When replacing the rear wiper blade on the hard top I found that I had to get it from the dealer, as opposed to a generic auto parts store....

Our OEM wipers blew chunks. 16" Michelins and all is good.

Hi guys, anyone got a recommendation for wiper blades for use in the desert? I live in Dubai, and surprisingly we have had a ton of rain in the last few days and my wiper blades have started to fail.

Also, stay safe, wash your hands people!
I use Scrubblade Wiper Blades and they last longer than any other blades I have used in the past. I live in the desert and most blades dry out and crack in 6 to 8 months. The Scrubblades will last a year or more.

The wipers are under "wear" warranty for 12 months. So are brakes, clutch, and a few other normal wear and tear items?

Are these the same Michelins that are from Costco? They are on sale now for like $5 or something?

I noticed the fitment book for Michelin wipers at Costco did not list a rear wiper blade. How much was the rear wiper at the dealer?

Picked up a set of Michelins at Costco the other day. $5.99 each. When I start going further than the grocery store, I'll put them on

I'm sorry Nick, I don't recall. But I will say that the price, even if high for a wiper blade, wasn't so much so that I still recall that price being outrageous.

I order through a friend's repair shop for Jobber pricing. I was just wondering? I need to place a order for engine and cabin air filers so I will add a rear wiper to my order.

I have bought and used those Michelin wipers from Costco before. They work good on the cars I bought them for. Never tried them on a Wrangler though. The only thing I am concerned about is possible wiper lift at highway speeds because the Wrangler windshield lacks rake angle. Let us know how they work out. I will pick up a set if the report is positive. Hard to go wrong at that price.

Ya, I've got these on my F250 and Explorer since last spring and they have been great We put a set on my daughter's Compass Trailhawk this week but no rain yet. Were locked down in Georgia until the end of the month and I'll probably not get any use of my Jeep until then.

Those are the same ones that I use. And for $6 a pop, I would have bought a few...LOL
