Default does anyone make a decent wiper blade?

They were cheaper at the dealer than either of the other two.


It never crossed my mind to buy wipers from the dealer but I've never
been back there since I bought the car. Nothing against the dealer,
but I find it more convenient to service my own vehicles. The wiper
blades usually come from the NAPA store up the street from my
workplace.

The pita is they are different sizes and I have trouble remembering
one size. I've had two Yaris's and I also have to remember the right
year of the current one since the sizes changed during the model run.


I bought the wipers from the parts counter and installed them myself.
They are silent, clean perfectly, fit perfectly, no big bulges where it
attaches to the arm, and all three cost $54.75.
