I used to buy ANCO brand blades and change then every 2 years. Their quality dropped to the point where I was buying a set annually so I switched brands.
The Bosch "Micro Edge" blades I bought in September (at a higher price than the ANCO's) have failed in less than 3 months! Both blades leave portions of the windshield un-swiped in the center of the viewing area. Far from safe in winter driving. Yes, I checked to be sure there was no residual ice frozen to the blade preventing its proper action.
I expect that I will now be ordering a set of Saab OEM replacements as the ones that came with my car lasted nearly 4 years, but is there another quality choice?
Thanks,
