Goodyear ones from Costco. 7.99 a side I just wait for the BOGO so for under 10 bucks I will replace them yearly, they do last 3 years but I like them fresh. Works as good as the Bosch, just a little higher profile so they do catch wind when you are going pretty fast but it seems all the framless ones do.

it sounds like all of the blades of this style just don't work well with E30s, I've tried 2 brands (not bosch yet) and both of them chattered, especially the rain-x. The rain-x were so bad they barely wiped anything at all. Which is odd because the standard ones are great..

In my current sales territory, I'm driving about 3k miles a month. Crossing the mountain pass about 6 times a month too. On luke's suggestion here, I just put on a set of these fancy new evolutions. Never had these new-fangled frameless type wipers before. Too bad they're made in china. At least the anco's are hecho in mexico.
So far so good. I use the squirters to clean, and use my wipers a lot. So give me a month or two, and I'll see how they hold up.
EDIT: This is on a 2010 subaru, not the e30. Therefore I can't comment on the whole fit on 80's windshields thing.

bumpity, i'm buying some blades online right now found 20 inch bosch evo's for $9.66 a blade on rockauto... luke how did they hold up? i'm thinking of just going with these. but im not settled on them yet there's some veleo's on there for the cheapness also. and some trico's that sound promising. any thoughts?
p.s. using search bar now, sorry to everyone who had to see my annoying post's in the past, i'm a new pantless man.

Guess I should have put more info. I drive my cars seasonally, so they've been on the car for x amount of time, but the vehicle is only driven for say, 6-8 months out of the year (winter car) So the wipers aren't seeing daily use year round.
Also it's closer to 1.5 years than 2 that they've been on the car. My bad.
And they were the regular rain-x on the e36. I don't know if they work better on e30s or what, but a no go on my e36.sigpic
