I put the RainX silicone on mine when I changed them last. They have a natural curve to the blade, which helps keep it on the windshield at high speeds... I think I paid about $23 each for them.

Consider the Bosch Icons. Best windshield wipers I've ever used.

Thanks guys I think I'll try the Bosch Icons, I also use Rain X liquid on my windshields too. I think it helps alot the rain just fly off the windows and for night driving I really like the how clear it is to see. Thx Caddyman Dan
