either OEM or PIAA Super Silicone for me.

 

oem blades or just the refills? besides going to the local dealership, where are you guys buying your's at?

i got these blades for the 93 ls i had before and it worked fine, but when i put it on the 99, the metal holder hits the hood.

 

+1 for PIAAs, water beading at its best

 

I just use cheapo anco's from Wally world.

They work great for $3-4 a pop!!


How much are OEMs??

 

I ended up just using the inserts from the new blades and put them on the old ones. Works fine now.

 

Piaa Super Sporza on the driver side and Super Silicone on the passenger.

 

^I should have went there instead of Kmart.....they,(anco), were $7 apiece there.

 

OEM. I haven't tried the PIAA's, just about every other streaks, chatters or doesn't last very long.

 

I highly recommend the PIAA silicone blades. They apply a bit of silicone to the glass while operating, causing the water to bead. If you've ever used Rain-ex, you'll know what I mean. No streaks, squeeks or chatter. I had them on my '90 LS, have them on my F350 and Pacifica, and just ordered a set from Amazon for my '99 LS. ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002Z9QRG ). They last a long time. They were still on the '90 when I sold it (at least 2 years) and have been on the Pacifica for 2 years and the F350 for one year.

Any big deal to getting wiper blades.

 

Not really but I would go with the OEM blades since most of the aftermarket ones I have used always have a dead spot that they don't wipe in the passenger side corner.

 

I get mine from Walmart... have not had any problems..

 

I got the Michelin blades from WalMart when I first bought my car, never had any problems. I did have problems with the install though since you can't pop the blades up by the arm perpendicular to the windshield like every other car ever made, unless I'm missin something

 

They are a pain in the ***. It's hard to describe, but i know exactly what you are saying. The end of them is shaped kind of weird.

 

you have to install them with the hood open, via engine bay.
