It's time to change out my wipers as they are streaking pretty bad. Have you guys used the OEM refills or did you go with aftermarket? I've used BOSCH wipers over the years and am happy with them. I don't know how new OEM wiper blades perform. What are your thoughts?

I used BOSCH Clear advantage and they run about $11 each.

 

Bosch Icon. They are great. A lot more than $11 each though.

 

I've used them before and they are great, but their longevity, i feel, doesn't justify the cost. My wipers usually die around winter time, and the Icons lasted as long as their cheaper counterpart. I've seen the cost of OEM refills at around $10 with shipping but was seeing if OEM wipers are worth it or not.

 

I went with OEM...they last just as long and work the same in rain...The Bosch and Rain-X blades really shine in the snow and that's where the cost justifies itself...

 

Thanks. I ended up going with Bosch because the dealership i emailed for the cost of oem didn't get back to me yet lol

 

Another thing I do is clean the wipers every time I wash the car. All the dirt and crap that gets stuck on the wiper kills it overtime.

 

Icons ! Tried several others, and for me, they're the best.

 

I do this every time too. Being in the ice and cold and snow kills wipers even more though and regardless of how good a wiper is, winter kills them each time. The car is garaged when I'm at home but at work it's outside and subject to all the nasties. Just wanted to try to gauge how OEM performed from aftermarket.

 

Got a link to the $10 inserts shipped?
