can anyone recommend a good brand of wipers that i can put on my car? my stock blades sucked so i went out and bought a set of rain-x blades, which my step-father recommended but they seem just as bad as the stock set i had. those were always catching on the window and making that annoying dragging sound [even in the pouring rain] and streaks everywhere. the new set doesn't streak as much but the dragging sound is still there and it's driving me crazy

 

Mopar wiper blades from a chrysler dealer, good quality, and if you keep the recipt, you can warranty them under 12mo/12k if the dealer installs them, ususally free. And yes, they will fit a cobalt!

 

and if u run a 20 or 30 shot they will be no drops on ur window lol...i'd listen to frank hes pretty smart

 

i used some michellen ones..they were half decent, figured if they can make tires they could handle a wiper blade

 

all i have to say is WARRANTY WIPERBLADES, thats two for one right there

 

I think teflon wiper blades are the way to go. They never make that rubbing sound and are just amazing.

 

I know people won't believe me, but the factory ones are the best. I've only changed them once in two years and 45K miles, and I ******* HATE less than perfect wipers. Normal people would still be using the stockers I took off. In fact, the guy who's car they went on probably will never know the difference.

Best deal in town on wipers: Swing by the dealer and swap yours with a set on a brand new Cobalt. Thats what I did.

 

bosh

or stock

 

lol that doesnt sound like a bad idea but i bought my car brand new and the wipers have always been rather crappy. there isn't even 10K on it yet.

thanks for all the input guys! i'm gonna do some shopping around again tomorrow. i just figured that hey, my step-father likes rain-x and he's a mechanic so they must be good but i guess not, at least not in my opinion.

 

BOSCH blades FTMFW!!!

 

yea the stockers are the worst i have ever seen on a new car!!!! they make so much noise. Im going to get the bosch icons.

 

my stock ones have been great so far, actually the best wipes i've had. i bought a set of bosch wiper blades (least thats what i think they were) back when i had my z34 and they were pretty good too. seems like you get what you pay for with wiper blades.

 

Clean them. They only make noise becasue they are dirty. Take a wet towel or something when washing the car and wipe them down till you get very little black coming off. Makes them work like new again.

 

My stock blades made that annoying ass rubbing noise, then i bought bosch premiums, rubbing noise

and this is even when it's raining


rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrrr

i think the arm is fucked up or something

 

Put Rain-x on the windshield and you won't even use your wiper blades. The water just beads up and runs off.

 

Boush ICONS FTW

 

My gf got me some carbon fiber ones which are called Oktane, they work real good, plus look sick

 

Im going to have to second or third Bosch Icons. Get them at autozone. The Bosch premium blades are good too. Ive tried rain-x, Valeo, and Bosch in the past.

Also like mentioned pick up the Rain-x fluid as well.

 

bosch icons FTW.. got them 20K ago... and i'll never look back... they work awesome

 

yea man go pick up rain x washer fluid and spray once you get to 30 mph or so the water just drips right off and you dont really need wipers anymore.

 

I have the bosch blades now I change them once a year and thats it!
