Windshield Wipers

[850CSi]

Anyone have any recommendations? Is this something I should be trying to go OEM [Bosch] for, or will something from Autozone/whatever work better for less?

I put Bosch blades on my sister's car, they work beautifully. I put them on in like 2009, they're still holding up nicely.

My OEM blades, OTOH, blow.

On my dad's car, all he replaces is the rubber blade insert.

I've had Bosch Icons on my car for a while, still works really well.

You have to get something that will work with your style connectors. 


Get these.  Good blades.

I put a set of PIAA wiper blades on the Civic. Surprisingly enough, they were well worth the extra money.

Better than Bosch Marathons?

My RainX Latitudes must have lasted about a year by now, still work great. I also use the RainX washer fluid.

You can never convince me that some fancy wiper blades are going to wipe better and last longer than the cheapo brands at AutO'Reilly's. Once a year replacement, pretty much no matter what.

Never had those, but they lasted five years and never streaked, so they ended up paying for themselves a few times over.

I think it may be true, but I still buy cheap ones at Meijer.

Bosch wipers seem to be super expensive. Both the Rain-X latitudes and the Valeo ones CJ linked me to end up costing around $40. Hmmm
