those must be the same ones I bought. we tried for at least an hour to make those blades work. I have no idea what car they would work on-I think every car I've ever owned used the J-hook.

(If anyone has ever installed the E blade on their NB, please show me how it's done.)
So, installed a cheapy set of Michelins over weekend. Supposed to rain for next 3 days so we'll see how they do.

Ok, these cheapy Michelins are cheap. I do not like them. The higher dollar ones might be better, but these were the ones marked as a "CR Best Buy." Maybe for a vehicle with less curves-?
Just my 2cents.

I swear by PIAA wipers...they are expensive but well worth it...about 50$ for a set of two 21' ones but I had them on my old car and actually moved them to another car and have been using them for almost 2 years now and they are still like new! and they say replace your wipers every few months. nah! About to order a set for my beetle...after winter that is!

Where do you get them? No Autoparts store around here carries PIA wipers.
