Just curious to see what kind of blades everyone is running. My stock ones are now chrome instead of black and the blades have sap on them (yet I don't park under trees ). So it is obvious I need to replace mine, odds are I'm going with Anco Hydroclears or Rain X blades.

I just installed a set of Bosch blades. I didn't realize how expensive they are.
It's a good thing my brother owed me a favor and got them for wholesale at his shop.SOLD: 2002 Trans Am WS.6 - Black on Black - 6 Speed

From what I've read (yes, I've gotten that bored at work where I've read comparisons on wiper blades ), the Bosch blades are some of the highest rated for performance over time, and what sold me was no dry-rotting. Reason is, my T/A is a garage queen... Never sees the rain. I needed blades that wouldn't crack over time like the stock ones did.
I'm sure any of the three you named have the same qualities though. It's probably a toss up.SOLD: 2002 Trans Am WS.6 - Black on Black - 6 Speed

I bought bosh last fall and they didn't seem to run over my window fully like they would be up in the middle, I used 24" ones. I exchanged them for (I think there called) trufit ones I know eeew but they worked and were a bit longer then the bosh ones and totaly ran fully on my windshield.94 Formula Firebird, 355, heads port and polished, cc503 cam, 30# injectors, PCMforless Tune, B&M 2400 stall, K&N CAI, BBK Sorty Headers, Magnaflow Highflow Cat, Borla Catback exhaust with electronic cutout.

I didn't think that bosch made wiperblades for the pre 98 F-bodies anymore...
Anyway, there's Aranco, but don't just get the regular 24" blades, there's a special model for F-bodies. On the front of the box it says it's for Camaro and Firebird.
There's also another company blade carried at CarQuest. I don't remember the name, but I'm running them on my car and they work just fine.Joe K.

I still have the original metal part of the stock blades on my 94, repainted with some flat black, because they were faded. I got the Anco 24N refill rubbers for a few bucks... still on the first replacement set. I doubt the wipers have even been turned on in the last three yearsFred

All the blades work. It is the arm that makes a difference. I tossed mine because the paint came off. A couple replacement arms later my wipers still suck. I got some at the junk yard installed my wiper blades fixed the problem.
