Default Time for new windshield wipers

Ok guys it's time to replace my wipers so which ones should I go with? I used Bosch on my Sierra and they streaked bad. I don't know if I got a bad set but I read were others had the same problems with Bosch. So what is everyone else going with?

I've used Bosch ICON for years and never had a problem. I swear by them but to each their own I suppose

What those Rain X ones? Never had them but I thought I'd try them next. Seems like a good concept anyway.

Wore out in a years time? Mine are now 16 months old and holding up so well I figured when they do finally wear out I'd just replace them with the same as they do an excellent job.

Our environment (hot, dry) is tough on wipers as well.

Curious to see what will be the favorites.

ya know, many times the streaking is caused by dirt and grime. Take a first aid kit type alcohol wipe and clean the wiping edge of the wiper blade.
I easily get 3 years out of a set of wiper blade. What usually finishes them off is dragging over ice on the windshield.

Exactly. I try to remember to clean mine when I do an oil change. Definitely makes them last longer.

Also I usually just get motorcraft ones from rockauto

I live down here in South Alabama. The summers can be brutal.
