you buy rubber bldes not those stiffer cheap ones.. also make sure you

also, periodically wipe them with a clean paper towel soaked in rubbing
alcohol, or an alcohol pad, it will bring your wipers back to life.

Yes ,all great points,everyear I contemplate to buy those rubber
inclosed blades,the kind that keep ice off the blade from forming,I do
wipe them of w/a paper towel,but never used alcohol,bring on that
winter!.

those are winter blades and I leave them on all year. They definetly
ork in the snow.. they on't get all blocked up. I use only avvco
blades and am very happy. The top notch ones I got at advance auto
parts (cost more) I took off in 2 weeks and tossed them. They were too
stiff an noisy. Thye were the ones with he multi blades tri
something.. just a gimmick

Yea, a gimmick that can ruin your windshield!  Mine got a small stone
cought in between the blades and put a perminant scratch on my
windshield.
