I've had really good luck with TRICO. I don't know if you can get them
on the east coast, though (dunno where you are).

One trick I've learned to keep wipers (and windshields) longer is to
clean the wiper blades regularly. Use isopropyl alcohol on a cotton
swab or a paper towel. Now that you've cleaned it, you've got to
lubricate it. Glycerine is a fairly good lubricant for rubber. It
won't cause deterioration - it's the primary ingredient in KY Jelly!

Lubrication is the key! Little dab'll do ya!!
