just go to your local parts store and they have what you need. The will range in price pretty big.......from like 10 to 30 or 40 bucks. Hell they will put them on for your too. I just put some on the Navigator, they were about 20 each, I think they are Bosch or something like that

You can take some sandpaper to yours. That kinda brings them back. Just enough til you can buy new ones.

Heard it on the PowerBlock on Spike. It was 1 of Courtney Hanson's tips in her book, I think. Stupid crap I can remember, I forget to eat.

I have bosch on mine right now, easy to replace. Only bad thing is the passenger one is effed and it's only a year old! I also need new sprayer things, mine are plugged so bad the passenger one doesn't even squirt!

go to pepboys/advance etc and tell them what you have and they will sell them to you and install for free if you can't figure it out but its just a hook and pull setup......you can do it!

You have 20's i work at a parts store. they will put them on for you but they are easy. There is a little clip on the bottom where it hooks into the blade. push it in and pull down on the blade. Some blades have little tabs that hook over the top of the hook on the arm. and you can figure that one out. Any brand is fine just buy some in the 8 dollar a piece range. as for your wiper only lasting a year. your suppose to replace them ever 3months by the book, a year is a good life for a blade. if you keep it in a garage and out of ice and such mine lasted 2 years.
you said you dont need anything expensive, but wiper blades are probably one of the few things that you would be a fool to go cheap on.
get the Bosch Icon blades, they're about $20/per side, but they will last about 5 or 6 TIMES as long as a traditional blade. this is the second car ive had em on, and this car has had em for about 5 or 6 months and they still work like new. i had the cheapo Trico blades before these, and they maybe lasted all of a month before they were streaking and were in danger of gouging my windshield.
im not one to spend more money on something than need be, but these blades will pay for themselves in about 3 months.

I get rain x ones on all my rides. Great blades and not to expensive.
Had Latitudes on my DD Sentra for about 3 months, the car was in the shop for 7 months, and up until December, they still worked great, never streaked. I came out one morning with ice on my windshield, thinking it was water droplets (looked the same), hit the wipers and it tore the rubber off when the arms went up though. Car is currently sporting the regular Rain-X brand wipers, which suck ass.5.Woahhh said:
I've had good luck with Michelin brand wipers as well.
