2024 Colorado. Time for new wipers.  NAPA brand? Bosch? Other? Got Napa, O'Reilly, Autozone, Advance Auto all fairly close.

Here they all get cooked in short order no matter if they are the super expensive or  cheap so I by several pairs of cheap ones off Amazon and change as needed. All the chain stores are overpriced.

Just get like a half dozen of each size of whatever brand, change as needed.

Look up on youtube how to replace just the rubber inserts on your oem wiper blade. Cheaper than buying the entire wiper blade and seems to last longer too

Usually you can find them for your car model being sold by car dealerships on ebay.

Bosch Icon. One year warranty so at 11 months run to Auto Zone and swap out.

Yup. Buy OEM replacement refills.  Work better and last much longer.
Yesterday 8:46:03 PM EDT

Could be where I live/climate, but I have used all of them from OEM to cheap and all else in between...none seem to last significantly longer than the other, so I just buy inexpensive ones and replace them as needed.

Bosh icon have the shortest lifespan I have ever seen, but thats here in Houston with high heat and humidity. They also dont correctly match the angle of the windshield on my Expedition.

Rain X last much longer and do a better job on my Expi.

I am sure this is more of a car/location issue though.

Trico Titan from NAPA. By far the longest lasting wiper blades I’ve ever used.

Same. I quit trying.  I swap out at least twice a year, generally in October as we approach snow and ice and toss on cheap winter blades, then again in mid April to normal blades.  Replace any that go bad as needed.

PIAA silicone infused blades. They are all I have used for the last 20 yrs. Clear wipes, low noise, and no streaks. They last a really long too.

Get them on Amazon.

Cheapest shit you can get.  If you actually clean the windshield, wipers last a while. They're NOT ice scrapers.

Rock auto is the cheapest even with shipping.  Buy a couple sets, air filter, cabin filter, etc at the same time.

Don’t get the Rain X ones with the goop on them.  The dust they collect will scratch the shit out of your windshield.

Pretty cool that I'm not the only one that bought a load wipers from rockauto for a few bucks each.  Mostly anco but also some bosch something or anothers.I think I got about 8 wipers for every wiper arm I own.  Stocked up on oil filters too.  Rockauto is the best for shit like this.

So I ordered these for myself as I noticed the wife's car had streaking last time we rode together.  18mo wipers.  Last night at 2030.

They were delivered at 0700 this morning.  

I remember 6-8 weeks for delivery.

They all suck.

I’ve bought every brand at every price point and they all suck.

Nice to see that you asked which ones to buy and didn't get any of the recommendations you received.

Well, since the Saturn dealership closed in 2010, I am guessing the stock will not be very fresh...

PIAA Super Silicone
These are the best.
Also, they sell inserts when it’s time for a refresh so it costs a lot less.

Wife went in the AutoZone for her Kia. Sportage was all set to buy Bosch. They told her to get rain x
They said they last longer .

It has almost zero to do with the car, and everything to do with the logistics. Just like everything else in the world.
