Wiper upgrades Options

[Slick]

Just checking but are there any wiper blade upgrades for our cars? Something more streamlined like the newer models?

I've been using Bosch Icons for about two years now. They're just now getting to the point where they leave streaks. I normally only get one year out of my blades so I'm impressed. They're also the quietest blades I've ever had. Last I checked, they're also cheaper than Rain-X Latitudes. I highly recommend them.

Yep. I run those too. Never going back to any other blade.

Advance Auto Parts and Autozone usually run specials on them once and a while and you can get them "Buy one get one 50% off."

I got mine from O'Reilly's, like you said, buy one get one half off. I put Rain-X Latitudes on the Celica because they were out of Icons the day the Celi needed new blades. The Lats seem to perform similarly well, but not $5 a blade better. Plus I think they're a little more bulky where the blade meets the wiper arm, so not as pleasant to look at. Still, far better than the old style metal frame blades.
