The passenger side wipes semi-clean, driver side leaves streaks of water and only dries when the wind blows on it.
Time to replace them.

Mine was born 3 years ago this month. Still the original blades. They are just starting to smear some when you first turn them on. I have a set of Icon's in the cargo area that I bought earlier this year while they were on sale. Almost thinking when I put them on, they won't be any good.

I'm not sure of the manufacture of the factory blades, but they look Identical to the Bosch Icon blades and Trico Neoform blades that I sell at Kragen Auto Parts. These usually run between $18 and $22 ea., but if they are as good as the stocks then they will last you a few years. I just changed mine for the first time and mine is an 06 60k miles out side in +100 heat during the summer.
Heres a pic of them
Tip: to save money on blades, buy the good ones and keep the old ones if they are still in ok shape to put back on during the summer so the sun does not ruin the new fancy expensive ones.

I replaced my factory blades with the Bosch as the factory blades on my SS would get ice in the joints then start missing a lot of the windshield, but the factory blades on my LT were very similar to the Bosch blades and have been on for over 1 1/2 years now with no problems.
