Default windshield wipers

Any suggestions for a decent wiper that will fit my CGT? I live in Vancouver Canada which in a rainforest! My wipers streak so they are useless.

Default Bosch has pissed me off since you can't "refill" their blades anymore.

I'm using Trico Exact Fit and they seem to be pretty good. I liked using Bosch since it seemed to be "right" for the car but screw 'em.
Just my $.02.

Default The trico teflons are pretty good, but don't last near as long.

I use MicroEdge Excels, and swear by them. Supposedly PIAAs are better, but I can't really see how that could be possible.

Default I've been using bosch........

They work well on my Audi and they were good on my old VW's, but for some reason they suck on any other cars I've put them on. Must be a German thing I guess.
