Wipers ?
I know some of you don't use them but I do. I wiper blades need replacing. We finally got rain today 
and my wipers make a noise that would wake the dead. Also skipping some. Are there any that are better than others as far as vettes go?

I'm getting old, so don't remember. What is the usual WallyWorld/KMart wipers with the yellow and black package? These were terrible on wife's Cadillac. Squealed from the first use. Also don't remember the replacements I bought, but I know I spent more and they are fine.

Like most here...hardly drive my Vert in the rain. But the wipers do rot out from the sun. I got a set of "teflon" inserts from Napa, cut them to fit and inserted them into the factory blades.

Geeezzzzz... appears no one has anything but smart-azzz answers for this guy asking for legitimate help. So no one has any experience with a good replacement for wiper blades? wow.

I think I answered his question....Teflon inserts worked for me and they were a snap to change.

just by the stock wipers inserts from gm.they are inexpensive and fit
right on the wiper arm and work just fine. should last about a year.
