I use Bosch and buy them off Rockauto for both my cars once a year. Around $4-5 per wiper and you pay shipping once.

I like Bosch Icon blades. They last 12-18 months in my climate (PNW USA).

You should check out PIAA silicone ones. I'm going on year 3 in Seattle with them.

Another vote for Bosch Icons. I think mine have been on for 4-5 years now and still working well. Starting to get a little streaky, but not worn out yet.

Yes they are pricey, but it's a good value.

I think I'm getting closer to 30 months on a set of icons now actually in the PNW.

I've never ordered from rock auto. Like, you only pay shipping on your first order and it's free fir each order after that?

What's he mean by you pay shipping once? Looks like they have great prices but shipping was $26 on wipers, an oil filter and an air filter.

I think he meant he orders both wipers at the same time so that he only has to pay shipping once. Rockauto makes you pay shipping everytime, nothing special.

I’ll probably explain this bad but here goes. Rock Auto doesn’t work like most online retailers and they will charge you shipping for every package in an order if they ship from different warehouses. So once you add an item to your cart you’ll notice letters next to other items as you shop, possibly an “A” at first. That means everything you see with an “A” will ship from the same warehouse. You want to try to purchase items that all ship from the same place or you will pay the full shipping price for each shipment. I’m assuming you didn’t because I’ve never paid them $26 in shipping even for brake rotors. But that’s where they shine is once you make one purchase you can find small items that are quite inexpensive and add them to your order and it doesn’t really add up to much more shipping cost. That’s what the other person meant by only paying shipping once. Hope that helped.

What really sucks is of you ever have to return said items, they all have to be sent back to each warehouse, A then B then C etc. So it really blows when you have to pay shipping to 2 different warehouses.

Aha! That makes more sense and that's a great tip. Yeah, it was shipping from three different warehouses so that explains the $26. Thanks for the explanation!

Wait you pay 4-5$ for Bosch fuck me that’s cheap, our cheap wipers aren’t even that low in eastern Canada. I just started buying them because I wanted quality products.

done drivers rain X and passenger Bosch the factory ones were better than rain x, Bosch looked and act premium

The first rain x I bought were faulty and the next pair were nothing special, they look so much cheaper

Seconding Bosch, mine last about a year and a half to two years at a time, at least for me
