Default Buy the Bosch Micro Edge refills, and put them in your stock wiper frames..

get the 21 inch ones. The fit perfectly, at least on my 96 and 98.5 cars, dunno about the newer cars, if the wiper frames are different..

Default Oh. Are they Bosch frames? If not, just get new Bosch wipers, or whatever you like best..

I like Bosch, but there are quite a few wiper blades that work well..

Default Silblades

Silicone wiper blades kick ***.

Are way better than any natural rubber blade.

Bosch Micro-edge work really well when they are brand new, but their performance degrades rather rapidly. If you park your car outside in the sun at all, they will start to suck in about a month.

Check out the link below<ul><li><a href="http://www.sspinc.com/wipers.cfm">Silicone Wipers</a></li></ul>

Default Lexor refills

You keep your original frames and the long steel supports for the rubber blade, jsut replace the rubber. About $5 for a pair at Wally-Mart.
