Wiper blades.

Wiper blades.
Anyone out there have a preference based on quality and longevity? I don't want fancy ones with wings. I want one that works. I've tried many different kinds on many vehicles over the past 35 years and have never been impressed with any of them. I need to replace the ones on my F150 and my kids Jeeps.

I have yet to find a wiper blade that satisfies me. I did, however, run across a silicone blade (sorry, can't remember the name - it's been that long) from Wally World a few months ago. I figured I'd try them since it seems like I replace them ever other week. To my surprise they worked really well. I've had them the longest out of any brand I've tried (4+ months) and still perform like new. I even put a set on my wifes car. There are no streaks, squeaks, or imperfections, just a really good wipe. I went with 22" both sides and have yet to have a problem. Plus, they have a lifetime guarantee. Might I add they are cheaper than the other brands, too. Hope this helps.

I tried the triple edge blades probably 20 years ago when they first came out. The idea seemed good but they were junk.

I purchased the SilBlades after hearing the great reviews that everyone here was giving them, and they are good blades. BUT the finish on the frames of both pairs I have owned (upgraded to 22"...) is very poor. They look like crap after a few months on the truck, as the frame shows rust at every joint. The blades still wipe as good as the day I installed them, but there is a nasty pile of rust spots sitting right in my line of sight every day. A little dissappointing for the $$ they get for them...

I've never had any finish problems on either set I've owned...
Matt--maybe yours got **REALLY** abused by the UPS man before they showed up at your door?

I sell Mighty blades. I used to carry rainny days, but they had a bad batch and pissed off a lot of my customers, so i canned them. Haven't had a problem with a mighty blade yet, but if anyone wants to try some let me know. I sell them for $7.95 per blade retail, but I can hook you c=guys up with a much better price than that. Anyone near me here in cumming that wants to try a pair out and report to the forum, they'll be on the house!
I run them on the front and back of my Nav, no issues (cept when my car wash hangs the rear. And its always only my car that it happens to, damnit)
