Wiper blades Bosch or Denso
You can get the OEM ones from VW. Bosch also sells OE style clip in wipers for the Jetta.
Picked up some Bosch Icons. Loved them on my truck, and had them on my GTI for 6 months (then traded in). Never had any issues with them. Best ive ever used.
Anyway, got Denso replacement wipers and they're working really well so far. Denso 160-3124 and 160-3118 are the part numbers in case you look into them, 18\" passenger and 24\" driver
I personally have Bosch ##CA blades (## = inches), and they've been working well for me so far.
The wiper blades that came on my car (used) looked a lot like the Bosch A582S AeroTwin set available from many sellers on eBay. Just bought a new set myself, waiting for delivery. Between then and now, I've used Rain-X wipers. An older style didn't fit properly but the Latitude does work and fits properly, though doesn't look as nice as the Bosch set which is actually relatively inexpensive. I would recommend finding the A582S set.
So I stopped at the closest auto zone and got some Bosch Icon blades I think they were. Easily the best set of blades I've ever owned. So far they have gone through three snow storms and I don't have a complaint yet.
My Jetta has Bosch Evolutions which are only starting to streak after almost 4 years.
I switched to the Bosh Icon. they were more expensive, but I haven't had to change then in two years and they are still going strong.
Make sure the wiper blades themselves aren't warped. Mine were when I took delivery of my 2014 GTI. My driver side one kept leaving thick streaks behind at eye level (to the point where visibility was dangerously bad at night in the rain). I first tried cleaning the blades off but that didn't help. When I got a closer look the next day I noticed that the blade itself looked slightly twisted and bowed inward at a certain spot. I had my dealership replace the wiper blade and the problem went away completely.
mine does it too, and ICONs are NOT crap, they are very good (usually) I think the new ones are crap, however. my dad has an 06 VE Jetta with original wipers and they work better than my new ones.
