I heard that you cant beat OEM Nissan wiper blades. I read somewhere that OEM Nissan, Honda, and Toyota wiper blades are of excellent quality.

I got some TripleEdge ones from Walmart and have had excellent results from them.

I have also had good luck with the triple blade from wal*mart. Their not to expensive and they will last a long time.

Another excellent product for rain is "Rainx" windshield washer fluid it costs only about $1 more but you must drain your existing fluid, I use it on both my vehicles, it actually leaves a film on the windshield that repels the water. It works really well everyone I know who's tried it won't use anything else. Bosch wiper blades are good too but they are expensive, but it rains ALOT here

I have the Bosch on my car currently, Im not happy with them at all, I clean them every so often, but yet they still skip and make lots of noise compared to OEM wipers.

OEM Rain-X rocks! I treat the windshield with it and at freeway speeds I turn of the wipers and the water just runs right off!

I use the triple edge as well. They come with a treatment (silicone I believe) that you put on the blade. I use them and rainx, when it is pouring I still have complete visibility every time the wipers go by it looks litterally like my windshield is dry. They work better than that bosch I used to have and are comparable to piaa. I make sure I use quality blades because I have really poor vision so I need to be able to see in the rain.

Yeah I have OEM's and the Rain-X washerfluid. Its great. But the next time you wax your car, put some wax on your windshield and microfiber the haze off. Thats what I do. I did it to all of my windows and its wonderful. The water runs right off. I dont even put my wiper blades on the second setting anymore. It works great. Try it out, see for yourself.
