Bosch Icons. Great at highway speeds (ie. no lift up), great in snow, no chatter, no streak, etc.

I will say do not buy the look-alike Bosch at big box stores. Dad's wipers were shot, we pulled into a big box store, they didn't have Icons, they had some Bosch that looked similar at 1/2 the price, and it was a long 1.5 hrs with them chattery, streaky bastards.

No shit I had a neighbor who used the original pair of wiper blades that came with the car for 13 years...

Then he didn't want to change them, said they were still working!

This is in Chicago where there are severe winters and hot summers. LOL.

I like the Bosch Excel + blades myself. They're a pretty good combo when RainX is used on the windshield. When I lived in a place that snowed, I'd go cheap blades twice a year. I treated them as if they were expendable. I don't see the point in spending $16 for RainX blades from the auto parts store.

Rain X wipers.

I used to buy the more expensive Bosch Icons and such until I went in to pick up a set and they didn't have any in the size I needed. Picked up some much cheaper Tricos instead and holy cow why have I been throwing money away on. Is he and Rain X? The Tricos are a better blade, have lasted longer, and were a lot cheaper. I know not to hold my nose up at Trico anymore.

I just buy whatever is on special at Costco usually around 7.99 and replace every 2 yrs or so. Rain X treatment on the windshield helps also.

Rain X makes the BIGGEST difference of anything......
