Need New Windshield Wiper Blades

I am in need of new wiper blades big time. Any recommendations where to get them besides the dealer? OE replacements/aftermarket? Not trying to spend to much, just need them replaced asap, thanks.

I have always had great luck with Bosch Micro Excel wipers.

I just bought another set from the dealership; I've tried a bunch of replacements and they always seem to wear out faster than the actual OEM ones. They weren't too ridiculously priced after getting the Evo club discount, about $24 total for both.

Rain X has a brand of wiper blades that are super soft and are awesome for rain. You dont have to worry about squeaking with these.

I have had nearly every blade over the last 20 years on countless cars and I can tell you hands down get PIAA. They are the best!!! Expensive, but worth it!! TRUST ME on this one, you'll thank me.

Krisdlm,
You will need a 24 inch blade for the driver side and a 18 inch blade for the passenger side.

When replacing your blades try to get the new style beam blades which do not have a metal frame. These blades, equipped with spoilers, provide a better wipe at high speeds.

One consideration that I would like to suggest is our line of AutoTex PINK which donates a portion of each sale to breast cancer research. You can purchase online at http://www.autotexpink.com

Thank you.

+1 on this one. I work at Napa and these are some awesome wiper blades, I've tried all the other kinds and haven't liked any as much as these.
