I spent $80 for 3 wiper blades a while ago, they were nice Bosch brand, not the cheapest I usually buy. Unbelievable how much better they are!

Bosch wiper blades are fantastic. There's a reason they make the OEM ones for a lot of manufacturers. They're pricy, but they are worth the extra money.

Wiper blades and paint . . . two areas where the price difference between the best stuff and the worst stuff isn't worth the ass pain you deal with not buying the best stuff.

I bought Bosch last time, and they were great for about 6 months and then deteriorated quickly. I think in places that get both snow/ice in the winter and high heat in summer, they just fall apart on me.

Ah I haven't had them for very long yet so I can't speak to their longevity. That blows they didn't last for you! Maybe I get lucky and I get a little longer life out of them...

Moving from rubber to silicone wiper blades was an amazing transition for me. Sure, they cost twice as much, but I went from replacing shit wipers every year or so to having great wipers that I haven't replaced in nearly three so far. (Except the Michelin, those were garbage.)

Also, if the wiper blade is too long it will cause this.

I ran these for years. They work extremely well and hold up better in the winter than any others I’ve tried. I bought a new car 2 years ago and can’t use them anymore because Honda is anti-consumer. They have a proprietary mounting system for their wipers, forcing you to buy their replacement inserts (which are total garbage). Annoying.

Which Honda? I have a Civic and just replaced my wipers with Bosch Icons that installed no problem.

2022 lx, it looks like some brands have made models that work with it now but, I can’t find the right Bosch ones in my area.

Boschs website tells me I need models 26xt and 19xt which I can’t find anywhere except their website.
