Default Windshield Wipers for a 2000 Dakota Club Cab

I have a 2000 Dakota Club Cab and have not had any good luck finding decent windshield wiper blades. I have tried pretty much every brand of standard blade and the only one that seems to work decently well is Bosch. None of them really sit well on the windshield, specially on the passenger side. I have even tried the newer type solid blade design (it's all plastic and kind of looks like a boomerang)that is supposed to lay flatter on the windshied butI notice no difference at all.

Can anyone recommend a blade that will lay flat and conform to the window (even on the passenger side)?

i got cheapo rain-x ones at wal mart that worked good for like two storms then started to suck so im looking for the same thing. one suggestion is to rain-x the crap out of it i did that to my jeep put it on like everyday for two weeks and had the same set of winter blades on it for like 2 years and it was great wish i could see that well in rain in the truck.

You have to make sure they are the right size though. Mine are a bit too long and they miss one spot on the drivers side... But they are good otherwise.

5 year old blades? i would be amazed if they didn't suck.i have not heard of too many people having great luck with blades. i get the cheap blades from wallyworld and they last me 6-8 months depending on how mich rain.the last set of anco blades that i had,the rubber started peeling away and left a scratch in the glass.

Silblade. they will run you about 25-30 bucks a piece. but they are made out of GE performance silicone. guaranteed for 5 years. i have put them on every vehile i have owned without a problem. they even work great in the winter then the next summer. i have never seen another blade be able to do that.
