Default Wiper blades

My wiper blades are worn out. Any recommedation of a good brand because the factory ones are crap, less then 1.5 years and is broken. I didn't like how the OEM wiped.

you really should change your wipers every 6 months.

I bought some Bosch...they are $$$ but so good! I love that they don't streak at all, touch the glass without gaps, and make no noise. My OEM ones ripped up and my Z has only 33,5++ miles on it!

The Z takes two different sizes... http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...004&PageSync=3

I can't believe some of you are complaining that the wiper blades only lasted 1½ years or 33K miles. They aren't permanent, they are "consumables" like brake pads, oil, etc. They're intended to be replaced regularly, especially if you don't do anything to them.

If you treat them with something like 303 Aerospace protectant, they will not dry out as quickly and will last a lot longer. Mine will be two years old in two weeks and I still have the original set on. They still wipe as good as they did when new. In fact, I can still wipe the blades with a cloth and NOT get a lot of black residue come off.

Whatever you do do not get colored ones. I was standing at a Z show talking to this guy about his Z and he had royal blue wipers. I almost excused myself to go puke behind the building.

bosch icons are the newest blades on the market. they are bracketless and look very clean. they are expensive but i think they are worth it, based on what i have read. autozone has them w/ a special where you get a $15 back as a gift card. so it will be like 20+20-15=$25
