If they’re running Bosch Aerotwins, they care about their car. If they’re running shitty no-names and the wiper blades are worn out, they probably don’t care about more important maintenance.
It’s either old wipers or shite quality ones. Buy a bosh and you’ll be happy.
Get yourself some Bosch focus wiper blades and clean that windshield with 0000 steel wool and good glass cleaner. Get it extremely clean and get yourself some aquapel.
I simply bought a pair of Bosch AeroBlades for only $36…
They’re exactly the same as the OEM blades for my Model S, except that it actually says “Bosch” on them. Never had a single streak.
I found out that the top of the original Bosch wiper blades are made of EPDM. They use EPDM for roofing that lasts around 50 years. The blades themselves can also last a very long time.
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.
They fit, but I bought Michelin wipers (made by Anco), and they work just as good as the Bosch.
They sell Michelin wipers but they are not the same quality they used to be. Personally, I've stopped buying them.
They\u2019re junk. Save your money and either go Bosch or OEM. Buy once, cry once.
I stopped buying their Michelin wipers when one fell off mid wipe after following their instructions to the last step.
