I'm sure somebody has already recommended them, but I put on the Bosch Icon blades a year ago and they work great. Plus they are reasonably priced.

Don't feel like reading the whole thread, I like Michelin reflex blades from Costco

Bosch Icon! You'll pay a little more, but they're worth it.

14-A. I think Trico is the only company that makes them. I bought one from Autozone through ebates.com for like $10, and since you get some % back for shopping through ebates, you get it for a little less haha

Anyone know if we can just buy refill inserts of the rear? I know we can for the fronts which btw, costs about $17 bucks/refill

Here is the link to the rear wiper on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Trico-Exact-Rear-Wiper-Blade/dp/B001KS6FPK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1328194572&sr=8-4 http://www.amazon.com/Trico-Exact-Rear-Wiper-Blade/dp/B001KS6FPK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1328194572&sr=8-4


I bought Goodyear wiper blades from Costco and they're...ok at best. I'd have to say the OEM blades were better than the Goodyear beam type blades. I got Peak Winter Blades from BJ's for my dads Odyssey and they're freakin awesome. $9/blade and wiper cleaner, quieter, smoother than the Goodyears I got. I'm going to go back to my stock wipers after the Goodyear ones go bad. Might give Bosch Icon's a try after my OEM refills go bad.

Is there OEM Mazda Beam type wipers from other Mazda model that'll fit on the MZ3? I know the OEM ones for Hondas have refills available so you don't have to buy new blades everytime.
