Silicone is the material. PIAA was the starter/most popular, SilBlade is a cheaper option. My PIAAs lasted me 10 years on first set. Got inserts and they are like 7ish years old now. Plus the silicone coats your windshield and give you a light RainXish coating.
PIAA Silicone blades. They last much longer than any others I've ever used.
A little more obscure than Bosch, but I've found them to be superior and last longer. PIAA Si-Tech. Lasts 5-7 years for me with no streaking.
I grudged paying for Bosch wiper blades through my MOT repairs until I actually used them. Won't buy anything else now.
Bosch Aerotwins with Rain X fluid. I am usually sceptical about such expensive alternatives to pretty much anything from Tesco, but with a new set of blades it's brilliant stuff.
Bosch have been generally good for me, I managed 4 years on one set of front wipers on my panda and they were still good when I sold it
A simple high quality wipe blade (Bosch Icons) lasted me 4 years with great visibility in rain. No spray needed or residue left on windshield.
I used them on our two Volts. The are the same type of blade, just different lengths and they worked great and still look OEM without some big goofy adapter.
Bosch are the absolute best your gonna get for the price no doubt.
THIS!!!! I just tried some rainx, trico, and bosch icon. ALL of them showed to fit in the computer at fleet farm. The respective websites also confirm fitment. The rainx were not even close. Like 1/8in too wide. The trico just wouldn't fit as well. The icons would start to go in, but would only slide half way. The icons were 21oe and 26oe. The vw atlas wiper arm has two tabs that interfere with the bosch clip. I ground down the width of the icons clip and got them to slide in, but they won't snap in place. I zip tied them to keep them on. TOTALLY unacceptable for 60$ in wipers. I had to use them because I was on a road trip. I'm going to write bosch and see what they say.
