I just threw some RainX wipers on yesterday. Can't speak to the longevity, but they work great. And 10.99 each isn't so bad.

Try the "TricoForce" They are made for any-weather performance. They have a
Vortex aero foil design to convert wind force for maximum windshield contact. The treated rubber blades are smooth and quiet. $$$ kinda pricy at $17/each, but good investment.

Seems like as good of a place to ask this as any. When using the little wiper blade info thing at the auto parts store, it looks like It recommends both 15" and 16" blades. They didn't have any 15" blades, so I bought 16". The passenger side blade doesn't fit right (about a third of the blare is not in contact). I think I had this happen last time a s bent the blade a little, and I think the blade was always a little off. Anybody else have this issue? I guess I should find 15" for the passenger side?

There are different curves for wiper blades, usually A and B. I believe wranglers use A blades. You might have picked up a B blade which is why it isn't contacting the glass properly.
