Mine suck. They've been on the car since December, and they're already falling apart. Cheap pieces of shit...

In any case, I want those cool single piece blades that BMW puts on all of its cars. Thoughts?

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

True. The $6 wipahs won't be going onto my car next time.

I just got some on Ebay (I'm pretty sure they're not the same one BMW use but a simular design) for 12 bucks a set.

I find most times unless the wipah is physically falling apart, it can just be cleaned and they work as good as new again... i've replaced my wipahs once in 7 years

Yeah, as long as the rubber isn't torn, wiping the blade down with some rubbing alcohol can make a big difference.  I've probably only changed mine once since I've owned the car.

I had some Bosch Icons on my car for a long time and loved them.  I got Rain X Latitude on it right now and they work good but not as good as the Bosch IMO.

I had good luck with these guys:



I had the Michelin version on the Bravada for a while and loved 'em.  The same blade (but perhaps different brand?) came on the A4 and it works well.

Also, when I bought them for the Bravada, I just bought one for the driver's side because they're so damn 'spensive.  I don't care 'bout my passenger's vision! :lol:

Get the Bosch Icons.  They're very good.
