Which are the best windshield wipers you recommend?

[kurokitsune]

It's definitely past time for me to replace my wipers and I'm sure that by now some of you guys have favorites for your windshield wipers. So tell me which ones do you recommend I buy to replace my stock wipers?

The stock ones don't last long.
I tried Bosch ICON, they lastest longer, but not what people claimed. More like decent quality wiper blades that needs to be replaced twice or 3 a year at the very least. I pushed mine to 1 year, but didn't wipe nice and clean

I got PIAA silicon wipers recently. No ideal on the long term, but wipes super well. The downsides is that the driver blades doesn't full touch the class about a quarter inch at the top, so there is a drop of water remaining. I manage to temporary fix this by bending the wipers at the top, but it returns to its old state soon after. Not the end of the world but yea, for the price, I didn't expect this.
I am trying to see if I can device a workaround to solve this problem.

Yeah I read about how silicone wipers are supposed to last far longer that the traditional rubber wipers.

I was also looking at those RainX wipers that apparently also coat your windshield with their water repellent, but as expected that special feature is short-lived.

I got tired of trying different wipers and paying extra for the whole wiper arm. Now I just buy stock refill blades from a discount Honda online store. I get my air filter, cabin filter and wiper blades all at the same time to save on shipping.

The Rainx wipers chattered and wiped unevenly on my truck.

I have a set of Trico on my Civic, and I'm happy with them so far. Even pressure across the blade without the streaking the stock ones had

I've used a couple of different sites. But this is the one I used last time because I have both an Acura and a Honda:

I stay with OEM. They last 15,000 miles

Am I the only one who finds the stock wipers to be just fine? I haven't replaced them in over a year and they work perfect no chatter or anything.

Many post on forum where I read few member stay with original. One try Bosh Icon and return to OEM

Yeah I stick to the oem blades. One important thing to do as well is to take a damp rag and wipe the blades clean when you notice streaking. Usually this will take care of it because most of the time the blades just got some dirt or bugs stuck to them causing the streaking.

Since my 2000 Accord, Civics 04, 06, 10, 13, 16 and now my 19 have used OEM inserts in factory blades, never had a problem, replaced every 6-12 months, cost at dealer, $8-12 a pair, seconds to replace. No reason to pay for Bosch or RainX @ $20-35 a pair. Plus, prefer the looks of the OEM blades, less bulky. I use Rain-X washer fluid, working well for me. Occasionally clean the windshield with BonAmi and a new sponge. YMMV. All that being a given, would purchase silicone inserts if they made them to fit OEM blades.
