    Default What windshield wipers don't suck?

    Wife's vehicle needs new wipers. Currently have "beam" style on there that still manage to not always wipe effectively and get ice trapped under the blade.

    What do you folks use?

    Thanks!

    +1 Both are pricey but durability and effectiveness are obvious. I'm in the same boat on my F150 and will be going with either Bosch or RainX.

    Bosch Icons and use the orange Rain-x washer fluid. The fluid repels water after it is used, and strangely, my wipers seem to last longer when I use the orange stuff.

    Another vote for Bosch. Check out Advance Auto Parts as they usually have some sort of coupon.

    As far as snow and ice all wiper blades pretty much blow. I just buy cheap and plan on doing it every year before winter.

    I have been running that orange RainX washer fluid and it does make a big difference. Automatically applying the RainX every time you use your washers throughout the winter not only reduces the amount of times you actually use the wipers but makes everything come off easily when you do need to use the wipers.

    Use Bosch Icons and Rain-X fluid.

    I have the Rain-X blades on all of our vehicles.

    They are not cheap, but they work well, and seem to last pretty well.
