If you are looking for the O.E.M. style blade with a new design then check this information out. I purchased a set for the Marauder last week at Pepboys automotive.

I don't drive in the rain much but will keep you posted.

Yes I have them on the car and I will have to return to the store for the exact part number.

These blades are not like the O.E.M. and they have a very thick center mass.

They shouldn't have a specific number for our Marauders, the size of our wiper blades are 22", so any wiper that is 22" should fit. :rolleyes:

That's true, but the they did list Marauder in the Trico book at the Store. I think the number was 22-212. This may fit other cars with a 22' blade requirement. They were a little tricky to install, but after figuring out how to use the included second adapter everything worked fine.

Amen to that! Plus... on my first scheduled maintenence visit, I made the mistake of asking the dealer to change the blades.
$36 for a set of OEM's?. Gimmie a break! I said "No Way!" and bought a set of Bosch wipers. Better AND cheaper.

I don't know if my using Rain-X washer fluid from the get-go has anything to do with it, but I'm still on my originals and they're like new, soft, flexible, no chattering ever and clean streakless wiping. 15 months since I took delivery, but I figure they must've been sitting on the car at least two months before that. My guess is the Motorcraft wiper blades are just a reboxed Anco. I've always got good wear from Ancos here in Florida where the sun is so punishing to rubber.

I got those about 3-4 months ago. Not too crazy about them. One started to chatter and after a short while after the center of the blade peeled off. The other one is still holding up but It doesn't look like it would hold up to snow and ice in the winter.

The Pepboys by me doesn't sell them anymore. Not sure why but they haven't had it on the shelves for at least two months. I was looking for a replacement for the chattering one. I might try the more expensive Valeo ones that Tire Rack has. I saw them at the Import SEMA show at Atlantic City last year.

Wow. Counting my oem's, I'm on my fourth set of wipers.

I've had the Valeo's on for about 6 months and love them. Of course. I live near Chicago where we are going thru a drought this summer. The times it has rained though the Valeo's performed flawlessly.
The only thing disappointing about them is that they are made by a French company.

The Innovision are like the OEM,s that came with my 03MM.
They would not stay put "chattered" so I repaced them with ANCO's that
had more support to hold the blades down. 4 extra support arms under the
main arm and a total of 10 support points including the ends.
This solved my problem.

I bought a set of Bosch wiper blades in October. For two months, they were great. Then I experienced streaking on the driver's side and the passenger side blade tip doesn't sit tight against the glass. I've read a lot of good comments about Bosch on the board... maybe my experience was a quirk, but I think I'm going back to Anco. I used Anco on my old Marquis for eight years without any problems.

Rider, I agree. Are they DTR? Can you tell me about them? Thanks Dennis

Keep us posted on their performance. Thanks.

After a few months of ownership the blades have worked out fine. I have not experienced any streaking or noise.
