Wiper blades OEM Volkswagen or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
I’ve tried Bosch Icon and other models and brands and the best blades that work are the VW OEM, which cost the same as Bosch.
Pros: best blades that work
Cons: cost the same
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
On my way to work I had the wipers on at low speed. When I came to a stop light the engine stopped and the wipers switched to intermittent automatically. When the engine re-started, they went back to low speed.
Pros: wipers switch to intermittent
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I have only purchased the OEM blades for my '15 and have no complaints. They are streak free, work well at speed and last a long time (I change mine about every 6-8 months)
Pros: streak free, work well
Part number: 3C8 998 002
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
I’ve had my car for 6 months. It’s loud on the return wipe, like it’s there is not enough water so it stutters. It happens regardless of how much water is on the glass. I had a MK7 and it was silent. Its happened since day 1, I’ll start by changing the blade and see if that is the issue.
Cons: loud on return wipe, stutters
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
My wife's '21 Sonata wipers are so horrible lol
Cons: horrible performance
Vehicle:
Hyundai Sonata
Don’t get the Hyundai blades, they’re overpriced and complete garbage.
Cons: overpriced, complete garbage
