Wiper blades OEM Subaru or Goodyear
Reviews
Switching to single beam wipers helped from the crappy oem segmented frame ones.
Pros: single beam wipers helped
Cons: crappy oem wipers
Vehicle:
Subaru
3 years huh? I think I have my factory-original wipers on a 16 year old Subaru. Might be different environments and usage patterns but isn't this the sort of thing you don't replace if they're still working perfectly?
Pros: working perfectly
Vehicle:
Subaru
The best wiper blades I've ever used were the Goodyear Hybrid blades from Costco.
Pros: best wiper blades
We just replaced the wipers on our 2020 Subaru Outback today - they lasted 4 year!. If you have a Subaru, I highly recommend Subaru wipers. The ones we replaced were still clearing the windshield, but in Virginia they have "safety" inspections and if there's even the tiniest little tear they fail the car. So we replaced them. But they still had life left in them.
Pros: lasted 4 years, still clearing, highly recommend

Subaru Outback
I don't own a Subaru anymore but I had a Forrester for about five years and I never found offbrand replacements that really worked… I ended up going to my dealer and buying the replacements there… They were expensive but they always seem to work right…
Pros: worked right
Cons: expensive
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
After years of trying to remedy my poor wipers on my XV I swapped to single peice after market assembly and have never looked back.
The windscreen wipes smear free.
Pros: wipes smear free
Cons: OEM ones worn out
Vehicle:
Subaru XV
Beam blades are quite good, the Goodyear/similar don't chatter, but they have a rather annoying *THWUP* as the upstroke changes to downstroke for the nanosecond they're vertical...
Pros: don't chatter
Cons: annoying THWUP sound

I had blades replaced under warranty today and the usdm Subaru blades are not even close to the same. The they are taller and wider. I went back and asked for my old blades back i hate the replacement ones that much
Cons: taller and wider
Vehicle:
Subaru
I hate the Goodyear wiper blades they sell. I now buy PIAA off Amazon and they last a long time!
Pros: last a long time
Cons: I hate
I've bought and installed the Costco Goodyear blades several times and they always make the sound right after being installed, after only a couple of days.
Cons: squeaky sound, short lifespan
