Best replacement wiper blades

Need to replace blades , opinions? Was thinking bosch

I like Bosch. Basically, I like any of the frameless styles. In fact in some of my recent vehicles, frameless are the only ones that worked at all.

Bosch icon. They hold up real well here in Texas and we get a lot of heat and sun. On my Suburban they are needing to be replaced and are currently five years old. They still work better at their current age then the stock ones did when new. I am about to put them on my 3500.

Buy right from the dealer.

Buy right from the dealer.

Why?
Are they proportionally higher priced like everything else?

I had a Bosch Micro Edge fail on me during a rain shower with my 96 3500. Driver's side blade completely fell apart - frame and rubber... had to pull over to a store parking lot and swap the passenger blade to the driver's side in the rain so I could see. Haven't bought anything except Anco AeroVantage since. I had used Anco before, but they became harder to find and I tried the Bosch for a while. After the OEM blade, my 05 has only had Anco AeroVantage.

I've had excellent luck with the Bosch Icons down here in Texas. In the Houston area, we get heat plus heavy tropical rain, and they perform well in both.

Those New wipers are Awesome, I've never seen wipers works so well With RainX, Even the RainX wipers with RainX are No match for the New Mopar wipers and RainX.

I had good luck with the Bosch for years but they changed something in the rubber compound a few years back in my opinion. Seth discovered the Anco Contour line. He and I tested a few sets, now we stock them here for employees and company vehicles.

Very satisfied with performance, price point and longevity..I am happy to get 6 months from a set and do not use Winter blades at all. So the poor things are in the frost, snow and dragging across ice during freezing rain events.

Part numbers end in "UB"...or "OE" for some GM vehicles...

Get the Goodyears at COSTCO, work good, last, they run specials every now and then.

Best blades I have ever owned are called SilBlades. You have to order them on line @ www.silblade.com. I previously used Bosch Icon and the Silblade brand has outperformed Bosch by a mile. They have a 5 year warranty. They are priced comparable to Bosch as well.

I've always known the OE Mopar blade to be Trico for years. Whatever came on my '14 Durango was incredible- lasted 1.5 years. Typically I go budget with blades, but I have sprung for Bosch Icon and was satisfied. I've used the basic Trico and Anco blades regularly and have been satisfied too.

I went with Bosch and I'm very happy with there performance!

I'll have to try those on my next truck. But I've been using PIAA silicone wipers for years on all my vehicles and they have been fantastic. My OCD won't stand for a streak, squeak, or chatter, and I generally get a year out of these. Put them with Rain-X fluid and that's all you'll ever need.

I thought we weren't supposed to use the rain-x fluid because it destroyed the washer fluid pump. Was that wrong?

 

[Mikey-KE7LBB]

Is there one that will survive all the cracks and pitting of my 2009's OE windsheild??

 

[Cummins12V98]

Sounds like it's time to spend the $100 and get a new windshield! ^^^^^

Because they LAST and wipe clean.

I HATE RainX. I tried it ONCE. Works fine until the rain is very light then it streaks unless you constantly add the juice to the window.

Best all around fluid IMHO is 20/10. This is with at least 1 million miles commuting in NW WA.

I use the rain x fluid in all my vehicles and love it. I do not use it in my Ram. I have read and been told by the dealer it affects the level sensor. It coats it then you get a dash message that washer fluid is low even though it may be full.
