We only use original equipment blades also. This week RIM proposed we stock 9 different numbers(2 each) of advantage blades we've never sold. I thought RIM would only recommend parts we have sold. :o

We rarely messed with the so called good blades that they are going to be offering the buy 1 get 1 on in March. Seems to me that these are universal and will require additional tech time to install. To top it off they are only going to reimburse us the cost of the blade no mark up. Sounds fair to me, more tech time and no mark up. Gotta love that great GM feeling. The other comment made on the National retail plan was the fact that they stated the OE blades are a little pricey. HHHHMMM think about that GM maybe it is time to realign the prices on the OE blades to be more competitive instead of messing with the universal blades.

Why?
That would make sense.

We are not partaking in the "promotion." The advisors and warranty/claim admin scoffed at the headache. My wiper blade sales is 4% higher than region and I only sell the OES blades.
