I've always had issues with the OEM blades... a few days after a car wash, the blades will start squeaking, especially on the highway.
Has anyone used aftermarket ones like these?

*And what's the difference between the 3? (is that aero-wing a gimmick?)
Has anyone tried these wiper blades?

Re: Has anyone tried these wiper blades?
Hi
Haven't tried those. I buy mine from Bursons- not in a packet and made by Tridon or Trico cannot remember which one. They keep them out the back and they have a grey finish on the blade. Cost less than $8.00 for the pair and they are great in wiping and longevity. One of the best i have ever used.

Thanks Ralt... where would you source them from?
And it's not the 'flexi-blade' I'm guessing?...

I have similar looking repco branded ones on the people mover, no idea about that aero-wing thing but they seem to work fine.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I am currently using ones from costco as well. I was so impressed with them i ended up buying a set for my mums and the missus' car as well.
They are Goodyear Assurance branded and are frameless.

What's the brand of the ones from Costco...?
And do they flop around on the highway (while the wipers are on)

Try rain ex. Reduced need for wipes. I just run the repco ones from "out the back".
