Good wipers?

[Beev]

My windshield wipers suck. They only hit part of the wind shield, but if I bend them i can make them wipe the whole thing for a period of time.

I want some good blades. My current ones are ~$10 ones from Target. What are some good recommendations? Do they make "frost resistant" blades?

Bosch Icons work great, but are a bit more expensive than most.

I like my PIAA super silicon. I've never dealt with frost so I can't say but the set I put on has lasted over 2 years before I replaced the inserts. A bit more expensive than the standard wipers from autozone or kragen

Any of those style work great plus they don't look as fugly as normal wipers. Last a long time too.

I drive a lot... and these are by far the best wiper blades I've used. Nice not having a streaky windshield.

+1 for the new silicone blades.

Bosch, hands down.

Trico makes some good ones as well, but for long life and excellent wiping it is Bosch all the way.

There may be an issue here that won't be fixed by new wipers. Even $10.00 Target blades, unless they are ~1yr old, should contact the entire windshield. How much have you bent/fiddled with the wiper blades? Didn't bend the wiper ARM, did you?

For normal blades, I like the RAIN-X line,

RAINX makes some good ones. The regular RAINX wipers are for sale at walmart and many other palces.

Rainx Latitude Wipers are sexy tho.. http://www.rainx.com/Products/...r_Blades/Latitude.aspx

You should replace your wipers every 6 months.

I use those. They're good wipers. Especially when you keep your windshield coated in RainX.

Best. wipers. ever.

More expensive but worth it. And 2-3 years is normal replacement time for them, which makes up for the extra cost.
