    I have used Triple-edge wipers since they came out in the early 80s, and now I cannot seem to find them anymore.

    There are lots of new items out there, some are quite expensive.

    What I liked about the triple-edge is they were made of a silicone rubber, not natural rubber. They lasted almost a year without streaking or breaking, and they left a thin layer of silicone on the windshield, so often I didn't even need the wipers on, it worked like rain-x. In fact, in the hardest of rains, I could see better with the wipers off.

    So what new brands are comparable?

    AH!!! You are my new HERO!!!

    I just assumed that since all my stores quit selling them, and like every other product I have ever religiously stuck with, they quit making them.

    Thanks for the link! :dance:
