Windshield wipers...

I think speed may have something to do with it. Rain at a slow speed will be minimal, but even a small amount of rain at high speeds will decrease visibility through the windshield.

If it is time for replacements, instead of paying the $70 set from the stealership you should look into just swapping out the rubber blade on them. Malibu wiper blades can be dismantled and you purchase the rubber blade (IIRC its a 21 inch) for about $6 each at a Napa auto parts. It will take some patience and may be a PITA but will save you lots of $$$.

Lucky you! When I said $70 for wipers, I was referring to OEM replacements from GM. When it came time to get some for my car I couldn't find anything aftermarket, so the parts department said they were too new and had to be special order and $35 each.

Hey Roz1234.........the $12 I spent sure beats your $25.

I replaced our OEM wipers after about 3 months. They were pitiful from day one. Went with Rain X latitude wipers and havent had a problem in almost 20k miles with them. Far better than the Bosch "wipers". lol

I just bought a set of the new style AC Delcos from Rock Auto, they were way less then the dealer, but still not cheap. About $60. But they work great. The new style ones are easier to spot due to the plastic covers for air deflection over part of them.

Not necessarily, you could get the same if not better performance from an aftermarket brand. Just make sure that it is shaped to deflect wind.
