Default Wiper Blade suggestions?

I need to replace wipers, and frequently I might add, so I was hoping to get your suggestions on a wiper that lasts long and doesn't leave a streak after each pass or stutter across the windshield.

Does such a magical blade exist?

FWIW - I don't have garage

Default Wow! I was just researching this last night! I need them too for my B6...

Unfortunately for me, the 2002 B6's came with the straight edge type and then changed to the Aero style in 2004.5. If I want to change to the Aero style, I'm looking at like $100 to convert.

Sorry I don't know about your car. Does RainX or Tripledge make a fitment for yours?

Default can you just get a refill?

rainX does make an application. I liked them in the past...i guess i'm willing to pony up $40 for something, that even if its a bit expensive, will last me longer

Do you think there's really a difference between "normal" blades and "winter" blades?

Default I just got them for the UrS

They are great, I needed new wiper arms as well, so once the new arms were on they really worked well.
