Why the f*ck do windshield wipers cost $70 for a set? Don’t give me bs about supply/demand or supply chain issues.
What makes them so special?

Can you drive safely without them when it’s raining?
But I agree they’re overpriced.

They help you see when it rains?

They don't.
Only certain ones do.
You can buy cheapies, but you get what you pay for.

Costco has them for $6 each.

You won't feel this way when you're caught in a downpour.

I get OE Lexus ones for $20 each off amazon.

I don't know. You tell us. You're the one that spent $70 on a set when you could have spent much less.

Are you buying only the refill? And are you buying from the dealership?

Volvo does a cool thing by simply replacing the rubber blade portion. The second one starts to streak I order a new set. Slide out the old ones and replace, very little waste.

You are probably replacing the entire cartridge and not just the blade. Just replace the blade and it will be much cheaper

Costco is the answer.

Inserts only cost me $10.99 each. I'm not an OT Baller who drives a G-Class though. I guess there's truth in mo' money, mo' problems.

Wait til you buy a Toyota and are charged for a subscription service to start using your wipers.

I bought one at my oil change place a couple months ago, and when he told me the total price I just about dropped my jaw. I only ended up buying one (driver side). Told him when he quoted me the price (~ $35) I assumed that was for the set, not just one.

I bought a set for $22 on Amazon baw

Had to replace mine last week. $81. They guy told me it is because so many vehicles now have different length wipers on the car so they cant pack them in pairs. My driver side was 24" and the passenger side was 22".

I ordered a set last week from Amazon for like 30 dollars. I'm curious to see if they last a month or not.
The last set I bought lasted a year and a half but they are totally clapped out now. The actual blade is hanging on by a thread.

Let me guess. You had to go to the dealer because you can't change them yourself.
