    Hopefully drdan will come back and explain, but I remember talking with him and there was a subtle difference in the two. Something with how the arm attaches. I think the notches or different or something.

      I can't find mine and I can't recall if I test fitted one or not. They looked really close though.

      Movin, that ebay wiper arm is black and the first (lower) joint looks too long. I'll go back out and look again for my pair.

        Yes, close and its not like we are turbo mapping and designing pistons and combustion chambers based on dynamic tests..
        we just need a swipe across the windshield that works better

          The "new" Trico Onyx are awesome.....they may look a bit bulky but the winged area of the blade is moved to the back and it acts like a rear spoiler....I like them and they work awesome.

            I have Michelin "hybrid" style blades. They have the arm structure of typical wipers, but have an aerodynamic wing over it. I've had them about a year and a half and they seem to be wearing out. Not wiping as well and the blade itself is bending funny.
            I recently applied the Rain-X coating to my windshield, though. Big difference. I don't even use my wipers when I'm moving.

              I've found rain-x wiper washer fluid achieves awesome results. Make sure to use the spray when it's dry to apply the coating. If you spray it on and wipe it a few times to distribute it, the stuff dries a little and sticks, then you can wipe to clear the rest of it off. The $1 extra initial investment is worth it when I don't have to manually apply rain-x hahaha.
