Thumbs down windshield wipers

Just wondering if you guys are running OEM or aftermarket.

I currently use Rain-x and am not satisfied. They streak like crazy.

Any reccomendations?

My wife has the Rain-X and she likes them. Rain-X were horrible on my Ranger. A few days ago I put some of the new Michelen Stealth wipers on the Ranger...they are great. Might want to try them out. I picked them up for 12 bucks each (in my size) from Walmart.

Arrow The best

The best blades on the market are Trico and I have used them all. Amsoil - TRICO wiper blades

I have never found better than the Bosch Icons.


And actually, some of the worst were the Rain-X... Mine were terrible.

I'm also using Bosch, and they work well on both my cars -- the Outlander and a Subaru Legacy.

If Bosch are the ones I'm thinking of, they have something like caps on the ends of the wipers. I always knocked them off when scraping ice.

Bosch worked great on my GTO, but not so great on my Outlander. They are doing OK on the Outlander.

On the GTO, I switched to Valvoline blades because the Bosch wore out and right at that time there was a great deal from Sears on those Valvolines (like two blades for $10).
The Valvolines are quite good on the goat, but not sure how they would work on the Outlander.
