Anyone ever found a good replacement wiper blade?
I'm still using the stock original wipers and it's time to change them. I know when the car's first came out there were not many good replacements. Has anyone found something that works well?

I like the Trico NeoForms. They're OEM on a lot of vehicles and they've proven themselves for me. Trico invented the wiper blade too. (not that that matters)

Ok in need of blades too ..still have my originals on but car only has just under 24k.
Which ones (pt#) etc on the new OEM or the Trico.
I had Trico on other cars and liked them but the OEMs held up good ..Dealer is smoking crack for what they want for them. 63.00

I'm using some Rain-X blades off of I think Rock Auto and/or Amazon. They were cheap, arrived fast, and work perfectly.
