"OEM" replacement blades-only from ECS for $5 - no complaints at all

OEM work fine if you do one thing - wipe them clean with a wet towel everytime you...
fill up with gas to remove the dirt/crap that accumulates during the week. If you do that (as I have done) they'll last about a year. If not, the dirt/crap nicks the rubber blade and causes streaking.

are you talking about replacing just the rubber or the rubber+metal portions?
also, from a link to ECS above, are the OEM really Bosch? cuz if so, i can pick up locally at a auto parts store...

i believe OEM are bosch. could be wrong. agree with using stock arms & replace inserts.
especially cuz i get mine for free under warranty.
just say they are streaking everytime you go in.
or you can shell out $$ for the B6 slick ones. they are supposed to be the bomb except in winter.
