My OEM wipers lasted a year. I decided to go with PIAA silicone blades. They are working fantastic. I'm hoping they will last longer than a year.
lesson learned - Bosch ICON 365 climax and bring a flat head.. i love them they work silently and dont streak. Seriously VW and their bloody not standard wiper arms.
Another thing you might notice on your Tig is that every once in a while when you switch your car off or turn it on, the wipers will "twitch", basically just move a couple of millimeters up or down. It's to prevent them from sticking to the glass and baking on, in areas where you might not use your wipers for weeks of months at a time. It supposedly keeps the blade's edge in healthier shape.
I ended up with some Bosch all season wiper blades. They were like $50 for the pair, but are considered premium.
After initial spray and clearing, they really do work nice, look like the factory design and have that slight wind ridge for holding tight as you drive.
I've recently put the Michelin Costco wipers on and they're great! These cost me CAD $10 per front blade.
I had good results from Rain-X blades.
OK, I couldn't take it anymore. I went to Advanced Auto Parts and got new blades. Their in-store system does not have 2019 Jetta's in it's database. Luckily I had my trusty iPhone and Google. Trico "Onyx" high-performance beam blades 26-240 (24" driver's side blade) 26-190 (19" passenger side blade). Cost = Too much. $41.00 - but I've got too much going on right now to schedule a trip to the stealership - so I paid for the convenience of the local parts store. Ease of install = RTFM and you'll be OK. These blades require you swap a supplied adapter into them. The arms are the narrow push button arms, so just follow the instructions with the blades to install the right adapter. Also, read the VW owner's manual to put the arms into "service" position. All easy if you read the manuals. Blades seem great - no rain today, but multiple applications of wiper fluid and using the blades returns, well, nothing. Dead silent.

They gave me Trico Force blades, which the website says will fit my 2008 B7 A4. I just tried to install them and it's clearly not a fit. I've scoured the web with no luck finding anyone that has been able to fit them. As I look at the mounting, it looks like I can pry out the old plastic Bosch swivel mount and put these in, but don't want to break anything.
