The OEM wipers on my BTS are starting to leave a line on the center on my windshield so ill be replacing them soon. What wipers do you use or recommend? I hear good things about Bosch Icons. I had Rain X on my ‘17 and they were ok. Whats the best out there?

I've honestly been impressed with the stock ones, over 14 months old and still work as good as any wipers I've ever had.

I know it’s not helpful to the OP, but I agree (after 2 years)! I’m sure that’s because mine is garage-kept and rarely sees any winter weather.

Interested to hear everyone’s recommendations.

Whatever type you get, don't get then from the dealer. Tremendous markup on then. Go to someone like O"Reilly, Auto Zone, NAPA.

Had the Bosch Icons in my 4th Gen and they were excellent. I will be purchasing again for this truck once the stocks wear out.

Bosch icons on everything we drive.
I have been using the Bosch Icon's for a while now.
Yup. Bosch Icons for all cars. They work great in Upstate NY

+5. Bosch Icons seem to last the longest and work the best for us, at least in the midwest or central U.S. climates.

The Ram still has the factory blades (that seem to work well), as it is only 3 months old. The 2018 Grand Cherokee (wife's) has a set of Trico Ultras I just put on as an experiment.
Occasionally I give other blades a chance, but I seem to always come back to the Bosch Icons.

Just got some good pair of silicone wipers. They seem to last longer in heat.
