personally I run Bosch wipers on both my W204s and they’re great… I leave one of them outdoors with direct sunlight on it for hours and it’s been like what, 3 years since I last changed them? They last good and perform equally as good as OEM And where I live is even worse, we got this really thin dust that kills plastics/rubbers on the long term and yet they hold up amazingly well
Owner reviews for wiper blades
Rain-x wiper blades fit. All I did was go to parts store and buy the rain-x brand wiper blades in the right length and they fit perfect.
RainX comes with the adapter. 40k miles on the rainx no issues yet.
I have been using TRICO 14A for the rear wiper without issues.
Theres a couple of brands but I have literally had my PIAA wiper blades outlast my last car. Actual 100% silicone wipers are designed to last 8 -10 YEARS and all you need to do is wipe them with paper towel soaked in a little alcohol or any other safe cleaning solvent once a year or so to maintain.
I just purchased these from O’Reilly’s near me today 1/19/24 for my 2018 Crosstrek limited. Only one set in stock. Looks like they're also available from Amazon. They Are Bosch and fit directly, no adapters needed. Only tested them with the windshield washer fluid and they are smooth and crisp.
I been using PIAA set for a few months now, and it is so good, no more streaking(mine streak literally when taking delivery on my MYLR23, even the second wiper from Tesla within the first month of ownership).
I replaced mine with Bosch Icons, but to be honest, they don't really seem to perform any better than the OEM wipers, which, in retrospect, were surprisingly good.
I paid multiple times that last time and they are streaking a few months later. These are Michelins.
I never had good luck with wiper blades or rubber inserts from aftermarket brands, and sometimes OEMs (Bosch). Skipping, chatter, cheap rubber, etc. I avoid them at all cost.
