At 58,000 miles, I am overdue for my 3rd set of wiper blades. Last time, I went with OEM and the price at the dealer was unbelievably high. I decided to try them anyway to see if they were worth it. IMHO, they were not.
Anyone have any particular recommendation for replacement blades? I'd like the keep the little wind deflector on the driver's side.
Thanks!
I've tried many brands of wiper blades. Poor performing wiper blades drive me nuts. So, you could say I'm picky about the blades I have on my vehicles.
That said - I would have to say that the best performing blades that I have ever used have to be the Triple Edge blades.
The Triple Edge blades I have perform flawlessly, year round - no streaks or smears. They hold up well/last a long time. If I remember right, they come with a lifetime warrantee. They talk up the silicon compound that they are made of on the box. Most often I would just consider this more advertising hype. I'm no expert in this area, but I will at least say that the performance and longevity of their blades are impressive.
The OE blades on my girlfriend’s car had seen better days. In fact they were pretty much useless. I replaced them with Triple Edge blades. My girlfriend knows nothing about cars or mechanical things. She only knows results. She has been very pleased with her new blades.
I haven't had to replace the set on my truck for a long time now. If and when I do, I will replace them with another set of Triple Edge blades.
I expect that it won’t be to long after my Liberty arrives from the factory that I’ll be swapping out the OE blades for a pair of Triple Edge’s.
I got mine from Wal-Mart. I suppose you can find them at various auto stores as well…
