Ok, so why am I blogging about getting new windshield wipers? I’ve always used the ANCO brand wiper blades and replacements. I’ve never really been satisfied with them and they eventually start making noise and always smear and miss spots. I thought it was normal for wipers to do that until yesterday. After work I decided to swing by the local Autozone to check out their selection. I went in there actually looking for the triple blade wipers, but they didn’t carry those. The guy I spoke to recommended I try the Bosch blades that were about 2.5x more costly than the ANCO brand. I figured I’d try it and see what happened. So $40 later I was installing them on my car in the parking lot as it was raining. After I got them installed, I flipped them on and I was amazed. There was no noise, no streaking, no missed spots. Well worth the money, too bad I didn’t have them back in March. I guess they are the higher end wipers that Bosch makes, they’re in the Icon series of blades:
