Original wiper blades

I am just wondering how long your original wiper blades have lasted. My car was built in Apr. 06 with 27,700 miles and the originals still wipe clean.

I think there may be some factors that may play into this. Is your car garaged or does it set outside? Mine still work fine but this winter I may change them out for better ones.

The Beautiful one is garaged at night (soon to be evicted/replaced) but generally in the hot sun and elements during the day.
17,000mi. and no streaking or missed spots.

No idea. I have this weird habit of removing the OEM wipers very quickly and replace them with winter blades or aero summer blades (depending on the season).

When I send a vehicle back from leasing it, I put the OEM blades on it

Nearly 20 months, 41,000 miles and still have the original blades on, and they still work great. I do wipe the blades off every now and then with rubbing alcohol to get the road grime off, but that's about it.
