Rating 4.0

The wiper assembly on this car is one of the best of any car I’ve had. When the original blades started to get streaky, I did briefly try some michelin and rainx blades to replace the OEM blades, but found they were both a downgrade. Both were larger than OEM, which generated extra noise, and caught the wind when at speed so they would chatter and skip. Less than ideal especially in inclement weather.

I’ve been using OEM blades ever since. I typically replace the wiper blades in the fall, and then if I notice any issues with streaks in the spring I replace again.

This is my second winter with the car and OEM blades, and I’m not having any issues with the blades or fluid. If I do miss anything, the wipers and the winter fluid take care of the rest.

Pros: OEM: no issues, good performance
Cons: Michelin/RainX: noisy, chattered, skipped
Vehicle: Mazda 3

MICHELIN Wiper blades

I have used the Michelin Wiper Blades from Costco and don\u2019t find anything wrong with them. I use them on 3 vehicles and get at least a year out of them. I think they are a great value.

Pros: great value

It rained today and I noticed the blades only make contact with 1/2 the windshield. They are Rain-X Latitude so you can avoid them. The windshield just has too much curve for the blade.

Cons: poor windshield contact
Vehicle: MINI

I personally used Bosch on all my cars but I got the Rain X ones recently. Amazing in rainy weather, total ass for durability winter wise, they are already losing shape.

Pros: amazing in rainy weather
Cons: losing shape
