Just buy two. The blade is usable on either driver or passenger side.

4 years with the factory blades and they still work really good.
Garage kept??
Because I can only get 1 1/2 years of good use out of any blade I buy, no matter how expensive.

My 2019 had bad wipers. My 2021 is legit. Same part from one to the other so what's the difference? My 2021 blades are square to the windshield. The 2019 needed an adjustment. Had to twist the wiper arm to get the blade to sit correctly on the windshield now it's legit. šŸ¤“

I am pretty anal about my blades on my vehicles. After 10 years of swapping blades out at a BIG BOX Auto Parts store, I do highly recommend the Bosch blades myself. They have added one or two level above their standard beam blade, but they all seem to work well.

One thing that can really extend the life of you blades is CLEANING the blade edges every time you clean your windshield or top off fluids in your Jeep. I also look and inspect the blades carefully. IF they are starting to ā€ROLL OVERā€, itā€™s time to change them. What I call rolling over is that the blades take a set and the wiping edge seems to be bent in one direction or the other. Does FINE working aross the grain, but going with it is where you get your streeks or smears. The blade SHOULD be when on edge, straight up and down. If itā€™s laid over in one direction or another then replace.

Product recommendation?
I used the Adamā€™s spray on version but they also make a windshield sealant that works awesome. I like the spray on ceramic because itā€™s very easy and forgiving to apply and lasts 6 months to a year (YMMV). That plus RainX fluid and water just beads off like crazy.

I aree with @Maverick909 I use Turtle Wax 53409 Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. I put this on the Windshield and it lasts for quite a while.

Makes the water bead off while driving and keeps the wipers nice and buttery smooth.
