Wiper Blade Recommendations
I know that this may seem like a rather simple, stupid question but being a new Vette (2005) owner, I of course want the best for my pride and joy. Anybody have a recommendation for what you feel is the best blades for the Vette. Bosch seems to get very positive reviews on the Internet. Thanks!

I got a set from my dealer a few months ago. Cost is reasonable ... about $12 each. And you get the one for the driver's side that has the little wing to hold it flat against the windshield.
I've tried all brands and types, but the type I like best is the one-piece appearing ones like RainX Latitude. Bosh and Michelin make a similar blade and they really work great and last a long time. Cost is $15-$20 each at Wal Mart (depending on brand).
I would have gotten this type for my car, but was at the dealer and he pointed out that I needed new ones so I went ahead and got them there. Hard to believe, but they charged $2.50 each to install them. Takes about 10 seconds. Normally putting them on is free anywhere else, kinda like installing a battery.

here it does rain occasionally in the "winter" time but that's it.
I got the bosch icons, worked excellent but I did not like the look, too bulky where they attach to the wiper arm.
bought a oem set of ebay for less than $20 shipped, imo look better, drivers side has the wind guide, color matches the arm, work just fine, like I said, just my opinion. ( 10306887 , 10306888 )
the oem rubber inserts only were available too but for about $15 shipped didn't make sense to me.
