Any recommendation on replacement wiper blades? Ones that don't have rubber that comes apart just sitting in the garage. Think have been in the rain six times since I bought the car in 2008. Passenger side wiper has separation about 1.5 inches of the part that touches the windshield from the part that slides into the brackets. Always clean them, but they still don't hold up...

Thanks. Popeye

 

Two years is good for wiper blades I reckon. Rubber rots not because of the rain, usage helps but rubber deteriorates because of the atmosphere. Electric motors give of ozone and that rots rubber. If you have a fridge in the garage get rid of it, it ruins tires as well.
New silicone ones should last longer.
