Obviously, no TX heat and garaged and not driven most of the time will affect their life, but 4 years is way more than I would expect given my recent experiences (and I'm not buying cheap wiper blades).
naw. on my dd i just replace it every 6-7months. that's the recommeneded replacement cycle anyway.

since my Z is garaged most of her life in a dry and ideal environment, the rubber does not rot or disintegrate. the refills probably work fine, but im just going to replace them since they are 4yrs old and i have a pair in my parts bin.
