   I used to buy the Tripledge wipers, which lasted forever in LA smog and   
   went to the wrecking yard along with the cars they were attached to.   
   Now you have to mail order them and they're out of my price range now,   
   but I really liked them.   
      
   Now I just buy whatever Walmart has every couple of years, and I think I   
   like the 'beam' type rather than the other ones.  I just wish the   
   illustrations of the fastening mechanism looked more like reality.  "Oh,   
   so you have to turn it ALL THE WAY AROUND to get it to look like that?"   
   Feh.
