Before I went on a ski trip last Christmas, I replaced the original
wiper blades on my '84 Scirocco (which regularly gets its butt kicked
by my friend's '85 5.0 liter 5-speed Mustang GT) with ANCO 2516 (rear)
and 2518 (front) replacement blades.  DON'T BUY THEM!  THEY AREN'T
WORTH SH*T!  When it rains, they leave streaks on the windshield worse
than my old rotting blades ever did.  They also leave black marks
across the windshield and especially at the endpoints of their travel.
The blade assembly is a cheap piece of stamped metal, flimsy and
they're probably going to fall apart at then end of this week's
storms.  I'm sure the decomposing wiper blade is going to separate
from the arm at any time.  I saved the old blade assembly (made by
SWF?  Bosch?) and bought some Bosch blade refills at a ridiculous
price from the VW dealer.

Bottom line:  ANCO SUCKS!!!  I can't believe they sell that sh*t.  Has
anyone else experienced these awful wiper blades?
