[s-cars] aero blade wipers?

[brian hoeft]

doing some clicking and reading, figured id respond with my 2 cents

i just bought nice bosch aero whatevers a few weeks ago and have had the
nicest swipe in memory. this, after i bought a set for my mother for her
hyundai santa fe and she told me that her wipers have never worked so good
"especially on the highway" which she takes 60 miles each way 4 days a
week..

i also use rain-x as routine, have 22" on both sides.. i paid $20 for both,
but my friend works at car-quest, so go figure.

im pleased so far, but its only been about a month. if they get through the
winter and then some i'll be satisfied.
