Vibe wiper blades
Vibe wiper blades
Last fall I upgraded my wipers on my 2007 Vibe to the newer-style framless Trico NeoForm Beam Blades that have a teflon coating. I thought I'd report my review. They wipe clean and are very quiet (probably because of the teflon). Performed well in fall and winter (in wisconsin) and so far so good in spring. They came with step-by-step removal and replacement instructions and were an easy installation. I'm posting now because I just received an email from wipers123 where I purchased mine, and there's currently a $15 rebate through 5/15/10 and an additional $5 coupon "springreturningcustomer". I'm not ready to replace mine yet, so take it if you want it... I thought I'd pass this along!BTW - I also found a rear wiper blade replacement at the same time: Trico Exact Fit Rear Integral Blade. Snaps right onto the special factory rear arm and looks like the factory original.

Still on the ones that came with the car, myself. But it's good to know that some expensive wipers do the job they should!

2005 Matrix XR AWD I use the Rain X wiper blades with no springs, just the smooth solid blade. It is amazing!

My first set last me 2 years - I love brand new, smooth windshield glass!! Unfortunately I tailgate to my glass gets pitted over time.If you shop around they're not that expensive. Of course they're not a $10 set but you're looking at about $25 shipped on sale/rebate.

Re: Vibe wiper blades
So I just replaced the blades on my '05 AWD with the Anco 31 series, which was rated high by Consumer Reports (~$5 per blade @ Wal-Mart).I bought 22" for the driver side and 18" passenger.I think OEM driver side is 21".Has anyone experimented with a longer driver side blade than 22"? Seemed like there was room to go longer...
