    Rarely rains out here in Arizona, but the other day when washing the wife's Forester the blade ripped apart, dry-rot I guess.
    Gonna replace it this weekend I guess.

    Honestly, I bought into the silicone piaa's, but it just doesn't rain enough here. Inserts seem to make more sense haha.

    I found the factory blades to be the best but was not aware of the refills. I have swapped out several different sets because I find different issues with them...
    the Costco Michelin blades made a loud clicking noise.
    The Reflex Platinum's streaked.
    The Rain X would drag water from the left side of the windshield back into my line of vision.

    I have Bosch Icon's now but I should really go buy a new set of factory wipers and but the new found knowledge of refills to work.

    It rains a lot here, so wipers are important.

    Yup I've been using these for couple years now . I get a good 6+ months out of each refill . Super cheap to me and does its job

    Bosch Icons here too. I also wasn't aware that the stock Wipers could be re-used. Oh well. Everything else I own uses Bosch Wipers so at least my Taco isn't the odd-man out LOL!

    OEM for me … just replaced them 3 weeks ago. I bought both the full wiper replacement and a set of just the rubber blades (which are now my backup set.

    Could you tell where you bought them from? I'm being quoted $33 for both inserts at the dealership.
