Do you treat your blades with anything during their lifetime? I find that if I don't use some vinyl/rubber cleaner and protector on them, they will rot without even using them. The original set on the car practically disintegrated in the Texas summer (<6 months old). Now I treat them every time I wash the car, although I still replace them twice a year or as needed. Obviously, no TX heat and garaged and not driven most of the time will affect their life, but 4 years is way more than I would expect given my recent experiences (and I'm not buying cheap wiper blades).

Is it weird that I haven't used the Z's wiper blades in 2 years...

If it were a DD, then yes. But it's not, so no

I don't eat "healthy" at all (because it all tastes nasty), yet I test healthy every year at our biometric screenings.

hey, it's a free country.
