Wiper blades Bosch or OEM Volkswagen
I buy Bosch for my 2017 GTI every time and they fit better than any other brand. My wipers “hide” when not in use and all other brands always still show. The Bosch set takes 2 minutes to swap out.
I bought 2 Bosch wipers for a 21' Jetta, the wipers don't fit properly. Edit: get Bosch icon oe 24/20 they fit right in with number 4.
I bought Bosch Icons at Autozone and they fit like OEM and work like new. It's really like any other car.
I’m using Bosch 24OE and 17OE. Snaps right in.
Quality Bosch wipers
Went with Bosch Aerotwin, no complaints.
I put Bosch Icon’s on a week ago and they’ve been great in the rain.
I tried the RainX blades that others here seem to like and they left streaks on my windshield. I normally buy Bosch but wanted to give RainX a try - never again. Bosch Icon are worth the extra cost.
I had the same issue as you describe. The damn streak was right at eye level making it very difficult to drive at night in the rain. I put the wipers on service mode and looked at how they fit onto the windscreen. I noticed the wipers do not contact the windscreen where the streaks appear. The wipers have a natural curve to them. The curve was too severe and was lifting in the middle. So i took the wiper off and applied some pressure to straighten out the wiper blade by hand. Basically, bend the wiper up and hold it straight. Now the streaks have disappeared from my eyesight! but have moved to the lower part of the screen.
I personally have had bad luck with Bosch (streaks) on my Subaru and went back to OEM.
