The orginal 32 inch Factory wipers were ANCO aero syle (9mm J hook) (no exposed metal leave springs) these wiped good in high wind with no lift but after 3 years the blades were shot. I checked with Auto supply houses in my area and found they had to order and were pricey and not ANCO.

I found the new aero style in 28 in length with the 9mm J hook mount on the shelf in many Auto supply - Michelin, Rain X, Bosch ect.

I made the the choice to go with the 28 inch Bosch Marathon Aero vs the 32 as the Panavison windshield is great on a clear day but in the rain the 28 inch does just fine. Aprox $32.00 for two.

The 09 model has the new 9mm J hook mount, so many blades will work.

That's interesting.

I guess Simba owners think alike.

We did the same thing before leaving the Cold Country. Really did not notice much of a difference with the smaller blades, exect in the wallet!

Rained allot on the way down here to Florida as well.
