one thing ... Bosch Micro-Edge wipers are available at most local auto
parts stores, like Autozone and such, for about half the price! :)
the bosch are good blades, but they do need to be replaced now and
then. ;)

and trick to using anybody's blades:
you can fit a 19-inch blade on the driver's side and get an extra
half-inch of wiping at top and bottom. yeah, it's hardly noticeable
but it makes me feel better. ;) and it doesn't cost any more than an
18-inch. the passenger side seems to hit the windshield gasket when i
tried it on that side. but the driver's side doesn't hit anything.
couldn't get any bigger ones to work on the butt-wiper. :(
