Default Wiper Blades...FWIW

Well, after replacing two blades last year (left the auto sensor on in a car wash!)and paying over $35.00 each (from 2 different dealers)I figured it was time to replace them both again.
This time I contacted Carson at Riverside. He quoted me $13.79 each. I was sure this was some kind of mistake, but figured for the $30.00, I'd give it a try.
They came in yesterday (2 days after I placed the order) and they are as adertised. Perfect

Interestingly, Riverside has an MSRP of $24.00. GenuineAudiParts(dot)Com has then for the same net but with a $19.98 MSRP.

...and two dealers in NY have them at over $35.00 each!

Default I paid about $70 for both about 8-10 months ago

Looks like we're being ripped-off! (Northern NJ)
