Wiper blades OEM Mazda or OEM BMW

I bought the oem BMW wipers from fcp euro it\u2019s lifetime warranty and never had issues with it

I spend the little extra money and get Genuine BMW ones from the dealership. They fit and last longer than aftermarket.

Went to BMW and $68 later I installed them in the parking lot in under 20 seconds total. It’s worth the money, and they’re some of the best blades I’ve used.

Apart from a few sets of tires, a new set of awkwardly large wiper blades each year and one 12V battery all it has needed was some very basic maintenance: change brake fluid (same as doing regular brakes - nothing special) and greasing the caliper slider pins. Still on the original pads and rotors.

Whatever stock ones are on my Mazda CX-30. 3 years now and still like new.

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.

Mazdas wiper blades suck and constantly get recalled

Dealership/official Mazda service basically gave me a middle finger. So new car, issue since first rain. They said that they've put a replacement rubber for free and that it's normal for it to make sounds. Nothing more they can do :D In case you're wondering, it's acceptable that your new car even with replaced blades sounds like 30y old rusty from your local junk yard. Such a shitty experience. My first and last Mazda. It's too much work apparently to replace the wiper itself under warranty or at least investigate (since the issue is gone at higher speeds >> could indicate faulty spring/wrong pressure).

I am currently riding passenger in a terrestrial downpour in Florida. The highest speed if these wipers is a joke. I have had many cars before this and this “high speed” was a lot closer to the mid speed of my previous vehicles. Super disappointed Mazda thought this was enough.

The wipers are dog shit, persevered since around 2k, the noise is unbearable.
