I'm the opposite really. I think the OEM wipers are fantastic!

Sadly, winter took a toll on them and will probably need to replace sometime in summer.

yeah you need some goo gone or bug&tar remover for those big splats. wipers aren't gonna completely do the trick.

i have a 1st gen, and i replaced the OEM with Bosch Icons. they're nicer and give a better wipe.
