Best Wiper Blades

Rain X Weatherbeaters. Cheap, and work great here in Cali.

 

Interestingly, Toyota sells OEM beam wipers in Canada:

 

Yea, they've had them for years, but only for the Avalon (I think he new Tundras have them too). Unfortunately, the mounting brackets are different, or so I was told buy the guys at the dealer, so they only have a couple applications for them. These OE beam blades are made by Valeo though, so the same blades can be bought on tirerack with universal connectors that will fit tacos.

 

got a good test on the rain x fusion blades i got from wal-mart for 14 a piece i think, drove from montana to washington with some rain and snow and they did great no streaking

 

Costco Goodyear assurance usually run for 8 dollars a piece and often go on sale BOGO

 

I use rain-x and they work good my second set a year each.

 

I use the rainex blades, they seem to last the longest for me. I am really picky over my wipers, and if they barely start to streak, I am replacing them. I had the bosch blades, but they would start streaking in less than 2 months, my rainex blades last about 4-5 months


they will actually do the job a lot longer, but I HATE streaks, and whenever they even hint at some streaks it bugs me enough to get new ones.....I know I replace them more than needed

 

Throw on some CRL TPC16 and forget having to use your wipers for rain when going above 30mph.

I got the Goodyear from Costco and returned. The drivers side was streaking right in my line of sight. I now have the RainX Latitude from WalMart. So far so good.

 

Revival anymore opinions or insight on your blades??

 

This.

The Latitudes don't seem to last quite as long as the Icons, but they both work really well.

 

Stock Toyota wiper refills plus a good coat of Rain-X on all the windows. Another thing I'll mention is make sure your wiper arms are torqued down correctly. I had a streak on my passenger side that stayed no matter what blades I used. Finally got the ambition to pop off that little plastic cover at the base of the arm and retorque the nut. Now no streaks.

The Goodyear blades from Costco suck, they are a bitch to remove when it is time to replace.

 

I don't know how Rain X did so well in the poll, I had them, they didn't last long, I'll never buy them again! Thinking of going with the Bosch icons next.

 

I bought refills from dealer first time and wish I had done same the second. The original arms with refills worked best.

 

I buy TRICOs and replace them every 6 months or so, even the best wipers don't last that long. This way I always have pretty new blades.

 

I had the SAME THING happen with my Rain-Xs (on my BMW)...I think it was about 4 months or so and the passenger side wipes like crap. I've had them on for about 6-7 months now.

 

The Toyota one's offer the best bang for the buck in my opinion. Wiper blades have gotten so expensive it's just another way for the aftermarket world to rape us.

 

OEMs have been the only ones I've been using, but I have to change them every year. I'm going to give the Bosch Icons a try...

 

Michelin wipers have been doing a pretty good job for me. Sticking with them for now.

 

Anybody noticed it's hard to find replacement inserts, with the exception of NAPA the only choice at AutoZone, Advanced, O'Reilly are complete frame and blade. I ended up getting just the inserts at Toyota.
