A lot of people go with cheapos because you replace them anyways but I always ran Bosch Icons on my vehicles and had good luck even in crappy WI winters. When I bought my 14th gen I gave the Rain X Silicone "AdvantEdge" a try and I'll go back to the Bosch Icons after this winter. Noticeable difference in how they held up. Maybe it's just the set I happen to pick up but they started shitting the bed about 2 snowfalls in.

So I'm going to get laughed at probably but I bought a pair for my son's car off of eBay. They were a knock-off brand so far they've been really good. $13.99 for the pair I figure at that price I could buy four pair and still be ahead when it comes to other high end, high priced blades.

Looks like price has dropped...

Local area store has a $5 buck off coupon on these limit (4) at a cost of $21.99 each. Ran Bosch Icons but around here the local auto part stores are ridiculous on pricing for the walk in consumer.

If you have the Ford Protect maintenance plan, they're included, along with quite a few other items.

@crazywayne311

If you have a smartphone with the FordPass app installed, a maintenance plan might possibly be listed under Service-->Warranty-->Ford Protect Extended Service Plans? (assuming if you purchased a maintenance plan, it was purchased from Ford/Ford Protect). I don't have a maintenance plan, so just guessing.....

Found this now I gotta figure out what they include. See the dealer screwed me big time and added stuff to make up for the trouble but I honestly can’t remember. One service advisor mentioned certain details for my 20k service but when I got to FORD the other service advisor was lost.

Rain X. Not the blades, but the liquid 'polish' that goes on the glass. I hardly use my wipers and they last a long time. It takes a few applications over a short period of time, but I only wipe it on a
Every few months. Especially with brand new glass.

303 Graphene works pretty well on glass as well. Not sure if the chemistry has changed since I last used it, but RainX seemed to destroy my wiper blades over time.

I've been using Rain X for decades. My blades last well. I clean the blades every time I wash the windshield, even with the gas station squeegee. Always good to try multiple products. I used another type of windshield protectant that did not work any better than rain x and it was quite a bit more costly. I don't remember the name.
