Wiper blades

[Deus13]

Anybody have good suggestion for wiper blades. I use the recommended 22” size blades and without fail the drivers side leaves streaks and spider web water designs. I have tried top of the line blades and GM dealership blades.

I've had good luck the Trico Force blades at Napa. Been on my truck for nearly a year now and they still work alright. Will be replacing them with the same ones or the Trico Titan series.

22” on both sides?

I only use Bosch. Whatever came on my 2017 Silverado I had to replace in 6 months time.

Bosch has always been best for me

Personally think the OEM, when new are the best.

 

They seem to have a pretty long life span too, know a little about rainy seasons living in Seattle.

Yep, four years in, original wiper blades.
When I get a piece of something stuck between the blade and the windshield (tree seed, a leftover bird dropping, a remnant of a shedding tree leaf, etc. ), I just put the wiper motion on fast for a few wipes and I'm good to go.

I have always had good luck with the Bosch Envisions. 2 years and counting in the upper midwest and they still work as good as new. However I have all my glass ceramic coated so that might help with longevity.. Might have to go back to OEM when these wear out!

PIAA Silicon - last long, wipe good, sun and freeze resistant

Bosch Focals. I also became a believer in Rain-X when I was driving interstate everyday to work.

Just replaced my 2018 blades with Michelin’s Ultra endurance (name is close enough). Absolutely awful. The blades, like the rainx blades, have a chemical on them. After install, you’re supposed to apply the chemical to the windshield by running them on medium for a few minutes. These blades chatter, are noisy, leave streaks, and spider web water designs. It had good reviews but I don’t get it. Unfortunately they are expensive and I replaced the blades on my wife’s RAV4 with these too and it does the same thing. We’ll run these through winter then I’ll go back to OEM for both.

I also have had the best luck with the original blades, does anyone know where GM gets them? If we knew, we could probably purchase them from Rock Auto much cheaper than from the dealer.

I’m literally going through the same issues you are right now. I’ve bought Michelin blades for years and they were always good until I tried these. I’m switching back to ACDelco blades. I’m just waiting for them in the mail.

I enjoy watching PF’s videos. He’s the reason why I went with the endurance blades.
