Best Wiper Blades

I've had Rain X latitude and Bosch Icon's. I prefer the Icon's! I get about a year out of them before needing replacement which isn't bad.

 

I like to use Rain-X blades and Rain-X washer fluid. The combination has been good for me through many winters. Replace them about once a year.

 

How do you guys get a year out of wiper blades, after a few months mine start to streak and get crappy! I have had Bosch, rain ex and several other brands with the same results

 

The next time they start to streak wipe the blade with alcohol. It really helps.

 

Cheap ones. Replace every 3 months. ~$20/year. I've tried a lot of brands. Tried alcohol wipe. This works best for me.

 

Rain-X , replace them once a year

 

i got the bosch, on my second set and there great

 

Icon or Evolution How long did they last I got the Evolution and they are still OK. I got them because my cheap ones chattered. I just picked up the Icon's and will use them when the Evolution's go then I'll see if they are worth the extra $$.

 

I use too only use RainX or Michellins but I am happy with the stock ones on the Tacoma.

In one year I have only replaced the passenger side wipe and that is a year of ski trips and camping where I always used them.

 

Funny that I found this thread today, as I was just bitching about how the Goodyears from Costco are. Had em on for about 2 months, and already starting to streak. But they are cheap. I use Valeo on my BMW. OEM, and paid $20 for a pair from Amazon. Should have bought some for the Taco.

 

I put the same size on the drivers side as it calls far on the passenger. I kept getting a streak at the end of the wiper on the driver side. The shorter wiper does not have noticably less coverage and solved the streaking issue that I got on oem and replacement blades before.

 

Might have 2 try this. Very interesting. Thanks.

 

I put my Bosch blades on 1 1/2 years ago and they are still going strong!

 

Pulled the plug on some Rain X Latitude and used them today. Work like a champ with no streaks.

 

Have been using Trico universal refills (cut to fit blade only-set of 2 for about $6) from Advance Auto - getting pretty good life (6-8 months) with OEM arms. No one except Advance and NAPA seems to carry refills anymore - hate to replace arms when they are still in good shape.

 

Goodyear from costco chattered and streaked. Anco and rainx for me
