Wiper blade reccomendations?
My wiper blades are beginning to streak so I want to replace them. I did a search and it looks like because of the shape of the windshield aftermarket blades don't work very well. I do not want to go the factory route. Does anyone have any recommendations for aftermarket blades?

The left and right blades are different. The right blade curves up on the outer side. It isn't as easy as asking for a 22" set. I don't believe you can get these from anyone besides Porsche. I replaced mine in December for my 40K service and they streaked right out of the box. My attitude is that if you've got a blade that mostly works, hang onto it unless the rubber is rotting. YMMV.

Why not a just a blade refill? I haven't found one to be honest. I found just the rubber refills for my wife's Lexus and the work great! Took 10 mnts to install. The whole Lexus blades were well over $50.

My experience with Bosch was that passenger side didn't conform to window curvature at the far end of the blade. Maybe they fixed this??
