Reviews of OEM Mazda wiper blades

Whatever stock ones are on my Mazda CX-30. 3 years now and still like new.

Mazdas wiper blades suck and constantly get recalled

Dealership/official Mazda service basically gave me a middle finger. So new car, issue since first rain. They said that they've put a replacement rubber for free and that it's normal for it to make sounds. Nothing more they can do :D In case you're wondering, it's acceptable that your new car even with replaced blades sounds like 30y old rusty from your local junk yard. Such a shitty experience. My first and last Mazda. It's too much work apparently to replace the wiper itself under warranty or at least investigate (since the issue is gone at higher speeds >> could indicate faulty spring/wrong pressure).

I am currently riding passenger in a terrestrial downpour in Florida. The highest speed if these wipers is a joke. I have had many cars before this and this “high speed” was a lot closer to the mid speed of my previous vehicles. Super disappointed Mazda thought this was enough.

I've never owned a vehicle that didn't eventually come across a rain storm that required a pull over because the wipers cant keep up at some point you do just have to pull over and wait it out. Had one so bad in my Cx30 where visibility was so low it disabled all safety sensors and spit up a message on the dash to be careful since they were inactive.

driving on the highway on my CX-30 during a very sudden and heavy storm at night was a pretty scary experience for me. The whole time I was wondering - is everyone else seeing that little?

I just bought my 2024 and experienced my first heavy rain. It was difficult. I also noticed the wiper high speed wasn't nearly as fast as my previous cars. We get semi- frequent heavy rainstorms here, so it does bother me.

live in rainy portland, oregon they work perfect

The other 4 cars in the family all do better with heavy rain than the CX30 did when I got it. I did figure it out after a while. Step 1 re-bend the wiper arms by hand just a little so they have more firm contact with the glass ( old mechanic trick ), Step 2 Rain X the glass using the wipes not in the washer tank, Step 3 front defroster on cold. This works for me in Florida torrential downpours at 90 degrees, 80% humidity and 1/2 inch per hour rain rate while doing 65-70. Works way better now. I still use auto mode for wipers most of the time, but I do use high for anything over a light rain as they are still a little slow compared to the 2018 Escape, 21 Tahoe or even 87F150. My other Mazda is way better as far as wipers go.

They are definitely slower than my previous vehicle, but I haven’t found them unsafe
