Bosch...I think is what the replacement blade usually is at the dealership. Could be wrong though.

but i heard they suck, i was thinking PIAA since i have had a good experience with them in my dodge, but didn't know how to find just the insert. will ANY insert fit? i read using some silicone grease(i think) would do the trick.

Actually you're right...I don't drive my car in the rain but if I recall, one time I got caught in some, and they sucked. PIAA can't be bad. Just don't drive in the rain!
