I also live in Canada. I get the Bosch ICON blades that you can get from Canadian Tire. It's like 50 bucks for both and they're better than OEM. Usually get at least 2 -3 years out of them in streak free condition, depending on how bad the winters are.
They were soooo goood. They were the expensive Bosch ones.
I put bosch envisions on my 2015 2.0 and it’s wiping incredibly
I just put on Bosch Aero twin blades. The different is night day over the stock blades.
I've tried a lot of wipers on my others cars and my usual go-to is the Bosch Icons, but for my VW I like the OEM's the best oddly enough.. What I do is just replace them yearly, but I get some people don't want to spend that money haha. Works great in the winter while they're fresh.
Had Halfords ones for 1-2 yrs and they worked but were noisy as hell juddering across the screen. Later switched to Bosch and not only were they *silent* (in comparison) they also didn’t judder across the screen so actually cleaned the windscreen properly.
Got the Bosch Areotwin replacement wiper blades yesterday, installation was exactly like the factory wiper, snap right on with no adpators. The first thing I notice was how much better the quality was with the Bosch blade construction wise. Had a bit of rain on the drive to work this morning, the Bosch wipers were quiet and cleans with no streaks. I have always had good luck with Bosch wipers and these areotwins are no exception.
Have Bosch "ICON" wipers on another car that sits outside, hammered with UV rays, those have been on the car for about four months. They clearly are taking more of a beating, and are holding up well.
Recently switched over to Bosch Icons on my 3rd car (Mercedes B250) and felt it cleaned better than the Michelins.
The OEM wipers that came with my car from the dealer lasted 4 years and worked great until the last month of having them.
The apparently fancy, highly reviewed Bosch I replaced them with are at year 2 and are already needing a replacement.
