It seems the good blades don;t have refills, they make you buy the entire blade,

I use Tripledge wipers from Walmart. They're 100% silicone, and the set on the Z now, has lasted for 23 months, and counting. Still work as new...

Driving to the office this morning in pretty heavy rain which is rare for SoCal and noticed that one of my wipers is starting to shred. Did a little search and came across the Bosch Icon blades everyone is talking about. They are a bit pricey for wiper blades but I think Ill do my part to stimulate the economy and pick up a set at Auto Zone tonight on the way home. Thanks for all the info.

Cheapos. I don't have windshield wiper fluid, so I just need it for rain.

I tried Bosch once and I will never go back. They last forever and that's saying something in Fl!

I still have these, used them today and they still work great, no streaks
