Love the way they look from inside though. Hate seeing them stupid metal frames of the OEM wipers. I think there's less chance of these scratching the window due to there being no metal on them. Will wait and see though.
