It seems like no wiper blades ever work as good the ones on a new vehicle
A new vehicle windshield or new replacement is free of micro scratches, pits and chips and any wiper blades are going to work well and last longer on a smooth surface.
I like Bosch but I have had good luck with the blades they sell at NAPA.

Your new vehicle comes not only new wiper blades but a new windshield. By the time you need replacement blades your windshield has been subjected to a lot of minute abrasions from road grit. No replacement blade can adhere to a pitted surface as well as the original blades performed on the slick, new shield.
You did not even try to answer the question, but thanks for playing.

You're welcome, thanks.
There are glass coatings available today (much better products than Rain X) that will almost negate the need for wiper blades. They're pricey but when applied correctly they shed every drop of water that hits your windshield when traveling in excess of 30mph or so. The coating has to be reapplied 2 - 3 times per year and requires a little elbow grease but they work really well.

Bosch if you are a classy fellow;
RainX if you are a trashy fellow.

Doesn't matter what wipers you get if you aren't putting rainx in your wiper fluid, and not letting idiots dilute it with soap water when you bring your car in.
I rarely have to even use my wipers when it rains.

Since Yeti is over-priced and over-rated, then find one like it.

What's the white trash status symbol of windshield wipers?
Posted on 2/1/17 at 1:22 pm to Rouge
I just put RainX on my truck and they suck. They leave a slight fog on the glass for a split second after each wipe.

Tundra baws, how the frick do you change the wipers? Is it true what the dealership is saying, I have to replace the entire arm? It's a 2014

I've been using RainX and they're just OK. But they are a hell of a lot better than the Michelins I bought and replaced after a month.
The worst wiper I ever had was that Triple Edge. Complete garbage.

If you go through blades quickly, may want to look at a windshield treatment.
