windshield wipers..
with spring here, i see i need new wiper blades.. i haven't had much luck finding any that work well w/ the curvature of the windshield (especially on passenger side), and they don't seem to work well past a few months.. i've tried bosch in the past, have the rain-x wiper blades now.. anyone have recommendation on which ones works well?

Teflon.. I can't remember whom makes them but Advance carries them. Just ask for the teflon blades..
They are a little more pricey depending on your means, but well worth it.
I've had them for a couple of years and they still wipe the entire area they're supposed too..
Had the same issue before them as you..
Stupid things seemed no matter what they would skip wipe..
As a last ditch effort I tried the Teflone.
Perfect!

I kinda like those RainX beam style ones. I have something similar on my car but I can't remember the exact brand name....

If its not totally wiping parts of the windshield, check the bracket at the end of the transmission where the wiper arm bolts onto, they have been know to crack in the past. If its cracked , it wont put down enough pressure for good wiping.

Bosch all the way iv had them on our plow truck for 2 years now and i have them on my camaro .... my whole girl friends family also has them on their vehicles and not a single issue... i will never get the over rated RAIN-X blades again they are JUNK!!! if the beam blades streak just clean them off and that should fix your problem!!!!

Can't say this isn't true. I've only had my TA for 8 months now, the last 4 of which it's been garaged (taking it out the 13th!) but, the first blades I bought at Advance were Bosch Icons. Little pricey as expected but, they contour perfectly to the windshield and work very well.
