I recently changed mine. The easiest wiper change I've ever done. Supercheap offered a $2 service to do it for me, but it literally took about 15 seconds per blade. The replacement blades were pretty cheap too, $28 does sound about right.

Pay the supercheap auto guy $2 to go out in the rain and change them

It's funny this old thread got bumped last night because it was just yesterday morning that I discovered the weird system used for wiper blades on these.
As my ute has just been a weekend toy for the few months I've owned it (still trying to sell the old car, so it remains my daily for now) I've never driven it in the rain or used the wipers. While at Supercheap I figured I should grab a new set of blades for it, because I have no idea when the previous owner last changed them, and it's only $20-30 for a set of wiper blades right?
I couldn't believe it was almost $35 for each side, especially considering the passenger side blade is barely more than half the length of the driver side blade.

Anyways, I turned to eBay and there are complete sets to be had on there for about $30 but they are all brands I've never really heard of. I've generally stuck with Tridon blades and I don't want to get something made with dodgy rubber that will scratch my windscreen. So, can anyone offer any feedback on good or bad brands that are floating around on eBay? Has anyone had a bad experience with cheaper blades?
