Default Performance of "Mopar" wipers

Just got a set of these from my local Dodge dealer. They had a sale where I got one for half off when buying two.

I bought them thinking they might last a little longer than the Michelin's (or other AMs) that chattered like angry squirrels across my windshield. I was a bit let down once I had them in hand. Made in Mexico and "offered by Mopar." Pretty much plain jane and looking like any other aftermarket wipers. Let me know if you've tried these and how long they lasted/performed.

I love these VALEO 900 Series Hook $8 plus shipping rockauto they are under the Premium Beam section last a long time even in the HOT 118 heat we get in AZ.

The blade is thick

Hey, thanks for the link. Didn't realize they were so cheap at Rock Auto, else I'd gone there to begin with. Picked up some cheap Densos for my other car.
