HOT! Battle of the Blades: October 2024 Forum Giveaway!

[Mike2095]

I’ve had good luck with rain x silicon.

Ford OEM have been to me. Might have to try the Icon.

 

[synchro]

I've been using Rain-X Silicone for about four months now. Every now and then they will not seat good if you are at highway speed. I'll be trying Bosch Icon when I replace these seeing the popularity of those blades.

 

[Tucson Tremor]

Not sure if I missed it… anyone know who makes the motorcraft blades?

 

[Rooster]

So, like, you never own a car long enough?.....or cause you got a guy?

Just never needed em except on one vehicle if fell off. Just never noticed a degradation Rainx seems to work better than anything. At least for a few days.

Michelin Guardian, always performed well for me! Also Costco runs a sale on them multiple times a year.

Will someone please just vote for the TRICO Onyx already!? If nobody does, I will before the poll closes.

 

[Tremwhore🐊]

Bosch Icon are the way to go. They work great and seem to last the longest.

 

[blumhagen]

I use the Bosch icons because everyone says they are the best. Though I’ve had 2 pairs and they seem just good to me. Thinking about those PIAA ones as I’ve heard a bit about those.

Thank you for whoever did that!

 

[TX Tremor]

Thank you for whoever did that!

I honestly love Trico’s. They just always seem to work better on my vehicles.

 

[Optimus🤖]

Just received this. They have a new referral program. I'm sure it'll do wonders here :

 

[RedZilla]

Honestly I think for durability you won’t be able to beat any of the silicone rubber blades. After that obviously frame design will determine how well the blade maintains even contact on the windshield in all conditions.

I've been a fan of the rain x silicone. I like that they keep the windshield clean and keeps the rain from "sticking" to the glass. Dislike that they squeak when there's just a little water on the windshield. First set. May be looking at something else when they take a dump.

I've used Bosh Icon on all of my vehicles for years. They hold up well in heat, wipe very smooth across the windshield (no chatter) and last for a couple seasons. I've tried many different bargain brands, and none can compete with the Bosh, they seldom last past the winter into summer transition, they begin separating at the blade edge in the summer heat. Summer is dry here, but the dust factor is prevalent, and the washer is in constant use.

Bosch Icons here. switched out every 6 months (early fall and early spring). They seem to work well and have lasted and performed better than others I have tried. I also coat/clean the windshield with RainX so I guess it's possible that has some effect.

 

[pickleknuckles]

I've used the Bosch Icons for as long as I can remember on several vehicles. I get about a year outta each pair. I think the trick is to change them yearly after the last freeze, and use em thru till the same time the next year. Fresh wipers every spring.

 

[HALL250]

Rain-X for me. I’m too cheap for the pricey blades.

 

[youn1033]

Bosch Icons here - It rains in Houston all the time, so gotta have something that I know works and will last!

 

[idrivea2022tremor]

Seems like I'm not alone in liking my Bosch Icons. They just seem to always work. Not that I need them much in SoCal, but it does seem like they can handle a hot summer and still be functional when the rains do come. I think I replace a set once ever 2-3 years.

If I have one nit pick it's the ends of the blades. On some windshields (looking at you my old 2005 GMC Sierra) the last inch or so doesn't lay down on the glass when parked. But they do touch the glass for the important sections.
