Owner reviews for wiper blades

Michelin Guardian Hybrid Wiper Blade, often $6.99 on sale.

Chicagoland…Bosch Icon. They last 3-4 years.

Your new car should absolutely come with OEM wiper blades that allow you to replace the rubber part.

You get the little blade rubber inserts for way dirt cheap, I think it's like 7 or 8 bucks per blade, maybe less depending on the size. It can be a little fiddly to get em in some times, but I think the actual wipers are pretty good quality, so it's worth it to me to keep the oem blades, and get the replacement rubber.

I live north of Barrie and have been using rain-x blades for over 10 years. I find it's less about the blade itself and more about changing them out regularly. I recently put a set of rain-x quantums on a sportwagen and have been very happy with them so far.

OEM or Bosch Aerotwin

I use the trico perfect fits on both cars, works great

Bosch aerotwins

Full silicone blades are best against UV degradation and typically don't wear out if you keep the windshield clean/polished. I typically buy the PIAA silicone.

I just bought rainX advantage wiper blades to replace my worn out OEM blades. I got the correct lengths , but the connection piece on the rainX blades don’t fit the arms on the car. Even with the other attachment it doesn’t fit.

PSA: don’t get the Michelin blades sold at Costco. They fit fine in the arm but they seem to be taller and the wiper arms do not fit under the hood when turned off and hit the hood.
