Wiper Blades
So I'm about ready to buy new wiper blades and any kind i've gotten before i've never really been happy with.
I've never looked into them that hard, i just get whatever kind my mechanic has on special when i get my inspection but this time i wanna be happy with my purchase. So what kind do you guys you? Any kinds that are good? Bad?

Re: Wiper Blades
I use Bosch Icons and I like them. The OEM subaru ones have the special "stops" on them which are nice to have, but wiper technology has really improved since our cars were designed.

Re: Wiper Blades
I've always liked the impreza wipers that have the air "spoiler" on them to keep them against the windshield.
I have Bosch something..LOL I'm happy with them but usually buy one set for most of the year and one set for snow. Just look at autozone or something...I believe driver is 22 and passenger is 18....rear is 16? Can't recall on top of my head.

Re: Wiper Blades
I like the Rain-x regular ones. They hold up well and I'm happy with the way that they cause the bead effect. I've used some of the older Bosch ones that would chatter along the windshield as they get old.

Re: Wiper Blades
I buy Narrow inserts for the OEM arms. Have always worked well. I clean the blade with alcohol every couple of months

Re: Wiper Blades
Bosch makes the rest of the brands look sick... If you splurge and buy the "good ones" I did and never had any others that compared to them!
The difference compares to the difference in our stock headlight bulbs and HID"s Keith
