I bought mine for $180 2 yrs ago in Q. for front, drivers and door windows and also wiper covers and a bag (made from the same material) to put them in. They have snaps ... I've never had a problem with them

This thought is not really 'on topic' for this thread...but it's close.  I noticed the other day that my wiper arms are exerting a helluva lot of pressure on my blades and that naturally got me thinking about what would be the end result after the bus sitting for an extended period....I don't have an exterior windshield cover but recently replaced both my windshields.

And in passing another parked S/S coach I noted that the owner had the presence of mind to put a tennis ball under each wiper arm therein reducing the pressure on the blades.  Lightbulb! ??? ??? ??? ???

So, that was my imposition on your thread...but I do think it's mildly connected. ;)

I had covers for my wipers and always run tennis balls under the arms. It did mean that I had to stop and get out if I run into a rain storm. If the weather was looking bad, I always did that before departing. Sure helped the longevity of the wiper blades.
