Denso Designer hybrid low-profile frame wipers. The Denso wipers are what came OEM on my 2009 Subaru Forester and they just work great and last. They also look great on cars that have the traditional hook attachment. You don't get that big center block with extraneous mounting holes. The wiper sits flush with the arm. I've used them on a Miata, a Mazda 2, an Odyssey, and a '97 Accord.
I get rain-x wipers, but always replace them in may/june before the monsoons. Only go through one set a year though.
I recently replaced mine with Rain X wipers and I'm in love with them. It's been raining a lot here in California, but I can see perfectly!
The Nov. 2008 Consumer Reports found that only RainX Latitude, $17, performed better than average after 6 months
After trying a lot of different blades over the years, these days I order Denso Designer blades for all my cars from Rockauto (not affiliated, just a fan). They were OEM on my '09 Subaru Forester and they work great and last a long time.
Trying Rain-X Latitude blades I had gone to the few local shops that carried the Anco blade, but all of them had to order it from their supplier because they didn't keep in in stock. When installing the blade, it clicks into place and is solidly secured. I will be using them from now on as long as they last a year or more.
Anyway, got Denso replacement wipers and they're working really well so far. Denso 160-3124 and 160-3118 are the part numbers in case you look into them, 18\" passenger and 24\" driver
RainX Latitude were my favorite with my Mazda 6. They run about $40-50 for the pair, maybe less since the 3 uses smaller blades, and last a long time and work very well.
I've tried and tried but these rain x latitude wiper blades will not click into place on the j hook on the wiper stalk! I can get them to kind of clip on but it's a really loose fit. They don't audibly click when I put them on, they just seem barely perched there.
Wiper Blade Stuff I ended up buying blades for $50 a pair...and by the way never use Rain-X or similar type products on your windshield, it makes your wiper blades clatter
