Best wiper blades

[HACK BLOCK]

what's the best wiper blades that fit our windshield?

I use rain x latitude and like them. They were a little hard to get on but do a great job. I also use rain x about 3X a year and rarely use wipers.

Beam style FTW. There are various brands. I have some I got off Amazon that seem every bit as good as the much more expensive Bosch ICONs that were on it.

1 thing I hate is bad wipers so I had to ask. I remember buying some wipers for my 04 and it didn't contour to the shape of the glass very well I had to return it

Yeah. On the NBS trucks, the curve of the glass makes the beam style wipers miss a little corner on the bottom of the passenger side. Thought about putting a heat gun on one to see if I could change it a little, but haven't gotten around to trying. I like the rain x ones.

Bosch Icon FTW. Coupled with Rain X a few times a year, and you’ll be surprised how you can see in the rain. All I ever have to use is slow delay at the most in all driving and rain conditions.

I installed these...

Ultimate Durability and Extreme All-Weather Performance Wiper Blade - Rain-X® Silicone AdvantEdge™

Rain-X Silicone wiper blades back in December and so far I am very pleased with them. I also use the Rain-X washer fluid which works great. I don't really even need the wipers when cruising along at a decent speed because the wind will keep the glass clear... unless it is coming down in buckets.

They were a little pricey at around $60 for the set from the local Advance auto parts but they had a $10 rebate at the time so it wasn't as bad. They maybe cheaper online, I don't know for sure as I didn't look.

Not sure how long these will last but I have had good success with Silicone blades in the past. The Florida heat is brutal and will rapidly deteriorate rubber blades.

so beam style is best for our trucks

Not necessarily. Kinda really depends on where you live. Conventional blades conform best to the windshield while beam style blades are better all season type blades, as ice and snow won't clog up the spaces between the blade and blade housing.

Up here we get a fair bit of liquid sunshine. Use the bosch icon's and rain-x. Love em. Generally get 2 seasons out of a set, so i don't mind the extra $10 a set over other brands.
