I have a 97 GLT. I need new Wiper blades. Any reccomendations? My dad suggests double blades. Any brand I should look out for?

 

Go to Autozone or a local part store and get Bosch.
Don't get the PIAASilicone ones. I hear they bonuce on the windshield.

 

Any particular model. I've been looking around and Bosch seems to be the recurring theme.

 

I actually put on the Trico Neoform blades on two of my cars and thus far - a few weeks - they are very good. They will not correct a swipe problem if you are only getting half wipes on the drivers side. For that you need to either bend or replace the wiper arm.

The $35ish dollar price tag for a pair is tough but I went through a huge thunderstorm last night and they were great. The old blades lifted at highway speeds and the new ones stay planted.

I personally use trico neoform beam blades and they are AWESOME. The price has come down a couple of bucks since the last post too...they're still around $32 for a pair though. Trico just came out with a brand new beam blade in October 2009 called the Trico Tech. Its an economy priced beam blade (around $24-$26 for a pair). I just got some of those and haven't put them on yet. They're going on my winter vehicle, a 05 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited.

Tip: No matter which blade you get, make sure you use the application book or computer box at the store or look up the correct part numbers online (you can search "lookup wiper size") - length is not only important but attachment is too. Use the online or book guides and you'll be good to go!!

 

Bosch ICON blades for me... I had a pair last 3 years on my old Jetta (now my wife's car) and so far, they've gone 2 years on my S70.

 

alot of the 850's have the issue with the blade lifting off on the last 6 inches or so. TCP has a kit out now to correct the issue. i already installed it on my ride, and wow what a difference.

i think tcp is also doing a black friday sale or something also, check the sponsor/vendor section.

 

Bosh wiper blades and Rain X, always use Rain X. Just drove 400 miles to get home for Thanksgiving in a light rain the entire way and did not need to use the wipers at highway speeds.
