MICHELIN › Wiper blades

The wiper assembly on this car is one of the best of any car I’ve had. When the original blades started to get streaky, I did briefly try some michelin and rainx blades to replace the OEM blades, but found they were both a downgrade. Both were larger than OEM, which generated extra noise, and caught the wind when at speed so they would chatter and skip. Less than ideal especially in inclement weather.

I’ve been using OEM blades ever since. I typically replace the wiper blades in the fall, and then if I notice any issues with streaks in the spring I replace again.

This is my second winter with the car and OEM blades, and I’m not having any issues with the blades or fluid. If I do miss anything, the wipers and the winter fluid take care of the rest.

Pros: OEM: no issues, good performance

Cons: Michelin/RainX: noisy, chattered, skipped

I know others recommend just replacing the inserts, but I went with Bosch Icons and couldn\u2019t be happier. Very easy install, I live in the PNW so they get used quite a bit. Overall I\u2019m very happy with them.

Pros: easy install, very happy

If it still streaks you probably need new blades. Bosch are the best IMHO.

Look into PIAA wipers, if they offer them for the CX50 trust me and get those. Had them on my Mazda 3 for many years before the CX50 upgrade and they were the best wiper blades hands down I have ever used (those include Bosch and rainX).

Pros: best wiper blades

Bosch Clear Advantage blades are the sweet spot for price/longevity. I’ve used Ikons and Valeos. The CAs last longer than either for me, despite being cheaper. Swear by them.

Pros: good price, long lasting

Wipe quality:

Use iso alcohol on a microfiber towel, wipe the windscreen/back window and the wiper blades with it, then take off the excess and dry with another one.

Then use a glass cleaner+fresh microfiber to clean the windscreen, and wipe the wiper blades(all 3).

Pros: clean windscreen, clean blades

I honestly can't complain about the bosch icons on my gen 3. They dont streak after 7+ months, though the outer edge on the drivers side wiper kind of chatters across the windshield for some reason

Pros: no streaks, long lasting

Cons: blade chatter
