Re: wiperblade inserts


Rob asks:

>Does any one have a good suggestion for a brand of wiper blade inserts?<

This comes up so often, there ought to be an entry in the archives.

The OEM or Bosch inserts are very good, but they only last 6 months or
so here in the northeast and they break easily on icy days.  I like
the Tridon blades available from many discount stores and Imparts (see
parts_vendors in the archives).  They last over a year and are very
good quality.  Tridon has two types, Aerofoil and Global.  I used the
Globals (cheaper) on my wifes car and they lasted over a year and a
half before they started streaking.

I buy the Bosch blades and inserts for my Audi from any foreign auto
parts store to keep that OEM look.

Disclaimer, I have no interest in Imparts, Tridon, Bosch, or discount
store.  Only interested in good parts cheap.
