How are your Bonne's wiper blades?

[2000Silverbullet]

The blades on my 00 are 14 years old and work like new!
The blades on the 94 are brand new Reflex.

[RJolly87]

I have to replace them every 2 years at least, but then again I buy bottom shelf units.

[SSEiMan01]

I run Michelin Stealths on my 96. They work well and fit under the cowl of the hood when they park.

[crzydmnd72]

A month old from WalMart. In a hurry and didnt look at brand...probably Anco. Never gotten good life from wiper blades here. They go for months baking in the summer sun with almost no use. Then winter comes...

[00Beast]

Not sure how old the ones on the GXP are. Couple years old Bosch Icons. Still doing alright.

G8's are newer Trico Onyx. Working great.

Actually I'm running the RainX Lattitude blades on the Torrent, 94 SSEi and the Jeep. Been getting 5 years out of a set on the Jeep. The 00' are original that came from the factory..so not sure what they are but darn good!!

Mine were on it when i bought it 2 years ago (who knows how old, they sucked back then too), but then last summer I picked up my ssei parts car and swap over its blades. Don't know how old they are, but they still work good. On another note Ive been through 2 sets on my avalanche this winter, first set froze to the window and I turned on the wipers and they broke free of the ice, but left the rubber stuck to the windshield. but they were cheap anco's, second set are also anco's. but i figure if they will freeze and rip off, might as well buy the cheapest set i can find, for this winter anyways.

I usually replace annually - I like Bosch Icon. It's all due to heavy use and salt in the winter, plus an OCD tendency for a spotless windshield. Maybe I should start giving away my used wipers, I'm sure for most people they'll be good for another 6 months to a year

Has your '00 ever even seen rain, Paul?

[BonnieBoy08]

I have Silblade color blade, had them 13 months and they still work like new, 100% silicone. Gotta wipe the grime off of them once in awhile.

[2000Silverbullet]

Silicone rubber is key to good performance and life.
Lol my OCD does not allow anything to touch the car exterior other than morning dew.
....but when God strikes the wipers come to the rescue streak free.

It's been 7 years since I replaced the SSE's wiper blades. They've hardly seen use in over 5 years. Brand? Beats me.

The G8, at 5.5 years, is on its first replacement set, maybe halfway through the life of stock ACDelco blades.

[MattStrike]

I had put rain-x blades on the LeSabre in 2008. They still work, but one did get a streak in it because where the wiper parks was right on a screw head. I had them on the SSEi for a few months too. Now they sit waiting on the T-type.

[CMNTMXR57]

I replace wiper blades like some people change clothes. Usually I use the neoflex style. Just had to replace both the Suburban (the actual squeegee portion was separating), and then had to replace those on the RGC because due to the cold, the plastic adaptor broke. Such is the case in living in the harsh climate we have here.

On the other hand, the GTO still has the originals... Of course, I've never actually used the wipers on the car, so I don't even know if they work in general.

[SSEiMan01]

I'm pretty sure the DIC would read "Dafuq is this!" If you turned the GTO wipers on, Lane.

Yea, and then shut down and scroll across the DIC "Some sort of error"

[Jfridge92]

For some reason my LeSabre likes to eat wiper blades for lunch. I put a set of Rain-x blades on it in November, and by mid January they were already streaking in multiple spots. For the money and as long as they don't last, it's better for me to just buy the cheapies. I've never had a set last more than 2-3 months without streaking or ripping on me, but then again we do get a ton of rain here.

[J Wikoff]

Who here cleans them with the sponge when washing the car? I do not, and blades seem to last a lot longer for me than what I hear some people say. There was a thread about this on the G8 board a while back. More than one person complained that their blades didn't last very long, despite thorough and frequent cleanings. And more than one responding, myself included, that they never clean theirs and they seem to have good life.

[BonnieBoy08]

I wipe mine off with the wet towel after im done drying my car off. Ozone, dirt, tree sap, road grime etc. seems to build up on them. The rag is black after I wipe them, but after I do the wipe is much cleaner

[nos4blood70]

I have RainX wipers of some kind on Penny. About 2 years old now, still working pretty good.
