Windshield Wiper

What do you guys use?
What products you guys have good experience with and what to absolutely stay away?

I had a pair of michelin stealth hybrid, great for its price but was a little bumped that it barely last a year. (I drove less than 5000km a year but I do park outdoor)

Mine is due to change and I'm debating between michelin stealth hybrid vs bosch evolution, the price is roundly double on the Bosch.


-Cheers

I've been using Bosch for a few years now including the ICON, Evolution, and ClearAdvantage and have liked them all. I usually wait until I absolutely need new ones or if I see some go one sale.

The Michelins are junk. I've been using the Bosch Icons and they are great.

OEMs for me, have worked well for 2 yrs on our 07 G35 and 8 years w/ our 09, and the refills are about $8 each. Plus the OEM arms look best IMO.

if you don't want to **** around with replacing the rubber (done it before - PITA),TRICO Flex blades side-load like the OEM's to sit low on the windshield. fairly cheap and work good, too.





I haven't tried it yet, but i have a big jug of 303 Aerospace already, so my next set of wipers i'll try treating like this ...

I use Michelin Stealth on my coupe. You can get them from Walmart for really cheap, the last set i had lasted me about 2 years before the rubber started stripping.

I don't buy it. I use 303 on my tires since I don't like really shiny tires. It doesn't even last through rain. Those guys even recommend using it on serpentine belts. At least it's cheap to try. Please update the thread after you've put some time on the wipers.

I'm glad nobody said Rain-X. Those were the worst most expensive wipers I ever bought. I've had good luck with Motorcraft wipers from Rockauto.
