Wiper blades OEM Toyota or OEM Mazda

I’ve only been driving my 2024 for 22 months and 30,000 miles, still have the factory blades on, have not worn out at all. I apply rainX monthly, so the wipers don’t get used much

Buy the wiper blades from Toyota. They are better than most.

The factory blades have been by far the best I’ve tried.

They do last a long time. I use the OEM blades and very happy with them and I'm frugal.

I’ve been driving Toyotas for 40 years now and can attest to the durability of the OEM ones. I’ve tried Costco’s Michelin wipers (IIRC) and various other jobber wipers over the decades but won’t stray from the original OEMs now. It’s worth the extra money.

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.
