GREAT OP! ARGH !!! Just replaced the two front on one of my cars with the regular ones (yellow box - I think it's the 31 series), at 4 bucks a piece at wallyworld... Wife wanted the cheaper $3 but I said... nah...
Of course UPC is all but gone now Might pick up another set and keep in the garage for next time...

Anco runs these MIR's twice a year usually, around now and September. So if you change your wipers 1x or 2x a year, try to time it with these rebate deals.
Sometimes Autozone has the Rain X BOGO with a MIR too.

1. how much is the regular price per pair for these?
2. My car takes size 10-right wiper and 11-left wiper: Does this make sense?
3. Will it be a pair of 10 and 11 or i need to buy 2 pairs?

Sorry, but I am new to the AUTODEALS.
They are sold at WalMart and most anywhere that sells auto parts. The base version wiper (with the $5 rebate on a pair) is about $10 for two wipers at Wal Mart, so net is $5 with the rebate on a pair.
If you have two cars, you can get two pairs of wipers (one pair for each car)
They don't have to be the same size as many cars have different size wipers driver/passenger side to cover the windshield.
orangespot said: did that years ago and never got the rebate. For those of you who do this one, please keep us updated on whether you receive it or not. Even the "good" rebates do fail sometimes. A good FW’er always follows up on missing rebates. If one is unable to track a rebate, contact the mfr. to get satisfaction.
I’ve done previous versions of this rebate, and received them without issue.
There are some real curious birds here on this forum. What in the world have you got a problem with, go4ball and usga, to give this post red?
Thanks for the PM, go4ball. This forum is such a great place to meet people.

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.
Guess it's a YMMV on experience with wipers. I tried ANCO about 6 months ago. They didn't stay on my car long before I replaced them with a pair of RainX (which I love). The Anco ones were terrible from day one and just got worse.
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.
nuck44 said: Anyone try the Contour ones? Are they any good?
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
FYI: The cheap Anco line at WalMart are not made as well as the WalMart branded Supertech blades mostly being the Anco arms and CLIPS are made from plastic that tends to break where they attach to the rubber, where as the Supertech are made of metal and the metal clips that attach to the rubber are much better than the plastic Anco's plus the Supertechs run around $6 a pair.
On the rebate issue, I have been on FW for 5 years, and I have done hundreds of rebates I never have not received one. Why, I follow up, I keep copies of everything. Some have taken awhile but all have come!
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..
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.
orangespot said: did that years ago and never got the rebate. 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.
i got mine last month. However they sent me a check for $10 even though i had purchased two pairs. called 1-866-803-7303 and they are sending another one.
