2024 Colorado. Time for new wipers.  NAPA brand? Bosch? Other? Got Napa, O'Reilly, Autozone, Advance Auto all fairly close.

Here they all get cooked in short order no matter if they are the super expensive or  cheap so I by several pairs of cheap ones off Amazon and change as needed. All the chain stores are overpriced.

Just get like a half dozen of each size of whatever brand, change as needed.

Look up on youtube how to replace just the rubber inserts on your oem wiper blade. Cheaper than buying the entire wiper blade and seems to last longer too

Usually you can find them for your car model being sold by car dealerships on ebay.

Bosch Icon. One year warranty so at 11 months run to Auto Zone and swap out.

I’ve been quite pleased with the Bosch I put on my F150. The Toyota gets Toyota.

Yup. Buy OEM replacement refills.  Work better and last much longer.
Yesterday 8:46:03 PM EDT

Could be where I live/climate, but I have used all of them from OEM to cheap and all else in between...none seem to last significantly longer than the other, so I just buy inexpensive ones and replace them as needed.

Bosh icon have the shortest lifespan I have ever seen, but thats here in Houston with high heat and humidity. They also dont correctly match the angle of the windshield on my Expedition.

Rain X last much longer and do a better job on my Expi.

I am sure this is more of a car/location issue though.

Trico Titan from NAPA. By far the longest lasting wiper blades I’ve ever used.

Same. I quit trying.  I swap out at least twice a year, generally in October as we approach snow and ice and toss on cheap winter blades, then again in mid April to normal blades.  Replace any that go bad as needed.

PIAA silicone infused blades. They are all I have used for the last 20 yrs. Clear wipes, low noise, and no streaks. They last a really long too.

Get them on Amazon.

Unless your oem are crap, oem.

Cheapest shit you can get.  If you actually clean the windshield, wipers last a while. They're NOT ice scrapers.

Rock auto is the cheapest even with shipping.  Buy a couple sets, air filter, cabin filter, etc at the same time.

whatever the cheapest ones I can find are. South Florida eats blades like Amy Schumer eats cheeseburgers.

Don’t get the Rain X ones with the goop on them.  The dust they collect will scratch the shit out of your windshield.

Bosch!
