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

Bringing this thread back from the dead..
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. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
