Question Who makes a good wiper blade?

Nothing fancy. Just a decent working wiper blade. Thanks, John.

Bosch has my vote. A little pricey sometimes, but they work great...

I just replaced mine for the first time last week. I was pleasantly surprised that the mopar replacements from the dealer were $7 a piece. They installed in about 15 seconds and have no streaks or noise. Very pleased.

I've tried rain-x, anco, bosch, and o'reilly's house brand, they all work about the same to me. I got the full replacement arm though. Not just the refills. Down here in texas, wipers are only good for about 1 year cause of the sun.

Put a set of Bosh on a month ago and they work great. Purchased the whole replacement arm and blade took all of two minutes to install both arms.

I just put on Bosch blades. They work great but I may try the "triple edge" silicone blades next time.

In snow country check the wiper arm for pressure against the windsheild. Snow & Ice can be real hard on wipers first thing after a snow. We all have done it, get it and expect the wipers to move 12" of snow. Not a good idea for the wiper arms and blades.

Its that time of year again!

I have them on mine, and don't care for them. The silicone blade deposits itself on the glass and causes the rain to bead up, kind of like Rain-X when it's going bad.

I've tried different types, have come to prefer Trico (?) as they're readily available and work well enough. I've been trying out the teflon blades, and they don't seem to oxidize as quickly and you can leave them in a bit longer if desired, but blades still seem to do best if replaced every 6 to 9 months. Wipers last longer, replace them when they get too loose. In a rainy climate if you keep the RainX fresh you can get by with less than very good wipers, I notice that I typically use the lowest setting or none at all on the highway, otherwise don't bother as old RainX is worse than bare glass.

someones joking about the mopar stockers weren;t they?/??? 7,777 miles on truck and drivers side has a split in the blade and where the two meet in the middle overlap area is a big smudge, truck gets washed enough, rains at least once a week anyway.... I don't do anything abnormally harsh to kill the blades but here I sit wondering which to get..... well know I'm not getting stock replacement from mopar, take me a while to trust them.

I had the Bosch on mine, always bought Bosch for other vehicles, but ended up putt'in the mopar ones back on. Mopar ones work better and there cheaper.
