How can I find great-quality windshield wiper blades?
This is just anecdotal but I’ve had good luck with Trico brand blades and replacements. Buy the unit for each side once then you can buy just blades for like $10 for a pair of the nice Teflon coated. I experience the same situations you do down here in Oregon, wipers simply don’t last as long with tons of rain and road crud being forced on them all winter/spring/summer/fall.
