Got a Dealer mailing today with "service specials" that don't seem all that special, including-Windshield Wiper Blades (2) - $19.95 with coupon

damn those are expensive, i would of gotten these sweet "truck" wipers that were all brushed steel looking, sorta like the silver inthe interior of the car, but they didnt have size 21. so i got the plain blades at like 7-8 bucks a piece at fleet farm

good set of blades go for 10-15$ at stores like autozone or pep boys.anything the dealer offers and can be found somewhere else. is cheaper somewhere else. unless it's body parts and eng parts. forget the dealer.

Yow, those are, um, extra special! I bought a set of Ancos at Wal*Mart about a month ago, can't recall the exact price but they were cheap. Less than $10 for both after tax. They usually last 6-8 months before they no longer meet CP's standards, so I replace them (which by that time, they probably still have plenty of life left in them for most other people. lol!)

Mine are almost 3 years old -so I goota go to Wal-mart. Are they both 21 inches? Rear 16"?

Just picked a set up yesterday... Just over ten bucks for actual wiperblades (not refills) Driver side is 20" passenger side is 18"not sure about the back ..I forgot all about it at the store Don

I just take one of my front wipers and cut it to size to fit the rear. I replace mine when they start to streak... so they have plenty of life left to swish away a little water of the rear window.I put a sick amount of miles on my car in a lot of weather so I spend the extra bucks on good wipers. The rear is just a luxury - so I don't pay $$ for a replacement

walmart auto parts are on the cheap and poor quality side.not to knock walmart or anything. you just have less options when it comes to auto parts there. anything else, walmart has about everything. almost all wiper chnge i've done, the blade usually goes for 1 year thru before it starts to loose performance. mine are almost due. i will wait till october to replace mine. that way, i will be fresh for winter.

But I thought they probably have brand name (ANCO?) wiper bades on the cheap. Would not buy a Wal-mart brand.

most autoplace recomened that wippers be replaced every 6 months...I do mine once a year.
