Crappy ass wiper blades!

[BlkBird]

Anyone elses wiper blades only last 6 months? I know its not a major deal or anything but 6 friggin months!! C'mon! The part that pisses me off is they are different part#s for the left and for the right and I cant find a parts store that has both in stock at the same time! How stupid is that?!

BlkBrd:

Different part #'s for each side? What vehicle are ya talkin about? The D? I still got the stock blades on #3. Hmm. I usually go with the Annco Winter Blades. On my last D, they were the same for both sides. Hmmm. Gots ta look into this. BTW, my blades are still workin good, but then again, I just turned 2500 miles on #3, and I've had it since July.

The stock blades suck and how long they last is usually determined by how much exposure you give them to the elements. If your truck is parked outside most of the time, they usually wear out quicker, especially in summer when exposed to lots of UV.

You want good blades, then look into Sillblades. Guaranteed for 5 years:

Run you about $13 per side and that's for a complete wiper, not just the blade refill. I bought 2 sets for both my Durango and Dak recently.

Good luck.

mine didn't last that long either. I went with Annco refills also. Next time plan on upgrading the whole blade
