Wiper replacement

Hello all,

From day 1 my drivers side wiper was absolute trash. I am looking to put a good quality replacement on the car. What are you guys using? There are lots of options out there... Bosch, Trico, Anco etc.. Just looking to get some opinions. Thanks all.

Still have factory ones on mine also, and my '09 was built in Sept 2008. They work very well. Being able to park the car in a garage except when it is being driven makes a big difference.

I have used both Trico and Bosch in the past with good results.

No matter which wipers we use, it can be difficult to keep the windshield clean if we park our car in an industrial-type area where there is lots of stuff in the air. The biggest killer of wiper blades is being frequently parked all day in direct sunlight, which accellerates the drying out/dry rotting of the rubber blade.

Light is right on point. I have to change mine at least every 6 months with Bosch Icons....3 months with Trico...but I live in florida and my car is outside 7X24 and the wipers are used almost daily..if it were just rain...not too bad but add the bugs and other detrius and I consider myself fortunate to go 6 months with a set.

I got some from oreileys. their most expensive ones. I forget the brand but it was a full cartridge swap out. It works well.

don't get the cheapest ones they offer. they will squeak and will not wipe off good.

Just bought some Bosch Icons from O'reilly's 2 weeks ago. Best wipers I've ever had.

Icons. Quick swap. Beats the crap out of the stock wipers Nissan threw on their flagship model.
