What are good wiper blades and the best place to get them?

 

I'm interested too, I've tried rain-x brand and now triple-edge and they've both sucked ass

Never had an issue with any other vehicle before.

 

I just get the cheap bosch ones. Not great, not bad and they get the job done.

 

Maybe it's just more to do with bad design on Chevy's part than crappy blades. The wipers on the Cobalt are probably the worst I've ever seen on a vehicle.

 

i've been using those new ANCO contour ones. they work really well, but the downside is that they dont last as long as conventional blades.

 

i've been having problems with my wiper blades ever since i bought my car.. it leaves water behind in lines from top to bottom, right where i look out and i know it's not bc they are dirty i just cleaned them =\ and they aren't even that old/ barely have used them

 

I got the Bosch Icon ones. Can't complain. Much better than the normal ones and they look alot cooler. But yes, the windshield design must just be off because nothing I've used is ever dead-on perfect..

 

Yeah, I hate using wipers period. I've always used Rain-X on everything, but unfortunately sometimes you gotta turn that switch.

 

mines are just fine.. stock wipers and all.. have had the car for 25k miles now.

then again, i live in AZ.. it hardly ever rains here lol

 

I just bought a set of Beam wiper blades and they work very well.They look like the Bosch Icon wiper.

 

Where did you guys buy the bosch icon and beam wiper blades? Also how expensive are they?

 

i just replaced mine with ac delco blades from the dealership. they seem to work great

 

walmart brand that contore to the windshield, frameless. I'm on my second pair, they have survived several hurricanes and a really bad winter, but you get what you pay for, they were 17 bucks a piece. Better then the Reflex ones that are 55.00 for a set for our cars.

 

i got rain-x. and at advance auto parts they got a sale buy 1 get 1 free on any wipers

 

i've used bosch icons, and the rain-x ones (each lasted only 1 season)
i found that the cheap $7 wipers perform as well and last just as long

 

Advance Auto parts sells Bosch Icons.

 

Bosch are great. Got them at Pep Boys. They have sales on them sometimes.

 

Use the medium priced ones I have had no problems, and guys that little wipe thats included. Make sure you use it. Trust me it helps out in longevity.

It takes what 3 seconds to rip it open and wipe the blade? A lot better when the first time their used. And also I try and not use mine until rain has soaked the whole window. I don't use the windshield washer at ALL until after the first rain to keep from the first use being a brief dry use.

 

I used a pair of those like $10 wiper blades with m truck and they worked AMAZINGLY but I don't want those ugly ass shin colors that don't match my car for wiper blades... I wish they made them in non-shiny colors... Or maybe they do and I just can't find them, lol.

 

those double blade ones? i've seen them in black before, but i would never do that to my cobalt

 

i wax my windshield and use the motorcraft premium ones. they always work great and they have the color change dot. they typically last me a year and a half before the rubber starts disintegrating.

 

i need new one's to i still have the stock ones.. and they are worn how long to the bosch one's last would you say?

 

i always find the ones from the dealership work better then any aftermarket ones

 

My factory blades wore out, so I decided to try the rain-x one on the drivers side. Honestly, it was not worth the money. Maybe I got a bad one, but it leaves a 3 inch strip in the center of the blade where it does not wipe cleanly. Also, when it rains (rather than just sprinkling) the blade somehow pulls the water about 8 inches back onto the windshield on the back-stroke. It is really annoying.

 

x2 for the rain-x ones sucking. won't buy those again.
