Best Wiper Blades

[TheEnder]

What’re the best wiper blades for a 2013 1500? I got rain-x rain repellant blades in December but they’re already going bad (never going w them again) and i’m wondering if you could make them a tad bigger than just 20’?

This time I have a set of 22" RainX Silicone Endura premium . Works fine for me .

Bosch Icons. When the OEMs got **** up, Icons are going on.

I’m still on the originals after 55,000km and almost 3 years. I’ll probably just get the same ones when the time comes. Been very happy with them

I recently purchased Michelin wiper blades nothing fancy, they were like 6-7 dollars a piece at Walmart. They work fine to me, I've never had the best of luck with wiper blades living in AZ they dry out so fast so I'll probably replace them with these ones again.

I just bought Bosch Icons today. Haven't installed or read reviews but they were the most expensive so figured they were good. And O Reilly had 10 bucks off right now

With the Bosch Icons, do you need to get the 22A and 22B for the set? I see both A and B online

 

[John Jensen]

Yes, Per Bosch, A is driver side, B is passenger

thanks for the info

what is the difference in blade "A" and "B"?

Got Bosch Icons on mine and they're just okay...Started to streak at about 20,000 miles (8 months in or so). $50 for a pair you'd figure they're top notch. Either I'm unlucky or the Colorado weather beat them senseless.

+1 for Bosch Icon. Have had good luck with them in FL. We get lots of sunshine and thunderstorms.

what is the difference in blade "A" and "B"?

The curvature of the blades. The drivers blade stays basically flat during a wipe cycle while the passenger blade has to curve more because it's tip has to wrap around the passenger side of the windshield.

what is the difference in blade "A" and "B"?

Slightly different curve on the B to better cover the rh edge, but either works for both sides fine.

SilBlades or Bosch. Never liked the Rainex blades

Most likely the later, I have two sets of wipers for my work vehicle, summer and winter. I can usually get at least two summers out of Icons, they're usually on the vehicle 2/3s of the year. Lots of city driving so the windows are constantly being cleared of dirty overspray.
The winter ones are Bosch single beam winter blades and I usually trash them every year.

Someone mentioned about the Rain-X blades, I trashed those in about 3 months(summer) mostly do to bad streaking.

Costco has specials on the Michelin wipers for $4.99 / piece. $10 pair vs $40 pair for the Bosch is a hard argument for me personally. The Michelin wipers are not the best but for $10 pair, I can change them out every couple of months and not worry too much about $$$. They usually last around 6 months for me; I keep the truck outside.
