Wiper blades Bosch or Trico

I just put the Trico blades on. They are not a direct connect, meaning that it won't just snap in. However, using the supplied adapter was no issue and to me, these are way better than stock blades. No issues lifting even at higher speeds.

So I stopped at the closest auto zone and got some Bosch Icon blades I think they were. Easily the best set of blades I've ever owned. So far they have gone through three snow storms and I don't have a complaint yet.

My Jetta has Bosch Evolutions which are only starting to streak after almost 4 years.

I like Trico blades. Every time I try out a different brand, I always find myself going back to Trico completely satisfied.

I switched to the Bosh Icon. they were more expensive, but I haven't had to change then in two years and they are still going strong.

Make sure the wiper blades themselves aren't warped. Mine were when I took delivery of my 2014 GTI. My driver side one kept leaving thick streaks behind at eye level (to the point where visibility was dangerously bad at night in the rain). I first tried cleaning the blades off but that didn't help. When I got a closer look the next day I noticed that the blade itself looked slightly twisted and bowed inward at a certain spot. I had my dealership replace the wiper blade and the problem went away completely.

The Bosch Icon are cool. I happened to notice a buy one get 50% another sale at AutoZone. I snatched a pair for the R and a pair for the GTI.

I always just buy a pair of the OEM Bosch blades from either Amazon or Ebay. Whichever is less $$. I think I typically get the front blade set for between $25-30, sometimes with shipping.

IMO Bosch makes a good set of blades.

mine does it too, and ICONs are NOT crap, they are very good (usually) I think the new ones are crap, however. my dad has an 06 VE Jetta with original wipers and they work better than my new ones.
