I have used Bosch blades/wiper refills in all of my Saab's. I figured it's what Saab put on, so why not stay with them. I noticed that every other person's car I have ever been in would always have better wiping capabilities than any of my Saab's, no matter how old those wiper blades were in the other person's car. This also includes my wife's autos that would go years without ever replacing the refills (she's still on the 4-yr old originals in her Rendezvous).

I purchased TriplEdge Premium Silicone wiper blades made by Jamark at Walmart for $6.50 each. They come with a lifetime warranty (which is odd since you have to send the old blades back, so what do you use in the interim???--save the old blades for that purpose). I did this over 3 months ago, and the difference is like night and day. These blades never streak, never chatter, and always flip back and forth while riding over the windshield glass. The Bosch, even when new, would leave streaks, and would only flip back and forth for the first few weeks of use, then would stay on one side while dragging across the glass one way, then pushing against it the other way (if you understand what I'm describing).

My advice is to get rid of the Bosch and try another brand. I have never had luck with them, even though I've used them for so long. For the price of the Bosch, they should last a lifetime! I'm glad I made the switch...
