What are other people using for replacement windshield wiper blades? I've been using trico neoform beam blades for years and they're awesome but before I go out and buy more neoforms, was wondering if there was anything brand new out there in the last year that are notable and I should take a look at? I gotta buy new wipers for all 4 vehicles before winter!!

I find that cheaper blades replaced more often are the best value proposition. The biggest improvement comes from really getting the windshield cleaned with a clay bar and then using a glass treatment.

All my replacement wipers are Bosch Icons. They never ever streak, chatter, stick, or flop around, they last much longer than cheaper brands, and with frequent sales and coupons, still cost about $10 a blade... or less. When the time comes to replace the wipers on the Ody, all three will be Icons.

DMy real question was is there anything brand new in the last year?
I actually started with rainx latitudes years ago but they were too stiff and had the largest, ugliest and cheesiest attachments ever. Then I spent the big bucks on icons and they were good but expensive. I switched from icons to neoforms about 3 years ago and imo they are slightly better at a lower price. Super quiet, smooth, excellent attachment without any snap on adapters. I've got a couple of weeks still before I order but was mainly seeing if there's something new I should research...otherwise I'll stick with the neoforms.

Agreed, they're cheap, original and work well. What advantages could be gained by buying aftermarket???
Yep, I pay $11 and the dealer puts them on for free during one of my oil changes. I get about 6 months out of them with going through the car wash twice a month.
:cheers:
I stock up when there is buy one get one.

Best Wiper Blades
Went on a mission to find special rear wiper blade for one of my 3 vehicles. Couldn't find them at any stores in my area. Wipers123 online had them in stock that fit exactly. At the same time picked up some one-piece wipers on the front and they also work well – all of the above were pleasant surprises I’ve been happy with.

I prefer the beam blades - especially in the wisconsin winters. They don't collect snow and ice in the frames and if they do, one simple snap against the glass and everything comes off. They're also quieter than the oldschool framed wipers. Different strokes for different folks but I really like the neoforms.
not sure about your area or your weather conditions out there but Costco Wholesale had http://www.goodyearwiperblade.com/ for buy one get one @ 8.00 ($4/ea).
