but for how long, i used normal blades on my other car, and every rainy season i have to replace them. i've only had one set of durablades and never need to worry that they'll perform less than perfect.

takes like 5 minutes including drying time
Durablades take 5 minutes once off for the next minimum 5 years. plus i'm lazy, i'll "forget" to do it then get stuck in rain.

Cthru stays on for a month or so
I don’t know what make of wiper-blades Hyundai uses as OEM equipment, but the ones on my 2012 Elantra lasted 6 years. Replaced them last week with Bosch blades from Midas. Worked very well during yesterday’s downpour.

I got Bosch wipers not too long ago, looks like I will already have to replace them again.
Where can I look for better quality wipers?

How long is not too long ago?
My Bosh blades have been on my car since 2014, and still wipe perfectly.
OEM blades are generally replaced every year with every service.

Less than a year ago. I posted here somewhere. Beginning they worked very well, but now they are just irritating the nord out of me.

Just replace them then. You won't find better than Bosch.
In any case;

I see. I'm gonna replace it, just wondered if there was better quality. My car doesn't stand in the sun and I wash it regularly. Wonder why they become ineffective so soon....
Got them around November last year.
I quickly gave them a good inspection, can't spot any issues or damage or tearing. Cleaned them with window sheen (and the window), looks much better accept for one spot leaving a line.... Argh!

This is why I love me some durablade/problades cause even cheap Fong Kong wipers work well in the beginning it's about how long it lasts.
