Hey Guys,
Whats the best Windshield Wiper blade replacement you guys have found for the x1100c?
I have tried 2 diff ones from Orielys . a $22 bosh that did not press enough in the center of the blade to clean water from the windshield ,
And another $14 one that looked like the one that was on it,. but cheapo does not do a good job as the old dried out one that was on it.
I did not find any actual BLADE only slide ins at Oreilys , Guy said blade only are a thing of the past............
 
surely, and prob wouldnt cost any more than I have spent.. Was in hopes someone has located a replacement that works Very Well.. Some time try and save a few bucks and wind up spending more in the long run.

Trico was always the most popular brand around here. That's all I ever used on my big rigs.

I have bought those Bosch Icon's. Had a heart attack first time I got them and parts guy said "that will be $45.00"

Most real Rubber comes from the Far East…so it makes sense that wipers, gaskets, tires, etc are popular production items from that area…. plus WE are BAD about paying our fellow citizens decent wages when we can pay foreign producers peanuts.
Buy local. It’s good for both of us.

I’ll say this: I bought some silicone blades one time…used them a week and threw them into the trash. In light-rain…they smeared oily-residue from the blades and made for poor visibility. It didn’t disappear with time…they continued to exude oily-residue. They were Bosch.

The cheap WalMart blades do a good job and are cheap enough to replace annually when I replace my windshield license-sticker. ;)
