Wiper blades ANCO or OEM Subaru
Switching to single beam wipers helped from the crappy oem segmented frame ones.
I recently installed these $2.50 CAD wipers on my car.... And they are perfect...[ANCO 14C]
The current wipers on my car, the ultra economical (ANCO 14C) - I would give them a 9 out of 10 rating, functionally they are perfect, they are just slightly uglier than the HYBRID TRICO 26-1HB
I just ordered a pair of ANCO Contours for my F250 - under $25. Reviews suggest I'll get at least two seasons out of them.
On my red Kia hatchback..... I have had nothing but pure success with these ANCO 14 series blades from RockAuto. [streak free perfect wipe](https://streamable.com/72g6cs)
Lately I've been using the Anco Contours because they are $13 for a set on rockauto and seem to be a great blade.
3 years huh? I think I have my factory-original wipers on a 16 year old Subaru. Might be different environments and usage patterns but isn't this the sort of thing you don't replace if they're still working perfectly?
I only use anco ones and I get about a year out of the beam style either ones.
I had blades replaced under warranty today and the usdm Subaru blades are not even close to the same. The they are taller and wider. I went back and asked for my old blades back i hate the replacement ones that much
The problem is that Anco wiper blades are 100% cheap junk that doesn't give you the required adapters to attach the wiper to the car. It's absolutely asinine that there is no adapter included. You can't buy the adapter separately either, so I don't know what you are supposed to do with these. I would return them if possible.
