What is the best choice for replacement wipers? Also, are both the same size? I don't want to get the crappy ones which won't even last one season.

My Corvette ones never get used, but on by pickup, Acura and LS, I only use Bosch.

I found the best way to keep the wipers working well is to replace every winter! Helps to clean them too with alcohol, just dampen a cloth and wipe the edge.

Does a Corvette even have wipers? Oh . . . They must be the things that look out of place at the bottom of the windshield.

I use the PIAA super silicon blades. I purchased them from the Tire Rack. They seem to be the best I have had.
