I just get mine from the dealer. Cost me like 37 bucks for bothso that's not bad. I'm pretty **** about my windshield, I use the "rain off" stuff and fill my washer fluid quite a bit lol.Crappy wiperstick me off. And they're simple to put on...I would imagine no more complicated than for an Escort.

i got BOSCH ones for less than $20 from autozone, and i use RainX spray and windshieldflued. After i clean my windshield with RainX spray and drive in rain i dont use my wipers at all, water just runs off faster than i can wipe it off.

I just posted this on my own post,

I too priced the dealer wipers...not worth it as the new Beam blade designs exceed the old frame design style in all aspects....the anti-lift wing is designed into the wiper arm....here's my post:

I had to bring back one of my winter wipers to NAPA as a plastic clip broke.
[/align]
[/align]NAPAand Autozone carry Icons... the zone is $19.89
[/align]
[/align]I inquired about Icons and the Trico NeoForms...pretty much the same design...Beam Blade.
[/align]
[/align]The owner told me he and the localBMW / Benz dealer sent the Icons back as the rubber wiper might as well have been made from tissue paper.
[/align]
[/align]He say's in short time they leave lines behind.....it made me think about the Bosch Micro Edge I had on my other car and they were like that.
[/align]
[/align]He went on to say all his plow trucks run the NeoForms now and they work awsome.
[/align]
[/align]He exchanged my winter blades for the NeoForms.....I drove from the store back home in a snow storm..about 15 miles....
[/align]
[/align]So far they work great! not a sound and they wipe 100%

Here's the NeoFrom NAPA part # 60-2143
