Who has the best wiper blades? I need to replace them on the Tundra and the wife’s SUV. They aren’t cheap these days, so I might as well pay for good ones.

Silicone. I like PIAA or Rain-X. Best I've used.

This is what I got several months ago. They have performed well. And yes, they have gone up a bit.

Bosch is what I use and I’ve never been disappointed.

I’ve been using the Bosh Icon’s and the Bosh Evolutions for the past 4 or 5 years and have been happy with them.


Thanks,
Rich

I'm happy with Bosch Icon. I ued to use Rainx Latitude, but the line they leave on the windshield at the stop points from the repellent got too annoying. It was like something changed in how they are made or the chemistry of the water repellent in them.

Did this today on the wife Expedition. Michelin silicone. About $23-24 each. They perform only slightly better but once a year I don’t mind the splurge. It’s what I put on mine, I’m not going to do less for her.

You aren’t kidding about them not being cheap! Other day I needed some and asked the autozone guy who had the best. He grabbed the rain-x ones and we went to the register. Rang up over $80.Sure hope they last like the guy said.

Thought about putting them back, but I told him I wanted good ones, so I went ahead and bought them. They do work great… sure hope that last.

Go to rock auto. Even with shipping it's half price and they compare all of them.

Just replaced the rear wiper on 17 Expedition. Only place I could find one was at the dealer. Ouch!

I bought my F250 in June, it’s on its 3rd set of blades. I don’t know what’s causing it, but they are getting destroyed way faster than normal. For set was $80 and I got maybe 3 months, most of which there was no rain, but I clean my windshield every day.

These days, I have found the cheap $10 each blades work just as well and last just as long as the high dollar blades. And even if they only last half as long as a $40 blade, it is still cheaper in the long run. The Texas sun is what kills them the fastest, if your vehicle sits outside all of the time like mine do.

These cheap Anco blades are what I run on my trucks.

I get my front wipers for F350 and Expedition at WallyWorld. They last about 6 months.

Just got a pair of Michelin silicone's two week ago at Auto Zone and had them installed there. While they were putting them on the salesperson said one of the main causes of wipers not lasting was cleaning the windshield when there were a lot of dead bugs on it. Seems the dried little devils exoskeleton will eat the wipers up faster than normal. So now when I need to clean the window I keep a bottle of window cleaner and a roll of paper towels in the truck. If they last a year I will be happy.

I’m here at an auto shop in Waco, having the SUV’s clunk sound investigated. I figured why not have new wipers put on it now. I was quoted $71 per wiper blades. Not a chance.

Bosch, by far!! I tried multiple brands, and the Bosch models always performed the best and lasted the longest. Rain-X wipers are a joke, I couldn't stand them.

After having the SUV ‘clunk’ problem looked at, next up was an oil change. They put Bosch (lower grade for sure) wiper blades on it for $39. We’ll see how they work in the upcoming rainy days.

Whatever they sprayed on the roads the past few weeks was like dried syrup on my windshield. Tore up my rain x blades.

I bought a set of blades for my truck off rock auto from Wholesale closeout.
Trico, $32 at Oreillys, I got them for $15 off Rock, shipping included in that...
Never again. These are the worst wiper blades ever. In moderate and heavy rain they do decent, but light rain, or on a cooler day they leave streaks of water bad.

Buy once, cry once! You got what you paid for. Cheap and quality do not go in the same sentence.
