What’s everyone doing for wiper blades these days?

My searches only netted sizing info.

I went to Autozone and got sticker shocked. Heck, I thought I was going to have to finance!

What is everyone using these days

Yeah they are crazy priced anymore. Trico or Rain-X brand are what I run with no issues.

Can’t beat these Michelin blades from Costco, $7.99 each


These Bosch are a decent price on Amazon as well. https://a.co/d/6Pi13tO

I bought a set of trico for my wife’s car a couple years back and want to say they barely made it through winter months. Rain x are solid

It's been awhile that I've used Trico, usually just stick with Rain-X. I see others using Bosch, but years ago I wasn't happy with them.

I bought a set of the Michelin before years ago when they were $5.99 at Costco. Solid blade for the price

Also I always coat the widow with rain x, most of the time you won’t even need to use the wipers.

I used Bosch Icons on my previous rides and they worked really well. They sucked on the Ram, though, so now I just use Rain-X and they work great. I'm about to Rain-X all the glass again so I just picked up a set of the Rain-X Truck and SUV blades to see how they do.

Same for me, but the blades on my Challenger were shredding. I picked Bosch PrimeACTIVE. No complaints about them but then don't feel they are special either. One reason for the sticker shock was due to my AutoZone stocking only complete arms, no blade refills. The other thing I noticed is none of the choices looked OEM. I kept my originals, plan to buy refills for them at a later date.

Some time before that, I think I ended up at Advance Auto parts when the blades on my Chevy decided to split. I think they had just refills for the old arms. Arms are usually good for a few refills before the springs or the finish starts to go.

Five years later and I'm still running the factory originals. It's amazing how well they work when you maintain them and clean them. I use denatured alcohol to wipe the blades clean about once a month.

They are still streak free and clear the windshield like they did when new.

I've always used Bosch Icons and will continue to do so.

After trying lot's of different brands and getting poor results, I asked a tech one time what they recommended. He said most all of the storm chasers use Bosch.
I tried them and they were great. I have put them on every vehicle I have owned since.
