Wiper blades Bosch or Goodyear

While they're not the cheapest brand out there, they last forever. My last pair lasted almost 5 years before the rubber started separating from the blades.

I tried Trico and wasn't super happy with them. I didn't feel they fit as well as the OE wipers. They were a bit too loose and made noise, etc. I've been very happy with Bosch AeroTwin. Virtually identical to the OE wipers and the fit was perfect.

Finally swapped out noisy originals with Bosch Icon 24 OE + Bosch Icon 19 OE. Huge improvement. Why did I put up with the old ones for so long? Note - Icons come in three styles as referenced up thread, A or B versions will not work. The OE Version comes with multiple adapters, out of the box it fits PTB 19mm wiper arms. 2019 Jetta uses 16mm PTB (aka narrow PTB). So just pry the #2 adapter off the blade, click on the #4 adapter, and install on the wiper arm. Voila - silent wipes!

lesson learned - Bosch ICON 365 climax and bring a flat head.. i love them they work silently and dont streak. Seriously VW and their bloody not standard wiper arms.

I ended up with some Bosch all season wiper blades. They were like $50 for the pair, but are considered premium.

After initial spray and clearing, they really do work nice, look like the factory design and have that slight wind ridge for holding tight as you drive.

Bosch Pure Vision is what I use, they always last me a year or more. I'm on the Gulf Coast in Texas and other brands of blade usually only last me a few months.

The driver's side one on mine bounces at the bottom sometimes. What I did was replace it with a Bosch 22" one vs. the OEM 24" size. That solved it for me. Additionally, it annoys me that the passenger-side wiper travels smack into my field of vision, creating an annoying line on the window in the rain that makes visibility tough sometimes. Really poorly though-out wiper design.

Go to Canadian Mutha Fucka and get the Bosch ones from behind the till in the automotive section. They come in a package with both blades. They are OEM material. 40 Bux for both.

I put Bosch Icons on both my Tig and MINI and am not pleased with them on either vehicle. Multiple, thin streaks arc'ing across the full length of wiper swing in simple rain/mist is unacceptable for the price you pay for them...
