Bosch Icons for me, I run them on both my trucks with great results. I live in the PNW where it’s rainy season for a good part of the year and I don’t want to mess with trying something that may or may not work.

I don’t use rain x for the chatter reason.

So you’re saying just oem slide in replacements?

My dealer has Bosch and trico I think. I’ll have to look to see where oem blades are and the pn.
the Michelin Advanced Silicone Wiper


bit pricey but worth it smooth minimal noise.. no wind noise


24" for the driver side (for MAX wiping area it goes all the way to the edge of the glass on the top @ 12 o'clock) and 22 for the passenger side


I have 24 inch on both sides it has a small amount of over hang

i have only used them once or twice so far i might be able to use them this winter if we ever get some rain

I have always had bad luck with windshield wipers. The stock always worked great right up until the wore out. Really it was the rubber that got worn.

Every vehicle that I have ever replaced the wipers on, the new wipers never seemed to work well. They either shuddered, or left streaks with an uneven wipe, or just didn’t seem centered right.

Long story short, I need to replace mine on the Yukon Denali and I don’t want to screw around.

What fits right and works better than stock. Wipers are something that I will pay a premium for because In the rain or a dirty windshield or the snow... it’s what let’s you see.

Go to Toyota/Lexus auto parts and get a pair of this item (8521448010) and replace your wipers’ rubber.
I used it and they are perfect.

I went through this on my 16 Yukon Denali, had the wipers changed out at the GMC dealer while in for other service and asked for the stock units. Instead I received cheap aftermarket wipers that chattered and left streaks. I complained and was told that they "can't get" the factory wipers (at the dealer - really?). I ended up buying my next set from my local service garage and they weren't much better. On my new 2019 I'm planning on searching out the rubber inserts so I can keep my factory housings. They seem to work much better at highway speeds than any aftermarket wiper.

Bosch Icons here as well and love them...seems like they are highly rated in most tests/reviews I’ve seen. BUT also did this little trick and so far seems to work like a charm 2 years later...still performing like new...

He never even said WHAT conditioner to use, and at first he says to heat them with a hair dryer and soak them up to over night, but at the end he sprays something on the windshield and says to just do that twice a year and you’re good. I wonder what a mess those make on your windshield ? What do you use? I’m so confused after watching that...:crazy:
