Wiper blades?

[BroncOh]

Followed the link and also checked Amazon and at either place, they seem to sell for within a buck or two of the price of Bosch Icons.
Given that and @Devenhallen 's positive recommendation, I'll likely give them a try when my Tremor needs new blades, barring new evidence to the contrary.

I can't decide between their heavy duty model, or the Black edition silicone ones.

From the Scrubblade website FAQ page:

What Scrubblade is best for my vehicle?
The Scrubblade Blade Finder will show you exactly which Scrubblade wipers will fit your vehicle.

Click here to find the correct Scrubblade wiper for your vehicle: https://www.scrubblade.com/pages/blade-finder

If your vehicle has both the Platinum and Heavy-Duty option, both blades will fit your vehicle!

In most cases, older vehicles will see a better performance from our Heavy Duty wipers. Whereas newer vehicles may see a better performance from our Platinum wipers.

If you would like to know which wiper we recommend, please contact us at [email protected].

Looking over the photos on their website, the Black edition seem to be a beam style frame, and the Heavy Duty a more traditional style frame type blade. Now I'm in the same quandary as you. I've had good results with beam style blades on other vehicles but it says this right on the page for the HD blades:

BEST PERFORMANCE FOR - Commercial Vehicles, Toyota, Jeep And Ford F-Series Applications!

Heavy duty it is then! The open frame style usually applies more pressure at a few localized points to the glass than a monobeam, which applies the pressure over a wider area.

Heavy duty it is then! The open frame style usually applies more pressure to the glass anyways than a monobeam.

That was said somewhere on their site or in one of the videos I watched yesterday but did not find again in my brief review today, so I'm inclined to agree. Maybe I should accelerate my purchase, the mayflies are starting to get big and juicy right about now.

FWIW I’ve been running the frame style PIAA Super Silicone for quite a while on my current truck, and a number of years on my previous truck, with good success. I don’t think the I-Beam style are necessarily better.

Can’t explain it, mind you, but I’m happy with my framed blades.

Yeah, I hate the monobeam. Never seen as good and they warp as they wipe and it annoys my peripheral vision to no end

Just ordered a set of the Heavy duty Scrubblades. Will know pretty quickly how well they work against bugs. I'll probably clean and claybar the windshield really well first to give it a fair test.

Here's a 10% off code for Scrubblades. Unfortunately I received it after my order haha. Wanting to share and help others out at least. Takes $4.40 off for a pair of the 22" HD blades.

Ok.. so do I return the PIAAs and order Scrub Blades? Keep both and have one set as backups in case I don't like the other?

Fortunately, I think I'll be able to return the Bosch blades to Advance Auto Parts

I think the solution is clear: order the wife a '25 and put the PIAAs on her truck

I’m still confused where Scrubblades came from. You have experience with them, Bronco?

I hadn’t heard of them until you linked to them.

Never tried them. @Devenhallen uses them. And saw one video of them being used on an F450.

She wants a Mustang dark horse edition....or a Corvette for her next car. This gets me the best of both worlds

They've been around for about 7-8 years. Starts as a smaller company but really Took off. every fleet I deal with I tell them to change. Out here in Az, 6 months is a long time for wipers to last. Theyre always going to shit.

 

[Godzilla/Tremornator]

used to have a favorite

Napa house brand
they were the only ones I could find the were still all steal

Last holiday mine pealed off the whole squegy strip

Napa was closed

went to Walmart bought the cheapest ones they had, all steal too

hadn't rained in my part of Texas since the 4th when I put then on
but they work great

actually
has sprinkled some & cleaned off bugs
I'm sold
cheap & replace as needed

Interesting! Will be curious to see others experiences, too.

I won’t get to try them for quite a number of years now unless PIAA quality takes a nose dive. The Super Silicone frames support replacing just the rubber for cheap, so I’ll be doing that. Suspect the frames will last the life of the truck if replacement rubber is still available.

I’m also thinking of going with scrub blades also trying to figure out if I want heavy duty Platinum, or black? I’m leaning towards heavy duty

 

[TremorHopeful]

I’ve got the blacks arriving tomorrow. I’ll let you guys know how they are when I put em on.
