I've had good experiences with ANCO wipers. Word of advice: stay away from the Bosch premium wipers - they are crap and are not durable.

Thanks OP! Was it you who posted the same deal the last time around there was a rebate? I wish ANCO would advertise more. I got my $5 rebate on a pair, on two separate occasions. I'm going to go ahead and buy one pair each for our two cars and buy a third pair for a relative and just fill out the rebate under their name/address.

I've tried various brands and find these cheapo ANCO ones do the job just fine.

Just picked up 2 AeroVantage wipers from Autozone at $6.99 each. Thus $14-$10 = $4 for a pair! Nice.

The contour ones were like $16-18 each. Much slicker if you got the AeroVantage, I'd say. Autozone didn't even have the 31-Series and Winterblade.

PS for other people's info: The K-mart I stopped by had Anco wipers too for about the same price (didn't have the size I needed, unfortunately). Target had 2 other brands but not Anco.

They look the same as Michelin Radius blades. The Michelin ones at least, are VERY good. A nice clean, even sweep of the windshield. Is it worth the price premium? Not for me, as I prefer to change mine every 6 months regardless (the heat really makes my wiper blades crap out in no time, not an issue for those in cooler climates) so I much prefer $10/set for the 31-series.

I just forwarded the rebate to a couple of friends/family members

I received an ad in the mail for O'Reilly an it had Anco Wipers BOGO this week and next.


I live in Texas...It might be regional please confirm...

My O'Reilly has Bosch blades on rebate,

Absolutely perfect timing.
Thanks, MISTERCHEAP

I rechecked and apparently, its a grand opening for a new o'reilleys, check to see if there are any new ones opening in your area, you can get probably get the same deal... Thanks for the heads up..

I just bought a couple sets of Silblades at JCWhitney
5% cashback
Silblade
Flexblade

They're made of silicone and guaranteed for 5 or 10 years. Typically ozone and uv degrade the rubber causing cracking and streaks, silicone is immune to this, so provided you don't have too much dust and dirt to physically grind the blades down, these should last a long time. So far(2 months) my flexblades are working fine.

For those of you who do this one, please keep us updated on whether you receive it or not.I've submitted five or six of ANCO rebates in the past. Most of the times they went through OK. When there is a problem, just call the number on the form. The phone is for Federal Mogul (company that makes blades) not their rebate processor. They take good care of the customers. Once they've even sent me two checks instead of one .

If you buy two pairs of blades (four blades in all) you should fill-in two rebate forms, but you may mail them in the same envelope.

Same here, have always gotten my Anco Rebates w/o issue. Just save a copy of your paperwork. Typically arrives about 10 weeks after you submit.

Also, if you don't know what size wiper blades you need on your car, that info is in your owners manual or most stores will have a reference guide by the wipers to help you.

Bought a couple of pairs (pair for me and a pair for my gf) of AeroAdvantage from Autozone over the weekend. Will get them onto the car later today.

Thanks OP for the headsup!
