It was slightly raining today and I’ve had my car over 3 years without changing the windshield wiper blades. Instead of clearing the water from the windshield, the wiping process just leaves smears all over the windshield. It’s extremely aggravating because it’s hard to see clearly.
Today I finally said enough is enough and purchased them online. I typed this and it brought up this.
You can see I clicked on the first site and bought the wipers. They totaled $50 dollars with $8 shipping. The ones in Google Shopping say $4.69 & $7.95 dollars. I didn’t care about saving money. These wiper blades are worth about $200 dollars to me. When you actually need a product, money does not matter. Plus I don’t want cheap wiper blades. I want the official wiper blades for my car. Some people may disagree with this but the time I would have to spend to save a few extra dollars is not worth it.
I’ve tried 3 or 4 different brands that Wal-Mart offers. I’ve settled on the Rain-X ones. It’s not too easy to tell when I keep them for almost a year before changing them, but they do a fine job, and I believe the Bosch (which I think was the other more expensive one offered by Wal-Mart alongside Rain-X) ones I tried weren’t quite as good.
Something tells me Bud is a little more cost-conscious than you when it comes to wipers.
Which is funny because he buys 3x as often.
I’m curious what brand you got, and how you like them. It looks like you used tirerack. I just searched there, and for my car, it only comes out to about $25 for the 2 recommended blades. That’s similar to what I pay at Wal-Mart. It is a brand not offered at Wal-Mart though. So, if it offered you the same brand as it did me, and you like them, I would consider taking this route next time.
I typically replace mine once a year. I usually go to Pep Boys or AutoZone, and they often run sales when you buy two. I also like the Rain-x ones.
