Can you get much more than a year out of your wipers? On the one hand your
wipers aren't called upon to move the weight of snow that ours are, on the
other hand Florida does get significant rain storms. Plus all the sun you get
has to be hard on 'em.

I think I mentioned some time ago that I was consistently getting OE brand
wipers from RA as inventory closeouts for pennies on the dollar. There seemed
to be a constant flow of the things into their system. Many that I got were
branded NAPA wipers but were Bosch or one of the other major brands, not junk.
Any more I just get the Mercedes ones for the MBs, as they’re not all that bad
considering how often they have to be replaced. I think the W210 wipers are
around $18 my cost, so I just keep one on the shelf.
