Your new car should absolutely come with OEM wiper blades that allow you to replace the rubber part.
You get the little blade rubber inserts for way dirt cheap, I think it's like 7 or 8 bucks per blade, maybe less depending on the size. It can be a little fiddly to get em in some times, but I think the actual wipers are pretty good quality, so it's worth it to me to keep the oem blades, and get the replacement rubber.
I live north of Barrie and have been using rain-x blades for over 10 years. I find it's less about the blade itself and more about changing them out regularly. I recently put a set of rain-x quantums on a sportwagen and have been very happy with them so far.
I like rainx latitude, not the cheaper ones. thThey last a long time and wipe evenly even in the desert so I haven't tried much else. They look like just one elongated curved stick don't mistake them for the same rainx brand but the value ones that look like a it has a mechanical web type thing on the arm. They do come with a silicone coating to repell water.
I use Rain-X Latitude Water Repellency 26 and 24" on mine and they work well. In south Florida we get those random torrential storms and I have no issues with them.
Rainx silicone has always treated me well I love them. A bit pricey at like 25 a blade but worth it for how clean they keep your windshield
I run RainX on my Forester and they've done really well
I’ve had good luck with RainX blades. Even their cheaper options are okay.
I just bought rainX advantage wiper blades to replace my worn out OEM blades. I got the correct lengths , but the connection piece on the rainX blades don’t fit the arms on the car. Even with the other attachment it doesn’t fit.
'15 Legacy. Manual says 17" blade on passenger side but so far every one I've tried misses part of windshield. It's the 4" in the center of the blade which is making me think the curvature isn't quite right. I'm using Rainx brand.
Got the same issue with mine. They never clicked with the large j hook. If you push them they easily came out. Bad design. One came off while my wife was driving. Very unsafe.
