I usually get the OEM replacement elements (just the rubber wiper portion) from like GMpartsdirect, or another gm parts website (forget the name). I have to re-use the metal strips, but they never wear out. The OEM wipers wipe clean, and are very quiet, no squeaks at all.

But other than that, I generally just run the ANCOs. Never had an issue with them.

Cheap old Ancos and waxing your windshield says it all. Those rubber coated wipers ARE the pits. How much are the silicone ones?? Sounds like a good idea.

I've been using the Bosch wiper blades. Seem to work good and last 12-18 months. Winter destroys blades. The Rain-X washer fluid is cake. It puts itself on when you spray the windows!

I'm using the silicone wipers they sell at Advanced, and they work great, for a few extra bucks. And the Rain-X orange WW fluid is the shiznit! I rarely have to turn my wipers above intermittent anymore.
