Owner reviews for wiper blades

I bought $20 wiper blades from Toyota. I will never buy other wiper blades again.

THEY WERE THE FACTORY BLADES. I can't tell you how amazed I was that the stock blades lasted over 100,000 miles and 7+ years, in a snowy climate.

Also use and prefer BOSCH for my wiper blades. No complaints, so far.

I don\u2019t know about Starline or Valeo, but I do know that Bosch are the longest lasting wiper blade I\u2019ve ever had.

I would always go Bosch. Last longer in my experience.

I buy Bosch for my 2017 GTI every time and they fit better than any other brand. My wipers “hide” when not in use and all other brands always still show. The Bosch set takes 2 minutes to swap out.

I bought my set of PIAA blades (their frameless model) back in 2014 for my r56 and they are still working like they are new. Mind you, there is a bit of dead zone in the bottom end of the passenger side because the passenger blade can’t touch the glass due to the shape. I got used to that and it doesn’t bother me at all.

I had a pair of Rain X blades, and they streaked a lot. Returned them for the Icons, never looked back.

After cleaning my windshield (wet magic eraser + invisible glass) and replacing my old wipers, I noticed my new wipers are still streaking. The streaking got a little bit better between the old and new wipers, but it's still bad enough where it can be distracting in the rain. Coating the windshield with rainx afterwards didn't really make a difference for the wipers (made driving in the rain better though). I've recently noticed that the streaking only occurs in the return stroke. When I put my wipers in service mode (where it swings forward and stays), there's almost no streaking. There's also a "clean" wipe in the middle of the blade where the wiper is actually is doing its job, flanked by two wide bands of streaking. Mazda CX-30, rainx wipers if that makes a difference

I have used Bosch Icon on most of my vehicles but my last one they were no good.
