Talk about sticker shock. I walked into an auto zone today to buy windshield wipers for the truck. I'm thinking 10-15 dollars for the set yea right almost 40 Fu@king dollars for the pair. Talk about a rip off...

This is just like buying razor blades for shaving pisses me off every time I buy the Mach 3 blades another rip off...

[Oh-yaa]

Just use the old style straight edge single blades. They last longer, do a better job, and a years supply is less than one purchase of those Mach 3 blades. I used to use those until I got a new single blade setup.

I'm with the OP on Mach3 blades. The only razor I've ever used that didn't cut me up.

Bic disposable razors FTW

Bic disposable razors FTW

Every time I use the plastic disposable blades I'm bleeding all over the place. Plus the grip feel is not satisfactory to my tactile senses...:D

Last time I was at the Acura dealer getting my "free" oil change (which always seems to cost $200 or so by the time I leave) they asked if I wanted them to change my wiper blades. Actually yes, because they had just started to chatter a bit. As I was eating lunch waiting for my car to get done, it dawned on my that they probably charge $500 for new wiper blades or some such shit.

I was pleasantly surprised that they were *only* about $50 for the three blades. That's "Acura Cheap!" (tm)

I picked up a set of wipers for about 12$ for my truck at wally world a couple of months ago. Just normal blades, no trick ones, but they work great. :confused5:

I copped a BOGO free special at O'Reilly Auto Parts on some Bosch blade wipers for my wife's minivan. I think I paid $16.50 for the pair. Normally, they're more than $30.

I'm with the OP here.
Bought a set of Beam blades (Bosch) at AZ for the family truckster. $22.00/ea.
WTF?
But, they were 50% off, so $22.00/set.
Told the dude I wanted the back window shorty (13" I think), but I ain't paying $11.00 for that thing.
Dude gave me a deal on the AZ branded cheapo straight bladr priced at $7.99, and knocked of 50%.
So, $26.00 for 3.
3 years ago, Rain-X beams were close to half that price ($15/set).
Again, WTF?

Getting old sucks.

Rain X wipers suck and I will never put them on ANY of my vehicles even if they were given to me.

Their snap on design ( wiper to blade attachment ) fails at the most inopportune time :cuss: :mad:

I spent close to $50 for three new wipers before our trip to Ontario Canada one year. It started raining on the way home ( I was towing our 24' pontoon boat ) and the driver's side wiper blade came off the wiper attachment, in heavy traffic during a downpour in Syracuse NY. ( Rt 81S )

I had to drive for a couple miles until I had a relatively safe spot to pull over to swap wiper blades from the passenger side. I put a tie wrap around the defective wiper.


I emailed Rain X to tell them about what happened. Included date of purchase from two weeks earlier, where purchased plus name , address, email and phone number. NO reply at all.

I went back to where I purchased them and they replaced all three free of charge. They even installed them.

Next rain the back wiper blade fell off :kick:

I will NEVER put Rain X wipers on any vehicles or recommend them to anyone.

I use the disposable with C. O. Bigelow shaving cream. Never have an issue.

I did their best blade... I'm a big fan of Mach 3s as well. Took about a month for my skin to get used to the dollar shave razor but they are good now. $10 a month 5 blades ans a free solid feeling handle. I recommend people try their free offer...
