Please? I need new ones bad, what should I get? Mostly worried about rain. Have an 07 camry if that matters. Not too expensive please. Prefer online but wouldnt mind B&M.
 
I have the rain-X graphite ones that work pretty well. I had the michelin equivalents but they sucked so I returned them.

The Bosch ones are also good.

OEM seem to be the best, usually.

To me, it seems the first set last the longest and do the best job. The only time that I had the dealer replace mine with OEM, they did really well. It is however more pricing to go that route compared to what you find at Walmart.
 
Amazon has $6 Anco blades and they have actually worked really well for me. I've also used Bosch in the past and they were good too.
 
i got sick of replacing the expensive ones every year, az summers toast pretty much every brand ive tried. so, i get the cheapies and still replace them yearly
 
I recommend Anco .. very good blades and if they say they fit your car, they will fit with no issues.

This is a good point. The same goes for up north where winter often destroys your wipers as well. Usually a notch or 2 above the most basic works well and is cheaply replaceable each year.

I had these great Bosch wipers for my Jetta and Civic. I wish I knew the brand so I could get them for my 8.

Probably Bosch Icon. I think thats what I have on my car and they worked great. Although now at I think 2+ years they are sort of toast, I've just been too lazy to replace them.
 
I paid 50 bucks for Bosch Icons for in 2 months they went to crap streaking.

They are quiet but they streak water right in drivers view. If you get some bug gut on your window they will just smear it all over.


No impressed at all.
 
oem is generally the best, especially if they have one of the one-piece flexible blades. if not, i would rec probably a bosch equivalent, they make a lot of the OEMs.

you generally get what you pay for. if you pay 10 or less a blade, they're going to work ok at first and then suck. pay 15 or more and hopefully they'll be good to excellent at first and okay for a long while. it helps to clean them periodically. but generally wipers just aren't that great after 2-3 months of being exposed to the elements. at 6-12 they're falling apart.

have not had good luck with ancos. even their $7-8 blades seem overpriced.
