Loved the oem ones so dished out 40 bux for new beam type ones. Never had a pair of store bought last more than a year.


Next time I'll research, I think they made by a cheaper common brand.

I use Trico NeoForm. Usually get around 15-20k (9-12 months) out of them. Never as long as OEM ones but I can’t stand open blades. Don’t work well with WV winters.

I’ve had Bosch before and they didn’t even last 3 months. Hated those things.

Trico Force. I've had no luck with the Bosch. They didn't last nearly as long as the Trico Force does.

I just swapped out the factory blade wipers on my 2018 Laramie at 25k with the same Bosch Icons (22A= Driver, 22B = pass ) I used on my previous 13ram. They work great. Got them for $35 total online.

I did notice that the premium Mopar 'blade' style that were on it were nearly identical in appearance and design (3/4" longer) to the Bosch I replaced them with. And they are slightly cheaper ($30). May use these next time.

Mopar PN for the blade style:
55277446AC.

M² Mods.

I run 24” blades. I enjoy the larger sweep and they fit great. I run Costco Michelin blades. I don’t go to auto car washes as they dry out the rubber fast. I get about a year plus out of almost every set. I get my windshield coated in aquapel every 6 months. I find it works better than rainx and I’m lazy and don’t mind paying 15 bucks every 6 months.

Washer fluid makes a difference too. I use Rain X fluid and don’t have to start my wipers nearly as early as other drivers on the road. Stuff is a great de-icer too which is huge for winters here. Running wipers over a frozen windshield will wear the out super fast.

I have these on all 3 trucks and 1 car.

Wipes and repels away the same time.
I noticed other drivers blades sweeping fast, while mine just beads and rolls off without using the wipers.

That’s news to me if so. I’ve used it in all my vehicles. Past 5 or so anyway. Gonna have to check on that.

Interesting. I didn't think about running bigger blades. I might end up doing that!

I'm looking into the PIAA Super Silicone blades. Has anybody used / believe those?

When u think of really how much bigger the blade is ...... it’s really only one inch on either side of the blade
