Wipers (I know this sound stupid)

What wipers (not the sizes) fit our beasts? The push brackets just dont fit with the Bosch ones I have on the car.


I am on my 3rd set of trial and error, nothing in the auto store fit, I went to Amazon and bought these (Bosch Evolution 4841 and 4842) which said they would fit - it didnt!! I am fed up of trying :-)

Amazon.com: Bosch 4842 Evolution All-Season Bracketless Wiper Blade, 24" (Pack of 1): Automotive

I purchased the Rain-x wipers from Auto quest. They came with adapters that fit great.

I really like the Rain X Repel windshield wipers. They actually apply Rain X as they wipe to bead the water.
