Out here you don't get much more than 6 months out of a set - the sun and the dust take care of wiper blades in double quick time...

I just bought the entire blade for the CRX for $5.00 at Wallyworld.

I use the Rain-X Latitude blades. I put a set on my tow beast out of desperation. I got tired of having to replace the blades every other time I used it. I can't stand chatter or streaking from wipers. The first set I bought is still on there a year and a half later and they still work as good as they did when I put them on there. They are now on everything. They aren't cheap but they're worth it to me.
Edited because I apparently didn't do a very good job of proof reading.

Up here in Canuckland, its a six months thing. Everybody rants and raves about those new fancy teflon coated bendy blades.
I, instead, replace my blades every 6 months at Canadian Tire.
I have never replaced a set twice, and get years out of a set. Original wipers on my 06 truck, and 06 car. Those rubber winter blades from CT are junk.

The rubber keeps ice from forming on the joints in the wiper, allowing better contact in the winter (especially when slushy out, or snowing). I stand by what I've said :P Your vehicles are also much newer than mine Mike, I've never had a vehicle only 4 years old!
