If there's one thing that really urks me about todays cars, it's the lack of technology for the windshield wipers. Changing those blades about every six months to stop the smearing and jumping is a real pain. And to make it worse, they're not so simple to change with all the little clips and adapters. Well, until they come up with a better system, I found a solution. They are called Tripledge blades. They are made from silicone rubber and last great! I've had the same pair on for over two years now and they work like brand new. I think they might last the life of the car. Once and a while some company uses their head and greatly improve on an existing idea. These folks have done that... http://www.tripledge.com
