I have found that the honda inserts are worth the money. I am lead to believe they are made by Bosch...but cannot confirm. When I have used Bosch, they are very similar in wiping ability and durability. Pays to spend a little more and get Honda parts! =)

I put on a set of Trico Neoform blades on recently (got them thru wipers123.com - had a good rebate, too!) & they have worked great! Clipped right on the wiper arms with no problems. They have a package deal to replace all 3 blades on the Fit.

I just changed out the crap RainX blades that I got a while back and never liked... I was in AutoZone and paid through the nose for Teflon Shield Hybrid wiper blades and they work better than the originals and much better that RainX.... They had better outlast the car at the price I paid of $37.98 tax included, for just the ones for the windshield... I usually coat my windshields with RainX and not use wipers on the highway.
