Windshield wiper replacement?

[Darksteel165]

All you guys running 22" blades, book in store called for 24" for my '20 Ram, so that's what I bought.
When I got home one box must have been a return and had a 26" blade inside. I mounted them, 24" on pass, 26" on drive, work fine and don't hit anything.
ymmv.....

Whatever works for you.
I'm still using oem but as long as they aren't sliding off the glass or hitting when stopped it should be fine. It's not like they criss cross like small car wipers.

Whatever Costco has.

cheap + replace often is better than expensive + keep until they’re falling off In this case.

Use F-11 wax/sealer on my windshield and hardly needs wipers at all unless it rains really hard!

Sale on Amazon $12.99 for two 24" wipers. 4.5 stars with over 10k reviews.

Just put on Bosch Icons only blades ive used since they came out. Holy crap do they chatter going back to factory

I just bought some blades 2 days ago. I had to get them because the OEM passenger side had a chunk missing out of it. Kinda sucks because I've never used them in the rain, only when using wiper fluid to clean the windshield. I picked up some Bosch Evolution because the icons were out of stock and I had some Autozone rewards to use up. Once these are gone, I;ll go back to the cheapo's if I'm still living in AZ where the sun kills them before usage does.

I get the aero wipers from Amazon. You even get one refill with the order. So I change them about every three months. Can’t beat the price

I like the OEM ones over others I have tried.

Kind of like the OEM brake pads. I've had such good luck with the OEM I do not see a need to try anything else.

My truck was produced in Jan 2019 and still has the original wipers. They are now over 4 years old, and still wipe my windshield squeaky clean after a couple of passes.

I live in a place that doesn't rain often and most of my wiper use is to clean the windshield, still, I've never had a set of wipers work so well for so long on any of my vehicles.

When I will eventually need a new set of wipers, I will be buying the factory ones.

Must be because you don't get much rain. Factory blades only lasted 6 months on mine. My Bosch blades are about 2 years now.

Absolutely that is a fact. But I do compare it to all my other vehicles, including our newer Toyota and new Suburban, and all the other vehicles we have had in the past. None of them offered this type of blade life at this performance level, even in the same conditions. Honestly think I must have gotten a rare magic set of them and my next set of OEMs won't be so good.

I'm due for another set, anyone try out the Bosch Night Vision series yet?

Night vision has evolved. - Bosch Auto Parts - Liferay DXP

Bosch Night Performance wiper blades reduce blur and glare, clearing away rain at just the right angle. They’re so adapted to the dangers of driving on stormy nights, it’s almost as if those who drive with them are too.

Edit: Found my own answer, the ICON are still the more durable option.

When choosing the right wiper blade for your vehicle, there are many factors to consider. But perhaps the most important factor is the quality of the blade.

Gonna go with the minority here.. OEM WIPERS.

 

[ALT_F13]

I've tried multiple wiper blade brands, including Michelin's from Costco. They don't work in the same way as OEM ones. They make noize and they don't wipe as dry as OEM.
I'm using OEM wipers now, they are not very expensive - ~$25 each on eBay. However, Mopar doesn't offer wiper refills like other manufactures, so I will try generic wiper refills on OEM wipers and see how it goes.

I bought these after @theblet's recommendation. I kept my OEM blades and installed the refills in them. I prefer the OEM wipers because the j-hook mount is much slimmer and does protrude up as high as aftermarket blades

Replaced my old noisy wipers last weekend. I had a set of 24" AmazonBasics that I got for $9 for a pack of 2 back in November. It's doing pretty well and quiet. It's been raining all week. I tend to replace my wipers about once a year, or when it starts getting noisy.

Yea, oem wipers are more slim looking. How they working so far? Mine usually last about 6 months. Not changing them as frequently

I've been running the same pair of Icons for 2 years. They're still going.

I have never noticed the milage or time intervals for wiper replacement. I just have a set or two on hand from Costco and change when needed.
