These Wipers Suck!

Can anyone recommend a GOOD brand of wiper blades for these cars. I have a '93 lumina as well as a '99. Even after installing new blades on them, the wipers are not worth a $#!^! They help a little, but basically all they do, in any weather condition, is spread the water out in beads over the entire windshield. They don't push the water off. If there are any good brands out there or anything you can do to them or the windshield to make them more useful please respond. Thanks.

Those new all rubber ones they're putting on new GM cars are nice! And at nearly 25$ a pop at O'reillys.. I use Bosch, however.. They act like a big squeegee.

Anco Aerovantage (not their junk cheapo line), Trico (they make GM's OEM blades) and AC-Delco's are the only decent blades I've tried. I've never used Bosch, so I cannot say anything about them. Also try cleaning the road grime off the glass with a good strong glass cleaner or vinegar/water solution.
