I purchased a set of new ones because they were old and brittle and one rubber has already split.

One of the three (2 front 1 back) I had to break apart with a pipe wrench to get it off because it was completely stuck.

While we are talking about wipers, does anyone know how to identify quality ones?

The ones that come from the manufacturer last multiple years, but any replacement wipers that I've seen always start failing a couple of months later, even after cleaning them up, as another user suggested

    Just go to the dealer and buy the OE blades, and enjoy them for many years. Bonus, they fit perfect without stupid adapters. On many brands, you can just replace the rubber insert as well. I used to have Honda blades on all my cars (Honda, Mazda, GM) because then they could use replaceable inserts that were dirt cheap.
