Wiper blades Tesla or OEM Volkswagen

this morning I went to local VW Dealership & received a new set of blades front and back. after doing a lot of driving today on roads and freeways both fast and slow in both hard rain and lighter rain\u2026the new blades, front and back are smooth as butter and very effective at sweeping away the water.

I’ve tried Bosch Icon and other models and brands and the best blades that work are the VW OEM, which cost the same as Bosch.

I've had my 2019 S since May, 2018. The original wipers wiped OK, but began to get noisy a few months ago. We just went into the rain season here, so I replaced them with new from a VW dealer in San Antonio TX. The new ones are dead silent and wipe cleanly and completely.

Another thing you might notice on your Tig is that every once in a while when you switch your car off or turn it on, the wipers will "twitch", basically just move a couple of millimeters up or down. It's to prevent them from sticking to the glass and baking on, in areas where you might not use your wipers for weeks of months at a time. It supposedly keeps the blade's edge in healthier shape.

The best experience I have made with the original wipers. I know, they are dearer than those in the aftermarket, but at least they clean 2 years without squeaking, skipping and so on. Those from the Mk4s can also be used on the Mk3.

I also lost the driver's side wiper at speed on the NJ Turnpike. The problem was a slightly bent (or misaligned) metal pin that holds the wiper blade to the arm. It was twisted slightly out of position and the wiper flew off, since the plastic cover no longer fit completely over the center of the blade. The solution was having my dealer twist the pin back into place.

You’ll look like a total idiot when the wiper blades turn on. Happens to me almost daily in my M3.

My Model Y wipers don’t clean the passenger side at the lowest and highest points in their sweep. They suck.

mine freeze up and to a terrible job.

When I picked up my M3, it was raining and did this from the moment I left the lot. I’ve cleaned the windshield (inside and out), but the streaks and haziness still appear when the blades activate. Perfectly clear when the wipers aren’t active. I was hoping that replacing the OEM blades would help, but after reading you had already done that, I’m not as hopeful.
