the stock wipers are garbage, I bought my car used with 12k miles and they were already falling apart. I went for the Bosch Icon wiper blades, from everything I read they are one of the best available for our cars. We don’t get snow here, but they are amazing in rain, definitely the best wipers I’ve ever had on any car I’ve owned. Totally silent.

Pros: amazing in rain, totally silent

Cons: stock wipers garbage

Vehicle: Kia

Mileage: 19312 km

I have personally never felt compelled to buy OEM blades for any of my cars, and have always used Bosch premium replacements, which I believe are far superior.

Pros: far superior

Bosch is a few bucks more, has an infinitely better mounting mechanism, and works like a charm.

I had to cut up the adapter of Bosch Envision's but they worked really well and lasted almost a year, sucks that there is no silicone wipers that has fit these cars so far.

Pros: worked really well, lasted almost a year

Cons: required adapter modification
