    well, I have bosch on mine, but i don't know the model. I just know it was the cheaper/cheapest bosch ones from autozone.

    I had duralast before these, they were crap.

    I use the standard Rain-X ones on both cars. I've seen too many of the Icon/Latitude style not hold the contour of windshields good enough on the ends of windshields on a lot of cars. The old standard kind seem to countour to windshields better.

    My experience is that here in Florida I have to replace them every year anyway, regardless of what make and price, so I just get cheap ones from Walmart. Sometimes Rain-X, Michelins most of the time.
    The sun is breaking it down more than using it in the rain.

    Agreed, I spent the money on the Latitudes and am not impressed. Uneven wipes and streaks, they are only 1 yr old. I'll be replacing them next weekend.

    A local Toyota dealer here in AZ had a sale on the rubber refills.
    Pretty easy and like $5.00 to do them.

    Mine will do that but only at the top end of the passenger side wiper and at the bottom of the wipe stroke, as soon as it moves up a good 4-5 inches it contours and wipes like it is supposed to so it doesn't bother me too much. I believe that it is only because I switched the ones off of my S10 with the one's on the Tacoma they are an inch longer but work fine.

    I use the bosh ion they last 3-4 years. That is parking outside 100% of the time in the heat. The factory ones lasted 4 months.
