Choosing replacement blades
When selecting replacement blades, you can choose traditional frame-style blades or newer beam-style (flat) blades. Beam blades often provide better contact and streak-free performance in various weather conditions. Consider your climate and driving conditions when choosing blades, and look for multi-pack options if you want front and rear replacements together.
