I love Bosch wipers, personally. After reviewing the instructions for OEM replacement it seemed like a giant PITA, so I will probably go with Bosch on this vehicle, too.

Pros: loved performance

Vehicle: Honda Pilot

It's gotta be Bosch Icon. I've used a lot of different wiper brands over the years, but these are by far the best.

Yes, they're pricey, but you'll be replacing them less often.

Pros: best performance, less frequent replacement

Cons: pricey

Vehicle: Honda Pilot

Most OEM wipers suck in winter conditions, especially icy ones. Those of us that actually live in the mountains replace wiper instantly, I prefer Bosch Icon blades.

Cons: OEM wipers suck

Bosch has wiper blades specifically for the rear window. Bought off Amazon for $13. Preforms better than anything else I’ve tried so far.

Pros: performs better

I got the Bosch ones and I hate them. They’re worse than the OEMs. They skip and don’t get the top part of the drivers side. I’ve had them a year now and they aren’t better.

Cons: skip, don’t get top

I just got new Bosch blades in the fall and I’m in need of a replacement set already. They suck.

Cons: need replacement already
