or just turn the car off when the wipers are fully extended.

PIAA Super Silicone blades for me.

 

Ditto on both suggestions.

 

No you don't.

 

Where's oldskewel when you need him...
As for wipers, I use Michelins, and they are great. I tried Goodyears once and they sucked, never again.

 

The base Michelin blades sold at Costco and Walmart last on the Corolla about 8-10 months. I picked up some of the Walmart Supertech that were about $.70 less. Both come from Vietnam. I have little expectation other than I would like them to last through the limited CA rainy season. The car sits out on the driveway so wiper blades seldom last more than a year including the Toyata inserts.

Been meaning to try those Piaa's. I bought a supply of the Toyota inserts and those last me a good spell. The car is in the garage so that helps lots.
