Thanks
Thanks, I ordered a set (at least I "back-ordered" a set) from Amazon.
The OEM windshield blades are very bad in the winter as has been repeatedly listed in this forum. One way that I have had some success to solve this problem was to purchase the more expensive windshield washer fluid. This is the fluid that is good to -30F. When the car is warmed up and the heated nozzles are working at their peek temperature, this combination seems to keep the wipers from freezing over and dragging blocks of ice across the windshield.

Big ice storm in Indiana yesterday and today. New blades worked perfectly. They started to ice up at first, but once the car got warm they were awesome.
Thanks to who ever discovered these wipers!

I found this place and the price looks good but they are listed as an OEM replacement. It doesn't say anything about being better in the winter. So what is the difference? http://www.autopartglobal.com/replac...blade-set-of-2
