HAS ANYONE OUT THERE LOCATED WINTER WIPER BLADES FOR A 2007 AND NEWER TAHOE? AFTER RETURNING A SET OF 22" ANCO WINTER BLADES, I'VEREAD SEVERAL THREADS ABOUT '07 AND NEWER WIPER BLADES BEING DIFFERENT, NOT THE CONVENTIONAL HOOK/LATCH STYLE, BUT NO PART NUMBERS FOR WINTER BLADES. HELP! I THINK THE NEW STYLE '07 AND NEWER GM PICKUPS HAVE THE SAME BLADES. muttyz70@hotmail.com

Do a quick search on the forum - it's there.
Michellan and Python make them - $14 per side... I got mine at Walmart but have seen them at Advance Autoparts also (for more $$$ of course).

THE MICHELIN IS NOT A CONVENTIONAL RUBBER BOOTED WINTER WIPER BLADE, CORRECT? IT'S AN ALL SEASON BLADE, RIGHT? ANY INPUT ON IT'S PERFORMANCE IN SNOW AND ICE? THANKS.

Funny you should ask about snow performance... I just came back from toying around in our new 1"+ of snow.... I have a Michelin arm/blade on the D/S and the factory arm/blade on the P/S and the Michelin was far superior.
The new arms/blades are all plastic - no metal at all. The Winter blades (Anco, etc) use rubber to cover the metal components that freeze. No metal, no freeze.
This is just an unprofessional opinion from an untrained person.

I've used the Anco or Trico winterblades for years and loved them. Since they are a little stiffer than normal blades, they miss the lower right corner on the passenger side. The factory blades suck in the winter with any ice and/or snow. As soon as my original blades wear out (19 mo and counting), I'm going to see if I can transfer the attachment detail to a winterblade.
Haven't seen the Michelin yet, will have to check out.

I have 6500 miles on the OEM blads with my first snow fall today and they worked great. They even cleared the right hand side of the truck where everyone says they miss.
