I bought mine a few days ago from this website: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170739788695
It's pretty cheap. I should have it within the next couples days. How much are they selling it at Costco?

Also, Autozone has a special sale on the Rain X latitude wiper blades; buy one get the other at 50%. You can ask Justin on how to mod it so you can use both sets. lol

$7.99??? That sounds like a lot of work to me. If you can get to fit, that would be awesome.

I usually buy stuff from this website and these are their prices: http://www.bavauto.com/shop.asp

Installed the Goodyear blades from Costco around a month age. You have to use the 22" blades for the passenger side. They work well and for $8 bucks each you can't beat them. The connecting pieces are included.

Don't go cheap on wiperblades, you will regret it quickly when they start to rattle and squeak. Its realy annoying. And then there is also the safety, nothing worse then blades that don't do their work when you need them most.

OEM wipperblades are usually the best, Or Bosch who makes them for this the E60 if i am not mistaken. But don't be mistaken there can be difference between the aftermarket Wipers from BOSCH and the OEM's. For instance the type of rubber used can be different.

I use Bosch on mine and just installed Bosch Icons on my daughter's car. I like them a lot.
