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.

I've had good luck using Fresh Cab Rodent Repellant.

Good old fashioned stinky moth balls seem to work also. I've read
peppermint
oil works but haven't tried it.
