    I just bought some Trico Force wiper blades for my GXP. They work awesome. They were about $40 for the pair off of amazon.

    I replaced mine last week with Trico Tech Beam Blades. They seem to work pretty well. 26" & 15"

    Last month I bought the OEM's from the local Chevrolet dealer, $22. Work great with plenty of rain testing.

    I go a set of the TRICO Onyx blades. They ended up being free with a coupon code I had from Advance Auto after the purchase of so other parts so I thought they were worth a shot. I'll post how they work if I ever get stuck in the rain.

    Bringing back an older thread.. I bought the Trico Force blades. I wish I went with OEM. OEM were not exciting they just worked and looked nice. The Trico Force for me are bigger than OEM where they attach to the arm and they skip when in use.

    As I went 7 years on the last set I guess I only have to listen to that skipping for 7 more years!

    I use Trico exclusively on all three of my vehicles and don't have skipping issues. Did you clean your windshield? I usually clay mine. I also buy the best Trico's and they fit and look great. Trico is actually OEM on many vehicles.

    I also SWEAR by Adams Glass Sealant. It's like Rain-X but IMO it's better. My wipers ALWAYS skipped with Rain-x and I NEVER have that issue with Adams. ??? I drive in the rain on the interstate and don't use my wipers.

    I think if you'll clay bar your windshield, you'll see a huge difference. I just put a set of Trico Force on mine and love them. No skip and clean great. I'll never buy a different kind again. I had a set of AC Delco on it and the sucked after 6 months.
