Best Windshield Wipers - Need Opinions

[yhzt’bird]

Hey guys, my truck is 5 months old and the OEM wipers are garbage already. I always keep my windshield RainX’d, but even with that, my wipers skip across the windshield even during heavy rain. It drives me crazy. What brands have you all tried and had good success with?

I use Michelin wipers from Costco with no issues. About $11 CDN each on sale.

Small tip for ya'll that I learned from my dad many, many years ago - when you replace wiper blades, keep the old ones in the vehicle .

I normally go with OEM, however I am trying Bosch currently. They are OK but I will go back to OEM low profiles again next time. You must ask for the low profile blades otherwise you will get regulars.

How this is one of those things you have to do a dozen times before you get right drives me nuts. Add this one to the list- don't let the AutoZone guy replace the blades for you. The guy who did mine meant well but I'm pretty sure the arms are not perpendicular to the glass any more.

The original set was dead silent, Rain-X were loud, and this dealer installed pair still aren't quite perfect

Bosch Icon. I change them out once or twice a year and they work great

the ones on my truck are still doing good. I recently replaced the ones on my wife's 2017 and my 2018 Explorer's and went with Bosch. Paid a little more but after having them they are worth the few dollars more in price.

Mine all of a sudden started streaking and smearing. They are the second set since ‘21.

Wow. Maybe I got a dud set?

Dunno

you park outside? Live down south?

I’m in north central Indiana
I park in my shop, so no UV sun damage

OEM was the only thing that I enjoyed on my 2013 F150. I tried two different Motorcraft sets on my '22 and neither worked well; noise, chatter, etc. I moved over to the RainX silicones and theyve been great. Current set has been on the truck for 18 months and still going strong. Ill replace them when they start streaking but theyve been well worth the added up front cost (25ish on amazon).

Had Bosch Icon on the 21 but reduced the blade length to 21". Wife is still using the Bosch Icons put on at the same time on her 19 Escape have heard no complaints.

Going into the 2nd year with Goodyear assent blades which are still working good on the 22. Also went to a 21" wiper blade on these.
