Wiper Blade Surprise
My wiper blades were showing their age during a few rain showers.Yes, I drive my Corvette in the rain.
I looked at them and they were RainX replacements. I checked around a replacements ran from $9 for junk blades to $29 for premium brand and that's each. I checked my Corvette parts guy and OEM ones for.$8.57 each.

bleh wiper blades are wiper blades. I see no point in buying $20+ blades at all. The $9 anco blades off amazon work just as well. They all last the same amount of time.

living in Florida as my daily, tried to cheap out, that was a mistake...
the blades were weak and the arm spring pushed down hard enough to make gaps...
went with the Bosch icon blades, night and day difference...
of course the sun heat and rain down here are brutal...
