I've ran Anco Winter Blades before and they worked well.

I like the trico brand far better than the anco as well. And with close to 20 yrs working in parts I'e sold just about every manufacture's brand out there. And personally you couldn't GIVE me anything with the BOSCH name brand on it.

Have you tried the RainX brand? I have them on all of my vehicles and they are just as good as the Bosch at half the price! Most of the lengths are 10 bucks a piece.

I've never had a problem with the cheapest silicone blades I could buy with regular frames. As long as they're not frozen to the windshield, just lift em away and drop them a couple times and its good to go. I put a new set on at the start of winter, and a new set on at the end, and clean them with an abrasive cleaning powder once in awhile during the warmer seasons.
