Wiper blades OEM Mazda or ANCO

I just bought ANCO E-26-M and E-18-M wipers. They seem to work really well in the cold weather so far.

I use Rock Auto and typically buy Anco Contour. High quality and long lasting at a great price.

I've been buying Anco Contours recently. They're dirt cheap on Rock Auto and perform well. I used to change out the "standard" ones i used 2x a year, the Contours are lasting over a year so far.

For the money anco contour are my go to.

live in rainy portland, oregon they work perfect

I've been using Anco C-24-SB Contour for the LH side and Anco C-21-SB Contour for the RH side. Those fit great and the only modification needed is to trim about 1/2" off the rubber spoiler next to the attachment point so it clears the wiper arm.

The other 4 cars in the family all do better with heavy rain than the CX30 did when I got it. I did figure it out after a while. Step 1 re-bend the wiper arms by hand just a little so they have more firm contact with the glass ( old mechanic trick ), Step 2 Rain X the glass using the wipes not in the washer tank, Step 3 front defroster on cold. This works for me in Florida torrential downpours at 90 degrees, 80% humidity and 1/2 inch per hour rain rate while doing 65-70. Works way better now. I still use auto mode for wipers most of the time, but I do use high for anything over a light rain as they are still a little slow compared to the 2018 Escape, 21 Tahoe or even 87F150. My other Mazda is way better as far as wipers go.

I've never owned a vehicle that didn't eventually come across a rain storm that required a pull over because the wipers cant keep up at some point you do just have to pull over and wait it out. Had one so bad in my Cx30 where visibility was so low it disabled all safety sensors and spit up a message on the dash to be careful since they were inactive.

driving on the highway on my CX-30 during a very sudden and heavy storm at night was a pretty scary experience for me. The whole time I was wondering - is everyone else seeing that little?

I just bought my 2024 and experienced my first heavy rain. It was difficult. I also noticed the wiper high speed wasn't nearly as fast as my previous cars. We get semi- frequent heavy rainstorms here, so it does bother me.
