Default It’s that season... what wipers are your favorites

Mostly a question for the milder climate guys. I will be going to the mtns for ski season but most of my time will be in valley rain. Thanks in advance.

I've always had the best luck with the OEM one's at the dealer. Behind that, the Goodyear loo ones at the local Costco work pretty good as well. But here in AZ, they get dry rotted before worn out.

We have to replace them annually, with 60" of rain in our city. having tried them all in various vehicles, I find Bosch to be the best. oddly, I found Michelin to be the worst, they squeaked, and dried out way too soon.

Cheapest ones possible and replace them often. I got mine from rock auto and change them at least 3 times a year. I paid under $2 per wiper so for that price I don't care about changing often. Bought 12 sets.
Had Bosch and other brands and they did not last long. Can not justify price of Bosch ones.
OEM ones are not bad though.

The factory blades on my '12 lasted 3 years, and the OEM's I replaced them with were still fine after two years. I'll leave the factory blades on my '16 until they wear out, and then decide what to replace them with. Unless they wear out much faster than the others I've had, I see no reason to change brands.

Just put on Bosch Icons 2 weeks ago seem great so far, after a winter in Toronto I will give you an update. OEM's only lasted 6 months, was not impressed with that.
