+ 1 BOSCH for sure....bracketless, nice clean design, super clean wipes. A little pricey for wipers but it is worth it...as you know 2 different sizes so one costs like 19USD and the other one is like 20USD...but they work and look great!

Bracketless is the way to go. When I windex the winshield I also wet a rag and run it along the rubber on the wiper. This gets rid of the stuff that builds up on the wiper when it's not in use. Really helps to eliminate streaks. Jack

The Michelin ones from Costco seem to work just fine for $12.

++1 on the Bosch Icons. I have used them exclusively and they work great. I made sure the dealer did not change them out when the car was in for scheduled service.

Hello emory 65038, The Michelin Brand from Walmart works for me on all my vehicles except my Ford Speedster(no windshield) and my Jag 420(must be sourced from SNG Barratt, Moss, etc.). I have just installed this brand on my newly acquired X-Type. Today I drove the X about 50 miles in sleeting rain. The wipers were quiet and did their job well. Does this endorsement qualify me as a Walmartian? Cheers, Andy
