[s-cars] Best wiper blades?

[Richard Beels]

I like the triple-edge blades. 100% silicone and lifetime guarantee.  i
sent in $3 to cover shipping for a new pair of refills right a couple weeks
after I got mine (and decided I'd keep them) so I wouldn't be stranded with
a rubber blade streaking all over the windshield while I waited for a
replacement.  Imagine my (happy) surprise when 2 weeks later, a new
complete set of wipers (blades, arms, hardware, extra hardware) arrived.

The silicone blades, coupled with the rain-x washer fluid, provide about
2/3 of the performance of rain-x with zero of the work of applying it
manually (defrosting the windshield for 10 minutes because it goes on
better when the glass is warm/hot, wiping it on, buffing it out,
rinse/lather/repeating, etc...).  Still have to do the sides and the
mirrors though.
