Wiper Blade Refills

I'm needing some blades or refills for my Jetta. I used to use the Lexor B refills at Whirlmart but they stopped selling them. What are good ones to use that are inexpensive? Are the refills at the dealership good/inexpensive?

I just bought a bunch of BOSCH refills for the PDX crowd...although we have no idea where you are from...
Anyway, they can be had--expect to pay ~$16 or so for a set.
Cheers,

I was thinking about trying the "siliblades" this time (more expensive than the $8 I pay at the dealer for refills), and am hoping they don't stiffen up as quickly as the rubber ones.

I just went with refills at the dealership this time. My other option was going with Trico Innovision, but they were more than I wanted to spend at the time.

My OEM blades did that and they started to really suck. I just took some 120 grit sandpaper to them and got rid of the stiffness. Didn't take much at all and they are as good as new!!!

Sounds good if I had a windshield I didnt care about. It seems like a little grit from the sandpaper would embed in the rubber therfore scratching the windshield. I might be wrong but ....it just doesnt sound good.

Uh... I said 120 grit, not 1200 If you have 120 grit embedded into the wiper you were pressing a weeeee bit to hard..
