I have 2001 S Type. Need new wiper blades and need to know if I need to get original equipment from dealer. My husband replaced the original equipment with an awful squeaky kind that I cannot stand. Then got a quiet pair of Michelin but the right blade sits up too high on window, in other words, ugly. Dealer asks $43 eachbut if that is what I need to fit and be quiet I will. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

I got some $10 blades from my local parts shop. 22 inchI think. Kept the OEM ones to reblade them next year. You can just buy the rubber insert and keep the blade. I've done it in the shop parking lot with ym swiss army knife. This time I got lazy.
If your new blades are squeaking, you might look at polishing your windscreen with the usual suspects available at the local DIY shops. I polish mine about every 3 months to scour any rubber or pine tar residue off. Works amazing.

I had to get some myself because my blades were not washing enough rain away for me. I went to autozone and picked up some good ones for about 20 bucks. I luv them. I'm not certain but I think I had to get two different sizes...I do know but I almost let them slam back down on to the windshield...bad juju
