    Did not know about the buy-one-get one or the rebate so I'll look into these when my truck needs the blades replaced. I always roll with the Bosch Icon's and they work better/last longer than the Rain-X brand ones (and I've tried nearly every one of them). The Bosch will last two years easily and thats in South Alabama sun and rain. I replace my blades when I either notice the performance dipping, or they look like they are starting to wear.

    Bought a set of the curved ones for my junk. Then I just replace the rubber part when needed... $7 total each time.

    I change them once a year and usually stick to Rain-X.

    I just get a new set of the cheap Anco's every spring. The snow & ice during the winter chews them up, whether I get a $60 set or a $15 set. By spring they're all streaking, even with the Rain-X that gets applied regularly, so they get replaced.

    :thumbsup: Those are the ones I like. Yeah I just stop in and ask the guys which wiper blades has a mail in rebate or a special going on and they are glad to come out from behind the counter to fix me up. You can also check there web site and look at sales ad for the month.

    +2 on the Bosch Icons. Since I started using them they've lasted the whole year with the oppressive Oklahoma heat and frigid cold. Before I found the Icons, I would go through two pair in a year easily.

    Honestly, with that being a 2016 I'd just go find a big ass pothole and drive straight into it at 60 MPH or something.

    +1 PIAA. I'm using the Aero Vogues with replaceable silicon blades. Great performance in the PNW where it rains for 6 months of the year.

    They also look great on the truck.

    It's okay.. it's easy to pick on the new kid in the neighborhood, but we have to remember every month some 2nd gen owner drains his transmission fluid on accident during an oil change.
