My wipers lasted for years in the Midwest US, with just occasional wiping of the blades and windshield with some rubbing alcohol if I noticed streaking.

Pros: lasted for years, minimal streaking

While the blades weren’t great, they were skipping across the windshield, especially in lighter rain. The tension was WAY off and after the tech adjusted it, I’ve been pretty solid the last 8 months. It works with the washer fluid or a car wash just fine.

Pros: pretty solid after adjustment, works with washer fluid
Cons: weren't great initially, skipping across windshield

I just bought the Bosch icons for my elantra. I bought the right side a few months ago as that one needed to be replaced badly. And I knew the left one would need replacing very soon so I got one tonight. The right one went on no problem however the left one's cover won't stay locked down when I place the wiper on the windshield. It kept popping out of place. I could tell there was an issue as it didn't swivel very well like the right side does. When I took it off I could see a little plastic piece kept bending out of place.

Pros: right side installed easily
Cons: left side cover won't lock, kept popping out, didn't swivel well, plastic piece bending
Vehicle: Hyundai Elantra

the Bosch from fcp, but the ones it said fit did not allow the cap to go back on as the opening was shaped for Valeo wipers. I returned them then found some Bosch at a junkyard barely used and grabbed the caps that fit the Bosch ones. Now I have two pairs of caps with different shaped slots so I can run either. What an annoying learning curve for such a cheap part.

Cons: cap fitment issue, annoying learning curve
