Wiper Blade Replacement Recs

[Shotgun76]

Looking for replacement front and rear wiper blade recs; looking for performance/ability to handle splattered bug juice in warmer months and snow/ice in winter. Willing to spend for a better blade. Thanks.

Anco makes a decent blade. For snow and ice get a winter blade.

Winter blades are the same as summer they just have a cover to block ice build up. Any blade is good just clean you blades once a week or so. Dirt is like sandpaper in the blades. Do not use RainX its sucks at night.

I would buy any major brand before I bought another set of Motorcraft from Ford. Wiper blades are another victim of value engineering. The ones I was sold were nowhere as nice as the ones that came on it from the factory.

I bought these. They are fantastic, the best I've tried so far:

True winter blades have the boots on them. They work real well in snow and stuff. The one without the boot will pack snow under the arm and raise them off the windshield and leave you with a windshield you can't see out of. Big difference between the two.

Thanks for the recommendation...and with the 25% off coupon right now, how can you go wrong? I've ordered a set to put on this fall.

I like Rain-X blades. For my vehicle, I get a great water repellant effect with them.

When only the best will do.

It doesn't matter here. They only last one season, no matter how much you spend.

My truck is parked outside 100% in NC and MI. The OEM garbage lasted 6 months on my F150. The ICONS are still good at almost 2 years. My Expedition is garaged 10 months a year. The first set of ICON's went 3 full years.

+1 to Bosch Icons FTW.

I've used Bosch ICON, Rain-X, Ford brand, TRICO, and more.
None lasts more than a year here, because of grit and extreme heat. And you are paying for 3 3-piece sets, for brand names.
The key is the material. I find silicone lasts longer here. The coating is a plus.
After researching I find these to be long lasting and great cleaning and wiping. They also form a waterproof coating on the glass surface, allowing rainwater to automatically flow away:

I like the Bosch icons a lot too. I went 2” longer than stock on the driver’s side and it’s prefect.
