Wiper blades PIAA or Bosch
I run Bosch Icons on my E and am very happy with them. They seem to last much longer than other wipers I've tried in the past. On my garage kept E my current set is 5+ yrs old and still wipe like new.
I always go for Bosch blades. They last forever.
I used Bosch Icons for many years but recently switched to Denso Designers. The Densos work a bit better and last a bit longer on my car, although they are more expensive.
As someone who lives in New England, I've had my best experiences with VW's OEM wipers and PIAA super silicone. Bosch icons were a close 3rd.
I use the rain-x or bosch wipers the most. I like them both really well.
Bosh in my experience are best.
Decent wiper blades (Bosch are best imo)
The Bosch wipers on my '08 do a pretty good job imo. Got newer ones put in last summer when I had to get the wiper relay board/motor replaced but after that they got me through a rough n' tough Wisconsin winter. So they'll probably hold up if you're just dealing with rain in SF.
Easy answer, replace with silicone PIAA 94060 and 95045 in front. Got mine in 2019 and they still clear the glass without any streaks even now.
Bosch Icon works not as good on my Sonata for some reason. The driver side squeal right away if it's only raining lightly, and the wipers go when I'm waiting for the green light. When the car is moving it's better. If I do a few squirts of washer it will go smoothly for a few minutes then back to squealing.
