my camry is needing new window wipers soon (frs is doing fine) and in the past each one i buy seems to wear down and squeek pretty quickly. Whats a durable all season brand that i can pick up at autozone, o'reily, etc?

Wiper blades wear down quite fast. Get an inexpensive blade replacement. The expensive ones don't last appreciably longer. Keep them in good shape by cleaning them off frequently with a rag.

RainX helps too. you wont need your wipers in LIGHT rain as it all just flies off at ~30 MPH so you def won't wear them down as fast. on my old car i used RainX combined with RainX (basic) wipers and it worked amazing for the 2 years i had the car. the blades were just starting to fade by the time i got my FR-S

Check out the Triple Edge wipers. All silicone. You should get at least a year out of them depending on where you live, maybe longer. Wal-Mart used to sell them and quit a year or so ago.

I use rain-x latitudes along with rain-x and I get 9-12 months out of a pair. Just make sure you wipe the blade off occasionaly

Costco in the Seattle area has Goodyear Assurance blades for $5. I use those with RainX and with them being so cheap I can replace them often.
