What's a good windshield wiper?

Im sick of buying wipers and a month later they are streaking! Ive tried Bosch Icon, RainX, and am currently back to the Michellens.

Just wondering what everyone is using and what the best is. I just want something that works and will last!!

i have had my rain x single piece wipers for just over a year now and it's about time to replace. I have never had a set of wiper blades last even close to this long and they do a really good job clearing rain, ice and snow

my bosch icons lasted a few years. love them. sure streaking isn't something else? i would try stoners invisible glass and clean the wipers.

have never liked rain-x on my windshield. sure i wouldn't like their wipers either.

Michelin makes a knock off of the Latitude, forget the name but you save a lot and get the same thing

I think the rain-x latitudes are awesome to. I have them and have never had a problem with streaking.

Still as pricey as Latitudes and you have pay shipping? Michelin radius is 15 cheaper per set and now you get an extra 10 bucks off when you buy at walmart

They're buy one get one.

Although when I bought mine they were free shipping.


They also do great with snow.

Bosch icons.. same thing as rain x latitudes. ive had my icons for like 5-6mnts now n they are still good. if you used em for 1 mnt n they were bad im pretty sure its another issue & not the blades.

My local autozone's (maybe checkers?) got the contours buy 1 get 1 right now. Don't know if that's a national thing. Ive had a set for 3 months or so and they've worked pretty well.

I have the RainX Latitudes on my Max and Alti. I had one set for almost a year and finally replaced it because the black plastic faded before the wiper wore out. Awesome wipers.

I have the Michelin hydroedge wipers on my max and my wife's Mazda 3. They work amazing (in the crappy Canadian weather we have up here). Price is not bad since they are all the same price for any size. Costco has 'em -> these are the Goodyear ones - look exactly like the Michelin ones and about the same price.

Was not able to find the link for the Michelin ones @ Costco but I know they have them - just went last weekend and bought a pair...

Hope this helps

bought these at costco this past weekend at 8 bucks each. Went to Target and paid 15 each less than 2 months ago, so jumped on this when i saw it. They work well and no issues thus far
