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.

same as NAPA, at 25.00 each they better be good!!!

I have the TRICO NeoForm Beam Wiper Blades all all my Escalade's and love them, great all weather blades

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. :thepan:

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. :)
