Wiper blades ANCO or OEM Volkswagen

On my red Kia hatchback..... I have had nothing but pure success with these ANCO 14 series blades from RockAuto. [streak free perfect wipe](https://streamable.com/72g6cs)

OEM VW wipers are the best choice IMO. They might be a bit spendy but they last a long time and fit perfectly.

Lately I've been using the Anco Contours because they are $13 for a set on rockauto and seem to be a great blade.

VW OEM. Same price, fits without adapter

I just bought ANCO E-26-M and E-18-M wipers. They seem to work really well in the cold weather so far.

OEM VW. Price is the same or lower and they fit without any adapter

I use Rock Auto and typically buy Anco Contour. High quality and long lasting at a great price.

12,000 miles, 9 months on my 2023 ID.4. The factory wipers are definitely done. That's not awful, but definitely not great considering I live in Colorado and we had a pretty dry summer.

The problem is that Anco wiper blades are 100% cheap junk that doesn't give you the required adapters to attach the wiper to the car. It's absolutely asinine that there is no adapter included. You can't buy the adapter separately either, so I don't know what you are supposed to do with these. I would return them if possible.

I’ve had my car for 6 months. It’s loud on the return wipe, like it’s there is not enough water so it stutters. It happens regardless of how much water is on the glass. I had a MK7 and it was silent. Its happened since day 1, I’ll start by changing the blade and see if that is the issue.
