Windshield Wiper Blades

Can anyone reccommend a replacement. Bought new blades and realized the driver side has that nice wind deflector attached. So I'm assuming they want you to re-use that and just insert a new rubber blade.

Any suggestions?

You don't need the deflector thingy.

I'm using SilBlades which are made from 100% silicone and have a 5 year warranty. They honor their warrantee too, as they replaced mine after 2 years when the finish started flaking off.

They have a new design that looks very interesting. ..

Oops. Forgot about that! When I was at the dealer awhile back, I did ask initially if it was covered, the first SA wanted to charge me for the wiper replacement, but another SA came to my rescue and took care of it.
