Really?? we HAVE to use OEM Wiper Blades?
either im losing it or I just am not aware but I just bought some rainex latitude blades and went to replace.. and ive never seen a mount system like ours.... its got the pin but the little bracket we have eliminates the possibility to use any of the clips etc on the blades i bought...... are we relegated to only OEM blades??.. or do we have a select few only to choose from

I got some at rockauto. They actually have Trico blades on clearance, $3.81 each. I just got Bosch clear advantage, they were $6.73 each. I also got a set of the Bosch OEM blades which were $31.79 for the pair just in case the cheaper Bosch ones don't last. The clear advantage seem fine so far. There's also a 5% discount code floating out there that makes up for some of the shipping that they charge.

Yes the pin slides through... With no adapter...But it is in no way an appropriate fit..far too much play compared to OEM and thats not acceptable to me. Only adapters are the hook adapter..and the snap over the pin one and neither will allow install.
I'll just stick to OEM..or at least test fit before purchase

A bunch of TT's
I bought a set from Autohausaz while I had an order in for a few other little things w free shipping - Bosch Aero Twin. Same price as other $15-$20 blades out there. My previous ones lasted way long enough so why not back to it. If you are deal with cold climate/snow/ice, a good set will be warranted.

I just change the rubber blades by buying Anco 31-26 from my local Walmart, pulling the blades, and mounting in the oem wipers. Total= $7.18 :
