Owner reviews for wiper blades

Michelin Stealth blades work well on Mk4s.

I ran a Porsche 993 as a daily driver and people would go wtf when I told them that Porsche wiper blades were $77 (worth it though as they worked well) etc

I have had mine on my Ranger for my 3rd winter in Maine. Great blade.

I like Trico blades. Every time I try out a different brand, I always find myself going back to Trico completely satisfied.

Took me 10 seconds to install them. Easiest blades I've ever installed on a car!

I used the rain-x wipers last year and they were great at clearing snow and ice, and they leave rain-x behind on your windshield. I'm buying them again this year.

I switched to the Bosh Icon. they were more expensive, but I haven't had to change then in two years and they are still going strong.

Make sure the wiper blades themselves aren't warped. Mine were when I took delivery of my 2014 GTI. My driver side one kept leaving thick streaks behind at eye level (to the point where visibility was dangerously bad at night in the rain). I first tried cleaning the blades off but that didn't help. When I got a closer look the next day I noticed that the blade itself looked slightly twisted and bowed inward at a certain spot. I had my dealership replace the wiper blade and the problem went away completely.

I found direct replacements at Advance Auto...Michelene Ultra Stealths. Kind of pricey as I recall but I'm happy.

One day when driving on the Tollway in Chicago in light rain, I noticed one wiper blade starting to come off the arm. When I got home I discovered that the push-in clip was not holding the wiper with enough force to keep it in place. In my opinion, the manufacturing of the clip was not nearly as good as that of the OEM and could not be trusted.
