vs
Wiper blades Motorcraft or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I prefer OEM Motorcraft for my Fords although I have had great experiences with the silicone Rain-X wipers (not Latitude)
Pros: great experiences, silicone wipers
Vehicle:
Ford
Everything I tried had a tendency to chatter. The motorcraft blades are the best I’ve found for my ‘18.
Pros: best blades
Cons: tendency to chatter
Part number: WW-2248
the only ones that seem to last more than like a month on my town car without chattering have been motorcrafts.
Pros: no chattering, lasts longer
I've always just stuck to the Motorcraft blades for this very reason. They are mirror images of each other.
Pros: mirror images, good fitment
My wipers on my Explorer were chattering and jumping like crazy. I replaced them this morning with the Motorcraft "Premium" wiper blades and they are smooth and quiet.
Pros: smooth and quiet
Cons: chattering and jumping
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
I've had my 2019 S since May, 2018. The original wipers wiped OK, but began to get noisy a few months ago. We just went into the rain season here, so I replaced them with new from a VW dealer in San Antonio TX. The new ones are dead silent and wipe cleanly and completely.
Pros: dead silent, wipe cleanly
Cons: original wipers noisy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Another thing you might notice on your Tig is that every once in a while when you switch your car off or turn it on, the wipers will "twitch", basically just move a couple of millimeters up or down. It's to prevent them from sticking to the glass and baking on, in areas where you might not use your wipers for weeks of months at a time. It supposedly keeps the blade's edge in healthier shape.
Pros: keeps blade's edge healthy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
The best experience I have made with the original wipers. I know, they are dearer than those in the aftermarket, but at least they clean 2 years without squeaking, skipping and so on. Those from the Mk4s can also be used on the Mk3.
Pros: clean 2 years without squeaking, no skipping
Cons: dearer than aftermarket
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I also lost the driver's side wiper at speed on the NJ Turnpike. The problem was a slightly bent (or misaligned) metal pin that holds the wiper blade to the arm. It was twisted slightly out of position and the wiper flew off, since the plastic cover no longer fit completely over the center of the blade. The solution was having my dealer twist the pin back into place.
Pros: dealer fixed the issue
Cons: wiper flew off
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg
Plus the OEM blades that came with the car were complete crap.
Cons: poor quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
