Default I really like the Valeo ones. I know others do not, but they are great, IMHO.

A google search has these all over the place.

Jeff, what are the pros and cons of the valeos versus other blades of a similar style?

Default My blades have the "aero" integrated/molded with the same piece that contacts the windshield. The

picture on the Dubstop ones show that the "aero" part is a seperate piece from the wiper/window contact strip. If needed I can post later...

Default I used cheap refills from Advanced Auto on my stock arms...

I think it was less than $10 for both.

Default Thanks, but doesn't help my search. I actually "had to" get the Aero arms. After 4 trips to the

dealer they still couldn't get the washers to NOT spray the wiper arms. The Aero's don't have "arms" so the spray will clear over the blades.

It's not critical yet, but my blades have worn, and I had hoped there would be a somewhat more economical route to get refills. I don't mind paying the $30, but would be happy to pay less (as long as it is 100% compatible...).
