I have never been able to duplicate the efficiency of the original wiper blades that came when the car was new. Even OEM from the dealer didn't duplicate the originals. I figure that the original's wear around the dings and pot marks on the windshield and that the new one gets cut and never can duplicate the wearing in as the windshield wears. So when replacing windshield wiper blades you need to also replace the windshield with it.

In fact, just replace the windshield, you'll be good to go.

Do Corvette's have wiper blades? 
Seriously, I'm at 51,000 with my original blades so I'll let you know when the time comes.

What are wiper blades?
Seriously - I prefer the Bosch Micro-Edge blades, and use them on all my vehicles. But the reality is here in Aridzona...the blades melt to the glass and rip way before they ever wear out!
