Now Aero wiper blades wiper blades from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 $18 for a pair. They last 2 years. Total per year: $9. I've already had them on my Camry for a year and it's going on year 2 for my Sienna. Easy to install, wipes the windows clean with no streaks, no need for any other window treatment, no noise and cheaper than OE

I think the OEM blades cost more than $8. It's the rubber refills that are $8.

Do you really need to change them twice a year? I'm not sure if it's the quality of aftermarket blades or the weather in your area, my OEM refills last at least 3 years; it doesn't rain a lot here, but the sun does dry them out.

I was referring to the oem rubber blades, which I've used. I was probably exaggerating a bit on changing them twice a year . They are good quality, but they wear out in a year, and the rubber shredds. We have a rainy season that can last 3 or 4 months if it's not a drought year. I tried a few other brands and found that the Aero's last easily over two years, are streak free, and have an easy snap on design. Plus they are cheap
