47-600 blades

[jay1028]

I have used up my stash of these blades. All I can find now is that they are $10 a pair by mail and that is the cheapest if I buy 6 pair at a time. They go as high as $16. I was paying $6 a pair when they were available locally. Anyone still using these narrow blade refills? For $10, I might as well buy the entire wiper for $10 a pair at walmart and have to use the wider wipers.

right now, $6.99 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CB6ADS/ref=ox_huc_add_on_msg_title_1?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Same price at my local Advance Auto, but would be cheaper with a coupon code.

I've been using these Bosch blades for years now. I honestly think these are the best blades I've ever bought and they last for up to 2 years before they start even making noise. I give them 5 out of 5 stars. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Hmm, I just noticed Autozone has free ground shipping till May 19th, no minimum order. Figures... there's one a mile up the road from me.

I can't remember what brand it was but just for an experiment on the Focus, I bought the $4.95 blade and the $16 blade. Installed both the same time. Both began streaking within a month of each other, usually at six months. I just can't buy into the expensive blades. Maybe it's where I live.

^ Where you live definitely makes a difference. Mine is parked in the landing path of a busy airport. Jet exhaust coats everything including my windshield and wiper blades. I try to make it a point to scrub my windshield with blue ("non-scratch" type not industrial type, and never green or brown which can scratch glass) scotch brite pads when I wash the vehicle, as well as the wipers then spray them with dry silicone and wipe off the excess.

I've had the rainx blades about $18 each on everything since they came out and they are worth every dollar , heavy rain, snow , bird crap , mud , nothing better , and they last years !

I use silicone blades, no idea how much they cost me but they last for ages.
