Default $15.00 wipers?!?!?!?

WTH happened to $5.00 refills? After 4 years my oem wipers finally gave out so I took a ride over to Advance Auto for some refill's. Much to my chagrin, there's no such thing for our trucks, you have to buy the entire blade so ok I get it, disposable everything else might as well apply to these little squeegees.

But good lawd the prices are insane! Then again I remember paying $3 for a Big Mac meal.

I guess since I've been driving that's been about average.. I remember when the Rain-X Latitude blades came out and they were like $20 per side. even if you replace them twice a year like I do that's only $80 a year which isn't much in the big picture. but I prefer the Bosch Icon over the Latitude anyway, and they're about $16 each.

Walmart here in Texas has Latitudes and Icons for $19 each.

Autozone/Advance are always more expensive.

I just buy the Walmart Super Tech replacement blades every year or so and roll on. I think they are about 4 bucks each.

$19.95 for both Ford OEM Blades at my local Stealership, bring your own oil and filter it is $7 for an oil change also.
