Default Re: German Elasticity?
Well, rubber is rubber and it breaks down (dries out) over time even if it's stored out of the elements. Don't blame the Germans.

A couple weeks ago, I got new blades from the dealer. I've generally found that OEM blades from the dealer have lasted longer and fit better than off brands. The guy in the Chrysler parts dept. showed me the option of standard Mopar blades (without the wind deflector) which he admitted were cheap, and the MB/Mopar blades (both with wind deflectors). The Mopar blades were about $21 a pair and MB/Mopar blades were $46 a pair. I opted for the MB/Mopar blades.

The parts number are:

1-05189812AA
and
1-05099055AB

Hope that helps!
