I am just wondering how long your original wiper blades have lasted. My car was built in Apr. 06 with 27,700 miles and the originals still wipe clean.

 

I think there may be some factors that may play into this. Is your car garaged or does it set outside? Mine still work fine but this winter I may change them out for better ones.

 

The Beautiful one is garaged at night (soon to be evicted/replaced) but generally in the hot sun and elements during the day.
17,000mi. and no streaking or missed spots.

 

2 years and 23K since build date, not one day not sitting out in the hot Florida sun, still wipes as clean as day one!!

 

No idea. I have this weird habit of removing the OEM wipers very quickly and replace them with winter blades or aero summer blades (depending on the season).

When I send a vehicle back from leasing it, I put the OEM blades on it

 

4,700 miles and still working great!!! LOL

 

Nearly 20 months, 41,000 miles and still have the original blades on, and they still work great. I do wipe the blades off every now and then with rubbing alcohol to get the road grime off, but that's about it.

 

^^^^^^ ^^^^^^

 

Nearly 2 years and about 10,000 mi. no problems yet. Full time out in the weather.

 

One year and 28,000 miles ...they still work like new...
