Wiper Arms/Blades

Has anyone swapped out the stock wiper arms and blades for anything newer? If so what did you use and how is the performance over the stock set up?

Thanks,

Bossrod

I've seen a few aftermarket wipers and arm setups, nothing looks as good as stock. I cant comment on their performance, I know my stockers work prety good with fresh rubber.

Re: Wiper Arms/Blades

I put anco replacement arms & blades from O'reilly's on mine and they clip in fine. Only general comment I will make is that the rubber they use these days must really suck because these just don't last anymore.

I liked the stainless arms much better in terms of looks but the new black ones will do just fine for me.
