Best wipers I have ever used were the Bosch wipers. About 8$ each at auto store but once you buy them the refills are only like 5$ a pair.
About 8 years ago we had some heavy rains so I stopped in and got some at Pep boys. EVER since then thats the only wiper brand I use. My new cars on the way home stop there and get a new set. I only need to replace mine once a year. Ive had the last set on for a year and its finally starting to chatter but still wipes fine.
I wont even bother with anything else

Best IMHO are PIAA, but I never checked to see if they make them for our truck.

I tested SilBlades - silicone wipers:
For drizzle/mist, at intermittent wiping, they were superior to the (standard) rubber wipers; but in full-on rain, they were not flexible enough to prevent hydroplaning and did not clear large areas in their path.
I suspect the PIAAs would be the same, but am hesitant about spending $40/pair.
I'd like to get feedback from someone actually using them on their Dak in various conditions.
One big advantage with silicone blades - they don't develop a memory for the parked position and flexibility is uniform accross a broad temperature range.

Thanks guys.
I have one Bosch wiper, and one acno, trying to compare. the anco one worked good for the first 3 months maybe, then it started to streak and has a hole in the rubber. the Bosch one I got about 2 weeks ago and this is the first rain that we have had. it seems to be working well. I think I will buy the other one.
do the refils work?? are they a pain in the ass to change.
