Ford stealerships here want $150 for a set of front wiper blades. Bosch only have the universal fit ones, so I had a look on the UK Amazon and eBay. The best deal I found was 23.51 pounds including postage to NZ, which is about $42 in our money. Can't even buy Supercheap wiper blades for that!
I can post a link if anyone's interested.

Tridon refills for me, <$20 (SCA) and replace every autumn. I also swapped to curveblades on my ute, I feel it gives some UV protection. Expensive upfront (paid around 38 each) but like I said, refills are under $20.

Welcome to the forum!
I've tried refills before, and the results weren't good. The blades didn't clear the water well at highway speeds, and they were squeaky. Maybe the refills are better now? Sent from somewhere using Tapatalk

finding cheap 26" refills is a challenge.
I've settled for the other two 19" with Kmart/BigW and in their auto section buying the Aunger blades 3pack for ~$7-9. peel out the blade and refit it to mine. Their universal 8-6mm types work well in the bosch arm.

The new blades arrived from the UK in less than a week. The adapter was different to the Ford one and had to be lined up carefully, but it fits perfectly.
They are such good wiper blades. Well worth the money!
