Windshield wiper blades
 
I did a search and did some reading on this subject.
I bought and used the ANCO Contour on my last vehicle, but we have to admit, the HUMMER is not like any other vehicle.

What are you guys in the snow belt using with some spectacular results? I don't recall owning a vehicle made for such rough off road conditions as a Hummer having such a weak link as the wipers. Last night the H3 handled the few inches of freshly falling snow just swell, but the fact that I could not see out the windshield was disturbing to me. I don't think it convieniant to stop every few miles to clear the wipers of ice.

Ditto on this issue!
I have run into the same problem. I have just replaced the wipers with new OE ones before winter - and they're still crappy!

I did read that, but there is no input as to what really works, time tested so to speak.

I've narrowed it down to the Bosch, ANCO, Rain-X. Just don't know if these choices are rugged enough.

I know the stock wipers don't cut it.

I have used anco countor and trico inovision and both work better than oem. I have not used the bosch so don't know how they work. Steve

i use piaa wiper blades on my front and rear and will never use anything else.when i first bought my 06 hummer i replaced the blades right away. i can tell u piaa does not list a rear piaa blade for the H3 but i can assure u the 12inch works perfect. but this is just my opinion , i have only had good experience with piaa products thats why i use them any chance i can being i have the blades and all my lighting is piaa and no i dont work for them i just have had great experiance.

Using Rain X Latitude right now and they are the best I have used. They stick to the windshield like glue. Only thing is they are pretty expensive. I paid almost 20 bucks each.

I got them from Autozone in Waterbury. I had a heck of time finding the H3 size. I think it is 16" and 17", but double check. I tried Pep Boys and they didn't have my size, but they carry them. You can try the Danbury Wal-Mart, they are suppose to carry them.

Take a look at these, the Flexblade model.

They are by "silblade"
I have not tried these yet but plan on ordering them soon. I had the PIAA silicone blades and they lasted for almost 2 years know I have the Bosch ICON they are nice but the blades don’t hold up like the silicone ones I have had them for about 3 months and they are on there way out. But the one-piece design is great for snow and ice.
