Owner reviews for wiper blades

I got the Trico Maxx for the front and rear wipers of my CX-5 and have been pretty happy with them.

I just picked these up a few days ago and have been really impressed with them.

PIAA super silicone. I live in the PNW and have been using them for 8 years. Replace them every 2 when they start to get streaky. Whisper quiet, never dry out, leave a silicone coating in your window to encourage beading - what more could you want?

the Bosch icon blades are really good.

If you want good wiper blades, go to an auto parts store and buy some Bosch blades.

I add a third vote for Bosch ICONs. Great blades that last quite some time

I also live in Canada. I get the Bosch ICON blades that you can get from Canadian Tire. It's like 50 bucks for both and they're better than OEM. Usually get at least 2 -3 years out of them in streak free condition, depending on how bad the winters are.

But to the guy who said OEM wipers aren't as good? Well, you're wrong. I've only had to put 3 total sets of wipers on this car in almost 5 years. They work through snow and ice and heavy rain. They are just good wipers and even cheaper than the fancy ones at Walmart.

The rubber may be more stiff than the manufacturer's original wiper blades were. So the spring is not strong enough to keep them against the glass. This is why I never, ever buy Bosch or Trico blade replacements.

My factory blades were crap when I bought the car, I think it sat on the lot to long. So I replaced them with Bosch Icons, but those were cracking in less than 4 months (4K miles), so I’m back on new OEM wipers.
