Which wipers do you guys use? I just replaced the wipers (with factory) on my wife's Volvo V70 and realized that the old set (factory) had lasted almost a year!!

I just bought a set of Anco's (Autozone) and I got the rebate for them after they need to be replaced (2 months). My only consolation is that they were essentially free (with rebate).

Are the factory Infiniti wipers better?

Dan,How long do they last? Do you think they're worth it?

I do think they're worth it. They're not too much. Installation is easy since they're OEM and I've never had a problem. I've had aftermarket ones give me trouble. The ones I have on my Q now have lasted about 2 years and still work great. The ones on my QX4 last about 1-2 years. That car is driven more.

I ordered the silblades and installed them tonight. they claim they last for 5 years which is hard to believe but they have to last longer than the 4 months I got out my cheapo blades.

That's the same ones I use, they have a couple different "models", I look for the "best" ones on clearance at Target ... they had them marked down to ~$7 this week, but my Target didn't have the right size for a G50. Picked up some for the M30 though.
