I've tried them all: Anco, Bosch, Trico, Silblade, & the whisker lickin blade with multiple edges (Rain-X?) - all junk in my book.
I was working with one of my reps in SLC a few months ago & one of the companies he reps is Michelin - he sent me a couple pair of the Stealth XT Hybrids - he raved about them. They are BY FAR the BEST wiper blades I've ever used. They are silent & wipe perfectly every time. I bought a set for the wife's Edge & she loves them too.
Only place I've found them is at Wal Mart. Go get you a set - they are very reasonably priced too. Rock Auto needs to start carrying these.

Hey, if you come out to SLC, give me a shout. I would take you to lunch or dinner and a beer.

Thanks for the hot tip. I hear you on you assessment of over the counter blades. As it turns out, "The Sunshine State" get a ton of rain so good, economical blades is something I've been on the hunt for without success. My truck happens to be due for a set, and it was on my agenda to begin the search for blade inserts. I'll give these a shot. Let us know what you think!! I've had these on my 300 for about 2 months now & they have been flawless. Florida will be a good test for them.

I have found the Trico Classics working amazing on my Charger. Shame not anymore available on 16" ( thankfully bought several replacement blades )

Will these fit below the hood on an E body? Only the Trico exact fit line and goodmark repops fit properly of the one's I've tried. Unfortunately, they don't work very well. I've tried several brands, even tried modifying them, but everything I've tried sits too high and hits the edge of the hood.
Good question - I don't know. Plus the mounting on our older stuff is all different. They are not expensive so you could give them a try. These look different than old blade style too.

I'll try them out.
I've been buying Mopar blades as replacement on my Charger and they seem as good as any. Haven't tried the Michelin.
