I love rainx wipers
The wiper assembly on this car is one of the best of any car I’ve had. When the original blades started to get streaky, I did briefly try some michelin and rainx blades to replace the OEM blades, but found they were both a downgrade. Both were larger than OEM, which generated extra noise, and caught the wind when at speed so they would chatter and skip. Less than ideal especially in inclement weather.
I’ve been using OEM blades ever since. I typically replace the wiper blades in the fall, and then if I notice any issues with streaks in the spring I replace again.
This is my second winter with the car and OEM blades, and I’m not having any issues with the blades or fluid. If I do miss anything, the wipers and the winter fluid take care of the rest.
They fit, but I bought Michelin wipers (made by Anco), and they work just as good as the Bosch.
I have used the Michelin Wiper Blades from Costco and don\u2019t find anything wrong with them. I use them on 3 vehicles and get at least a year out of them. I think they are a great value.
I got RainX wipers at Princess Auto. Great blades and well priced. The Costco Michelin ones are garbage
I only get a year out of the Costco Michelin blades. I bought some reflex ones from CT and they are far better. Still good after 14 months.
I stopped buying their Michelin wipers when one fell off mid wipe after following their instructions to the last step.
It rained today and I noticed the blades only make contact with 1/2 the windshield. They are Rain-X Latitude so you can avoid them. The windshield just has too much curve for the blade.
Their wiper blades suck to in my experience.
I personally used Bosch on all my cars but I got the Rain X ones recently. Amazing in rainy weather, total ass for durability winter wise, they are already losing shape.
