Hmmm, generic wally/zone wiperblades = $2.99 every 6 months = $17.94 for 3
years. Even if I go with ANCO's at $4.99 every 6 months = $29.94 for 3
years. I doubt after 2 years *any* wiper is still working as well as my
Brand new ones. Oh, and I am not real regular about my changes, my last
set was on there since December...
