I know that wiper blades are a commodity; pretty much universal and brand doesn't matter. However the Blue Car and I have just moved from Houston (47 inches of rain a year(normally) that comes in buckets to the Seattle area (that gets less rain than Houston but it comes as drizzle). Add in the temperature difference and you can see that maybe there are some blades that work better than others in this environment.

Also, what size of blade do you use? The look up tables say 17, but most of the newer 17 inch blades do not curve enough to make full contact at the lower part of the stroke, especially on the passenger side.

Any and all suggestions welcome.
