I've found the OEM blades to be awesome. They work well, don't look too chunky like some aftermarket ones, last a long time, and at $18 each on Rock Auto (part 68383600AB), are substantially less than others like Bosch Icons, even with shipping.Looking for a good set of after market wiper bladed? I'm sure the ones from the dealership are fine, but I'm just in no mood to get robbed by the dealership. I'd imagine there are so AM blades that are better than OEM.
It's hard to believe how expensive some brands of blades are. Finding a set that balances cost with function is a great find.I've burned through several sets on my bought-new '21. After a bit of involuntary experimentation, I've settled on these wipers. The performance and perceived quality for the price have thus far put them ahead of the pricier brands that I've used; in particular, Bosch.
Have you ever compared what you use to rainX ?after cleaning your windshield use a light ceramic spray on the glass. Helps not only water run off, bugs and grime too.
