I didn’t know what wiper blades he meant initially at the time, but contained in the second paragraph of his
post 48- suggests that he was thinking the same thing I was thinking, which is the higher-up Mopar, “Bosch Icon look-alikes”, not the plain-Jane standard wipers you posted part numbers to.
Of course it’s all relative. There is no “best”. But there
is popular tho. The Bosch Icons seem to be just that.
Those that you posted, being 14 bucks a piece, is a fairly good price for a wiper blade. Those flimsy cheap 6 dollar wiper blades are about as cheap and worthless as they come. Lol.
As far as “best”....again, I think it’s more about popularity than actually being the “best”. A lot of things can be the “best” but being a popular choice says a lot more. Even considering we’re talking about a 25 dollar a piece wiper blade.
All wiper blades will pretty much be streak-free... when they’re brand new. Sheds water well.... when they are brand new. Even last for a pretty good bit. Those frameless wiper blades are better in the winter time because they don’t freeze up as quickly and as bad. That’s primarily the reason why winter blades Are covered in a rubber boot. Keeps the water out of the movable parts which is what freezes standard frame wiper blades, pretty much rendering them useless unless you pull over and give them a good thump... until they freeze up again in the next 5 miles. Lol. Premium wiper blades usually have better wiping edges and are made of much better materials that are proven to last longer.
But ya know, if you see no difference in premium blades vs mediocre blades, that’s fine. Spend less money and change them more often. I prefer a premium blade that will last a very long time because as I said, it’s not just necessarily because of longevity; premium wiper blades are usually more expensive
for a reason.
As am I...
