    Best Windshield Wiper Blades?

    The "Baby Car" needs new wiper blades. Wondering what are the best ones? Any positive/negative feedback on brands/styles? Let me know.

    Thanks in advance!

    I personally found that the OEM Bosch blades worked the best, and last the longest against the elements. I've tried many other brands, and found that Bosch did the job, and did the job well. I'm sure you will get many opinions on here about different brands, but there's my 2 cents!

        Any blade will be good at first but I also found Bosch ones lasted longest...

          I found the michelin ones from costco work really well, wiper blades should be replaced twice a year anyways, its amazing how many people go years without changing them and then ***** that the ones theyve used are crap.

          the Bosch ones work good too, i think ill be using the michelin ones again tho.

            I got my Passat ones from dealer. The Bosch ones on from other stores were not the same fitment. The one OEM one's mount was off-centre on the blade by quite a bit and the blade covers the window better. The non-OEM Bosch ones were typical with the mount dead centre. They worked fine, but didn't cover as well. This will be car specific though... for most cars I think it won't matter.

                I use the Valeo's they are half the price of the Bosch and are just as good.

                  Valeos are pretty good, I personally run the Bosch Evolutions on the Passat and I get the Bosch Wiper Inserts for the GLI. I've heard good things about the Ultra-8 ones but cant bring myself to try them.

                    The only option you would have is the Bosch aerotwin / Valeo gen2 / OEM (which is Valeo) as they have a special connector for the audi models.

                    As for a generic blade I have been using Bosch icons for the past year. I love them

                      I use OEM Valeo, been great so far, on my second set since I got the car. I always make sure to have some RainX on the windshield so I don't have to wear them down as much.

                        OEM valeo/bosch aero's which should be on your car are the best
