I use Bosch from FastLane they will last twice as long as Anco here in the rainy North West we use our wipers a lot..............

I've used Anco's for the last few months, and they work well, but I don't know how long they will last.

I'm using a anco, I had $10 and didn't think a wiper would cost more than that, but $22 for bosch at auto zone and $13 for Anco, went to wal-fart and got a Anco for $2.98 Only problem is the connector, no stinkin "kwikconnect" on the W124's arm.

I use Bosch on several of the 300D we run, you really have to look hard to find the inserts these days for some reason. Kragen said they no longer special order Bosch inserts.
WTH, I won't be using Bosch since I recently discovered SilBlades. Silblades are made from high quality silicone rubber with Teflon based compound that promises to last years, not months. Check back here in 2005 for my final analysis, but in the mean time I like the purple rubber blades I ordered (they come in dozens of colors woo hooo!) and they DON'T STREAK!

anco work alright for about 4 months, then they start to leave streaks, which drives me nuts. ive had my bosch regular (they have a premium one too) for a year and it still works great.

I use Bosch MicroEdge, Autozone should be able to order the inserts in if they don't stock them. They list the inserts on their site but don't generally carry them in the stores.
