songbird formulated the question :

the common ones have been utter crap. i replaced
mine last fall and already one has torn.

I paid over $15.00 for one blade two years ago. That's a big jump from
the early 70's were a single wiper blade was less than 5 bucks.

this set ran $10, so not too bad, but they seem
so cheaply made that they are designed to fail.

the other thing that bugs me is that i drive this
car so rarely that they've hardly had any use at all.

probably ripped when i lifted it up to get the ice
off the windshield, but i was careful. maybe not
careful enough.

thanks to everyone for the replies. i don't think i
can get refills now that i've changed the factory blades
out for replacements (and yes, by chance it is a Honda
will be 20yrs old this spring ) (ahem, the car, not
me). this was the first and only car i've ever bought
new. i still love driving it.

still collects mice in there too. very expensive
mouse trap.
