Wiper Blades

**brettS4** · 02-13-2015, 11:21 AM

I figure this might be the only place to ask about wiper blades without getting a 'deer in the headlights' look. Most people don't think about wiper blades at all. Hell, some people don't use them at all, and peek through months of grime. But I'm fanatical about having a clean windshield, and I suspect most people here are, too.

Can anyone recommend a particular brand of wiper blade that works really well and has some durability? I have yet to find one that doesn't leave streaks across my windshield after a month.

I'm partial to PIAA Super Silicone Wiper blades:

The layer of silicone they put down with every stroke works great and makes seeing while driving in rain that much easier.

Pricey to buy new, but blade refills are on par with typical prices.

Triaco neo form. Have these on the xterra for a couple of months. Love them.

Valeo wiper blades are good also. I got mine off of Amazon.

I've been using the rain x line of blades lately and have had good luck with them.

This or OEM.

I tried doing research on wiper blades just last month because both of our cars needed them but there's so many with all of them having mixed reviews. I'm not the type to drop 50 bucks on a set but don't want the cheapest out there. I ended up with some Bosch Excel's (about $14/ea) and they seem to clear the water from the windshield sprayers while being quiet. We have some snow forecasted for Sunday/Monday so we'll see how they handle that.
