Can someone point me to a good brand of winter wiper blades?
It appears that Aanco is no longer around.
It appears that Bosch doesn't make them anymore
Trico is everywhere but the pair I bought is junk.
And the beam type blades work horrible in ice and snow (although I like them
in the summer).
Anyone have a recommendation?

the auto parts guy said that Trico had bought Aanco. Which accounts to as to
why not a single store (out of 10) carries them anymore. All 10 stores
carried Trico crap. No one carried Trico last year.

Trico was just purchased by an independent finance outfit Kohlberg &
Company.
Anco is owned by Federal Mogul. They kept the brand through the bankruptcy.
