Good TJ wiper blades
What does everyone here use for wiper blades on their TJ? The only one's
I've been able to find in the 13" size are absolute crap. They are rubber,
not silicone. I don't have intermittent wipers and after 20-30mins in a
rainstorm, the wipers leave black rubber stains on my windshield. Thanks

I bought Bosch silicone ones when I was stuck and that was all they
had (they worked well, but for HUGE $), but they're a rip off to my
mind. Use some Rain-X with rubber ones and for my money they work
better. Plus, with the Rain-X, even snow and heavy slush slide off
pretty well without using the wipers.

If you poke around in the J.C Whitney catalog, you should be able to
find the short 12 and 13 inch blade assemblies available in several
colors of silicon. Can't recall if they are in the Jeep specialty
catalog or not. They don't appear to build up the oxidized layer
as rapidly as the rubber style...at least not on the three year old
set I've installed...although I've discovered that wiping them with
Comet [or similar] cleanser powder appears to be useful for removing
the crud that can still build up from the luvverly and colorful air
around California.

Re: Good TJ wiper blades
I use Anco AeroVantage wiper blades. Part #91-13. They work well for me.
