Wiper Blade Recommendations ?

I use the Rain-X Latitude blades on mine and I really like them. My mom's Dodge Nitro had the Bosch blades on it when she bought it and I didn't care for them much at all. They didn't seem to perform as well or last as long as the Latitude blades in my opinion.

I use the Bosch and swith to Amco winter blades as the season changes.
One little trick that will greatly extend the life of any blade is to wipe them liberally with Armor All or Son of a gun or just about any protectant. Let them sit a few minutes and wipe off the excess. Do this a day before rain is expected.
I was at the APAA[Automotive Parts And Accessories Association] show in Chicago the year Armor All came out. One of their demonstrations was doing this and the wiper blade manfacturers got them kicked out!

I used Bosch Icons and have used them on my last three(3) vehicles with good success. I tried the Rainx blades and they were very short lived. I was sorry I let the guy talk me into them even if they were on sale. I live in Louisiana and use my wipers alot and the Icons are they best I have found over the years. Most if not all wipers work good on day one. To me it is their lasting ability that determines if they are good or bad. I have had my current set of Icons in service for 14 months and they work as good as the day I installed them.

In all the years I have been buying wiper blades, I've only had one pair I was not that happy with from the onset as they streaked pretty bad on one wiper. No big deal - I just went out and bought another set from a different manufacturer. If they work, they work. I wouldn't sweat about buying 'the best'.
