Wiper blades?

[W/T_Deluxe]

Ok, to me this sounds like a dumb question, but does anyone know what GM uses for their wiper blades? My truck (2011) still has the factory blades on it, and they are just now starting to tear and streak. I've never owned a set of blades that last that long. From cheapos to expensive I could only get about a year. Are the OEM wipers really that good? If I went to the dealer are they really what the factory put on or just Tricos with a A/C Delco label?

I believe they are Bosch Icons.

They are OEM lol. Seriously, not sure who makes the OE blades as they are stamped with GM numbers and what not. I'll see what I can dig up though. If I had to guess, Trico might be the supplier.

Over the years I have tried Bosch, Tricos you name it and the best are OEM from the dealer.

Yup, the OEMs were awesome. I heard that NAPA is working on trying to make available the factory blades as well.

Ok, thats what I figured. Looks like I'll be stoping by the dealer soon. Thanks for the replies guys. I didn't want to buy em from the dealership and get took.

I had a 2010 and the oem were junk, with in one year they were crap, the winters here take its toll, my 2014 items are even worse.

I personally like the Rain X wipers. I've had these blades on for a few years now and are just starting to not do the job as well as they used to.

I've had Bosch Icons on for 3 years now, just now starting to get streaky. I think I could make them last longer since they are still in good shape, but I've gotten my money out of them.

Wipers? I haven't used mine.... a good rain-x application is all I need!

[karlmg]

Applying RainX treatment is good and works great during light rains. But you still need to run your blades during moderate and heavy rains. I have the Icons and have no issues whatsoever.

I do the Rain-x application but still sometimes need wipers but not nearly as often. Great stuff, finally got my wife on board.

I prefer the OEM blades over anything I have tried. My 2013 original blades are still working very well.
