    New Wiper Blades=$$$$$$!

    Bought some 18" Bosch Icon Single Beam Blades at Wally World a couple days ago and mounted them up on the ole Tahoe.

    With tax, these were close to $40 Skins! Holy Moly!

    These are the most expensive Blades I ever threw on a vehicle, but was getting tired of the lesser and bottom of the barrel cheapies starting to shed rubber in less than 6 month's time no matter what I threw on them as a protectant.

    Not sure how these will be, but sure hoping they last somewhat longer, and as well work better! LOL

    Does it rain in New Mexico? Or do you use the wipers to brush the sand off the windshield?

    Just asking...

    LOVE my MICHELIN STEALTH Blades. Also from Wally World. Best blades the Xterra ever had. I'll agree tho. Some of the blade prices are INSANE.

    Just checked my records. $34 for the pair. Installed last October.

    Have you tried silicone wipers? They supposed to last longer and withstand UV better.

    If they're 40 bucks at Wally's, they've gotta be upwards of 60 at your friendly local dealer.

    Probably more of the latter! And the wicked desert sun beating UV on them whenever out and about.

    I buy Anco Contours on Amazon, a pair cost me around $25. I have tried other higher dollar blades over the years, Anco's never let me down. IMO best blade I have ever had!
