Wipers '08-EXT

I was wondering what are the best replacement wiper blades for 08-Ext ?...other than getting them at dealer.

Does anyone know who makes the OE blades that seem to be very good and have lasted 2 years.

My OE blades on mine were complete crap and were making noises and chatter from the start. I went to AutoZone and grabbed the best Bosch blades I could find, they work great. I can't remember the exact model of them, but they were almost $25 a blade.

My OEMs have worked fine. Funny about the timing of this thread. Spent more time than I wanted this weekend trying to locate a replacement blade for the rear wiper. Tough to find a 12" blade with the wacky design of the rear blade. Finally got one (a Trico) for 12 bucks an Autoparts store after trying Wal-Mart, Target, etc.

Slight tangent - has anyone swapped the standard blade for winter blades during snow season ?
My stock blades froze up everytime it snowed, so I'm thinking of swappng them out this year if it will make a difference.

I used to but with these new Trico's I no longer had to, see my earlier post, I am in snow 4-5 months.
