WIPER BLADES ON GEN III'S

[SHOWHAT9]

I know in the greater scheme of things this is a relatively minor PIA but I can't seem to find any blades that will last more than a month. Typically I have been using ANSCO's but within 30 days they start streaking. It just makes me crazy. Has anyone had better luck with another brand? shrug

Use good blades in conjuction with a monthly or Biweekly coat of Rain-X. You'll get 3 month plus. If you see rain in the forecast always recoat the rainX. Of course this is what works for me.

Secondly. I forgot, if you find your blades streaking try a cotton ball and isopropyl alcohol and give the rubber a good wipe down.

Anco's are the worst!!! Ever since I have discoved Bosch Micro Edge Excel two years ago, they have gone on every vehicle in the family! I haven't replaced any of them in two years and they still work awesome! This is one of the areas where you get what you pay for! thumbs_u beer

I second that. I've had the Bosch Micro Edge Excel for the past 6 months without a flaw.

Well, it must have been a slo saturday for the Lists. I have combined suggestions from both V8List and Forum to come up with the following solution.
1)cleaned glass with thinner
2)RainX applied
3)Bosch Blades are newly installed.
BRING ON THE RAIN!!! Thanks to everybody who pitched in their experience. thumbs_u
