Windshield Wipers

[Cylvertip]

Costco Goodyears on my Frontier and SuperDuty.  ( I oversize them to get maximum windshield coverage. )  The Boss's Sub is finicky.  Only thing that seems to work for more that six months/ touch durring the entire pass is is the Rain-X Latitudes.  I generally replace wipers every fall.

I may go in search of the silicon ones, I haven't had luck with the Goodyear  ones on either truck, but the wife likes them on her car

Like others have already mentioned, the Bosch wiper blades were a total waste of money, at least they were for me. 

The Motorcraft wiper blades I've used before always were excellent and lasted the longest of anything I've tried. 

I put some PIAA Si Tech Silicone blades on our vehicles last fall and after one year of service they've been very good and equal to the Motorcraft blades but only time will tell if their longevity is as good.

If they can last through my wife's abuse and torture they must be good because that woman can ruin a set of blades faster than anyone I've ever seen.  She thinks windshield wipers are ice scrapers and in the summer when her windshield gets covered with splattered bugs she doesn't believe in washing her windows when she's filling up with gas, nahhh, that's what the wipers and wiper fluid is for, according to her.

OK, that's pretty funny.  I can relate.

Just as a reminder from my research. Always wipe down new wiper blades at the install to clear off any manufacturing residue with an alcohol pad. Also wash your windshield BY HAND every six months to get the deep grime off.  I get well over a year on my blades.

I clean my blades w/windshield solvent once per week and get a year out of a set.  I use Bosch and my wife calls me hyper aware when it comes to insisting on a clear windshield. 

I've found that grime is the cause of most "failure" issues
