Intlcutlass Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Recomendations for my 89 Cutty..... Who uses what kind? Who's is the best? Or is this one of those things that it doesn't really matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Well, I have used (And my family always has used) Anco winter wipers.. Hell, my Grampa used them all year round, sometimes for years on end, and they always worked well.. Summer or winter.. I need new wipers as it is, and those are I am buying..

SigEpCutlass Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I used Anco and then switched to Bosch. I've had a very positive experience with Bosch MicroBlade Excels (i think that's what they're called). In my experience, the Bosch worked a bit better than Anco's. If you're looking for cheaper and work well go Anco, if you are willing to pay more get the Bosch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 If you have the stock wiper blade holders, i wouldn't bother...it seems that even my summer ancos seem to start to lift off the windshield in crosswinds at highway speeds...very annoying. Gotta get me some stock ones sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 My dad has had anco wiper blades on his truck for almost 8 years now. They have no holes or tears and still clean the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Trico. ive had the same set for 15000miles and when i had anco's, they would only last 5K. winter blades are worthless too imo. from what ive seen they dont help at all and usually dont work as well under normal conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I still have the stock wiper blades on mine. When I say stock I mean the originial ones. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabz Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Winter Blades are useless. I live in snow country. just use replacements. See Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I use Anco because they're cheap, but I don't think it really matters. All these wipers suck in the winter. Too much snow and ice gets packed down there and those wipers like to get stuck. I need to start building my prototype heated cowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossman429 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I use Bosch Micro Edges as well. I used to sell them at the place I worked at. After I quit there, and started using different brands, I was never satisfied with them after about 4 months. So now I go with bosch on my daily driver (Beretta) and generally cheapo ($7) Carquest brand on the TSTE and (soon on the) GTS. If I had money to blow I'd get Bosches on all 3 cars, but only really drive the Beretta in rain and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnout524 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I've got Bosch Micro Edge blades on my car. I guess they're ok, no lifting or anything, but they smear after about a year of use. I put them on in early December 04, and throughout last winter, they smeared when you get slushy/dirty snow up on the windshield. It's raining out atm, so maybe i can get some pics. We had Ancos on our 87 Camry (was Consumer Report's #1 in tested wiper blades). Those went longer without smearing, but they still didn't last too long. I'm debating going down to the dealership and picking up some some GM blades. My experience says aftermarket blades suck, but thats just me.

My experience says aftermarket blades suck, but thats just me. i dunno what you're talking about...i've had the same pair of bosch micro blade wipers on my cutty for almost 2 years and now I finally have a streak on the driver blade. It may just be I have to pick up the wiper blade to get debris from under it, which has happened before. I might replace them before winter starts though.

It may just be I have to pick up the wiper blade to get debris from under it, which has happened before. I might replace them before winter starts though. Yeah, I don't really take good care of my wiper blades...I usually let the debris get pushed around, rather than cleaning it out (unless it's like a huge leaf or something massive). Plus they're hard to get to, as they mostly hide under the hood, much like your 1 gen. Either way, aftermarket wipers aren't as good as stock imo.

radman3120 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 The anco winter blades are about the same price (Edit: mine were actually cheaper) as regular middle grade blades at advance auto parts and the only difference is that the winter blade has extra rubber around it so it doesnt get snow and ice packed into it. i just keep those on all year round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabz Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 ... the only difference is that the winter blade has extra rubber around it so it doesnt get snow and ice packed into it. i just keep those on all year round When that happens, barely ever, I just bring the wipers to the top of there cycle shut the car off and lift them so they smash the windshield a few times. clears em right up.

dakiln Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Recently bought a pair of AC Delco's, was in a hurry and they were convienent figured I had just waisted my money, actually they surprised me. We just had our first snow in Ohio and basically they have so far performed really well in the rain and snow both. In the past I used ANCO.
