20 Best Wiper Blades For Winter (2023 Updated)

Everything about the wiper blades was perfect with the exception of the price. WAY, WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! The blades do a fantastic job, the instructions made installation a easy and this is the second time I’ve purchased this brand and model.

Last time I used them for about 10 months before it became necessary to replace. I’m gonna use that information to attest to the quality. 4stars for quality, ease of installation and instruction. Minus 1 star for price! Thank you Mike.

These are hands down the worst wiper blades I’ve ever used. I bought them yesterday and the passenger side works just fine, no use to the driver. But the driver side blade, the big one the most important one only makes contact with the windshield on the way up and leaves it smeared and doesnt make contact with most of the windshield on the way down so i figure maybe it just needs some use.

So here we are the next day and it’s raining pretty good outside and I can’t see on the highway so I stop back at Walmart to swap for a new one thinking the one I got was defective. After all the passenger side is working just fine.

So I put the new one on and try it a couple times and it swiped good so I drive off and no sooner did I get on the road it started smearing and I cant see a thing. Stear clear of these wastes of time.

I bought them for my 2004 Honda Accord.

Was impossible to figure out how it is installed. The image instructions are not very good. Could not get it to install correctly on the one wiper is exchanged. I don’t think the connecting piece was manufactured to specs correctly.

I bought these for my 2002 Mercury Mountaineer based on the great reviews here. It was a mistake. Maybe it’s my vehicle’s windshield type, but, these things are HORRIBLE in the snow and ice! They streak terribly.

Snapping them doesn’t work or help. The ice build up heavy on them very quickly. I’m not trying to be mean to Trico, and I have no suggestion on another brand, but, these are probably THE WORST wipers I’ve had in 26 years of Buffalo driving.

And that includes those stupid “Double Blade” gimmicks in the 90’s. I had to buy wipers for my other vehicle as well, and noticed that it requires one 26″ and one 17″. Oddly, the reviews of Trico Ice on those sizes were much worse, about 2.

5 – 3 stars. Much more in line with the experience I had with these 22″ ones. I need to try a new brand. Though I only bought these in November 2015, I doubt I’ll get any compensation. If you have a 2002 – 2006 Mountaineer or Explorer, do NOT buy these.

Dont buy the rain x wiper blades. They are junk, the worst I ever used. 2012 camaro with a perfect windshield. These wiper blades will not wipe the windshield clean, they skip streak and I constantly have to clean the windshield myself.

They dont cling to the windshield. I even used rain x which itself is a great product but I feel cheated on their overpriced rip off wiper blades. Do yourself and run from Rain X wiper blades. If you buy cheap $3.

00 blades they will always beat rain x blades. I’m glad we dont have snow I feel sorry for those people. Dont put your life at risk by using rain x wiper blades. they stole my money.

Have used this Rain-X on previous family cars. Was going to use on son’s ’18 Subaru Crosstrek. Found out their special wiper arms accept a totally different mount than one typically sees (I did not know) plus the washer sprayer is built into the side of the wiper arm, so non OEM blades could block that.

I gave small size blade to daughter for her Altima and the bigger size can be used in another year or so on the wife’s car. Live and learn. Past use was fine for Rain-X and this is a very good product.

Every so often, clean the wiper blade with alcohol on a towel to get build up off and smoother action on the glass.

These Rain-X wipers are great! We are using them on our Toyota Sienna and they work effectively for clearing rain, snow, and road debris. The blades stay pliable in hot, cool and cold conditions and work properly to clean the windows.

These Rain-x wipers are also pretty good in the lifespan department, lasting longer than economy blades. They seldom squeak or streak (maybe sometimes during the first few passes but that is not uncommon for any blade) and they install and uninstall very easily on just about every passenger car with their dual included arm adapter clip.

Overall, these wipers work well, last decently long and are available in most sizes at an affordable price. When you need them in crummy weather, these blades will not let you down.

Rain-X has recently been doing some serious television advertising on their wipers which I have used before. My 2014 Ford F-150 has two 22 wiper blades and the install took less than 5 minutes using no adapters.

Be sure you measure both blades on your vehicle because sometimes the two are different lengths. Now I have read some reviews stating that these blades dont hold up well, but there are many weather factors at play here.

If your vehicle stays outdoors in the sun or freezing weather that is a huge factor. I recommend using a good glass cleaner every month or so to clean your windshield and I dont mean a household cleaner.

There are glass cleaners specifically made for vehicles which prevent spotting and provide a smooth surface for your wipers. All wiper blades are not easy, but if you take your time you can figure it out.

These are a great item. They work as they should. However, I strongly suggest buying this item elsewhere due to my opinion of ECS tuning having the worst customer service that you will ever experience.

I purchased Bosch wipers before and they worked fine. These were on sale for less than half of the other model and I found out why. These are junk. The longer left side blade didn’t even make full contact with the windshield in the center.

The shorter right side worked for a couple months, but then started skipping and making a loud rubbing noise. Hopefully Bosch discontinued this model.

Second set of these for two cars. They really are great wipers. However, getting them to fit on your car requires changing the mount adapters. This can be a bit tricky. Pro tip: pull really damn hard on the pre-installed mount to get any of the other adapters on!.

I am using Trico wiper blades for 6 years now on both of my vehicles. They were always the best for me and I recommended this brand to my family and friends. Before this purchase I had Trico Maxx. This time I decided to buy Trico Flexx and was disappointed.

Trico Flexx was the 1st type of the Trico wiper blades that I bought the very first time 6 years ago. And I was impressed. But both of the blades didn’t clean up the water right in the center. I am keeping the old blades until I make sure that new ones work good.

I put the old ones back and they didn’t leave the water in the middle of the wiper. It means the problem was in the new blades and not in wiper arm. I took them back to store for return. But the guy on the check out told me that wiper blades is not something returnable.

C’mon man, the information on the website and in the app says I can do it in 90 days time frame window if they are defective. So, he needed to check it with his manager. Manager approved refund, but they told me that problem in wiper arm, but I know it’s not.

Buyer beware!! I really can’t evaluate the actual wiper blades fairly and this is why. We were traveling in our RV and made an emergency stop at Camping World for the blades because it had been raining hard and our old blades were shot.

The rain stopped so we went on our way. When we tried to install them later we were miles down the road. We found there was no adapter to fit our blade arms. This piece is shown right on the box and nowhere does it say you have to purchase separately.

When we called Camping World they said they don’t sell the adapter. Be prepared to spend money buying the extra piece and more time hunting one down.

After proper install in my 08 Ram, seemed to work fine with using the windshield fluid no streaks. The Colorado snow storms a month later in January. The blades showed their true colors. Driving home yesterday in 30* weather with the defrost on full blast the blades left streaks on three points of the the windshield, driver and passenger side.

I will be sticking with the Bosh icon that blade is tried and true and last.

Went from Stock honda wipers to these. They are NOT worth the cost. First things I noticed when putting them on, they squeal. This was on a fully washed window. About 1 month later, after cold temps, the drivers side broke off and flew off on the highway! What a piece!! In the snow / cold temps, they also didn’t seem to clean very well.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I’m so ticked off about this, I had to say something. Mind you, they did clean water off the window well. But, definitely not worth the price and hassle. I will be going back to the stock honda wipers as they cost the same amount for both wipers as one of these does.

These are straight up junk in my opinion!!.

These work pretty good, but for the high price of these I expected better results. This is for my rear windshield. It wipes great on the area it touches. No dragging or bouncy or noise blade. I give it that.

The spring tension overall is to weak so about an Inch or more on top and bottom it doesn’t wipe. My cheaper RainX set wiped better. Also I don’t like the overall look when it’s mounted. I wish it had a clean cover cap design like some do in the center.

The Metal arm and bracket is and open design mount. Bosh for example has a more clean look design.

The Super blades work great with the silicone “rainex” on steroids they include. The coating hasn’t worn off in 6mo I’ve been using these blades on several of my vehicles. I look for them to last at least two years to be worth the price.

I had to replace my old wiper blades because one of them tore in the latest blizzard as I tried to detach them from the iced windshield. I was worried installation would be a hassle. I was impressed that Canadian Tire has an interactive screen in their wiper aisle: you type in the year, make and model of your vehicle and it tells you which manufacturers and which models exactly will fit your vehicle.

I chose Bosch because of the reviews of it standing up to the test of time, and I did not want to find myself changing wipers again in a year. The wipers I bought was so simple to instal. The instructions are just a series of photos that are a bit hard to interpret, but the instal was so easy that it did not really matter.

I am a 62 year old woman who installed the wiper blades in minus 18 degree weather. The hardest part was getting the old wiper blades unstuck (again) from the windshield, and releasing them from the wiper arm when the release was a bit icy.

They were a bit frozen. But that is not Bosch’s fault. It is mine for having to instal them in January in Canada. I definitely recommend these as an easy instal. If you have to use an adaptor that comes with the blades (which I did not), I think it is best to take off your old blade, go inside where it is warm, and compare the adaptors to what is on your old blade.

The premounted adaptor was the one I needed, even though it looks a bit different than what is on my old blade. I am impressed that the instal was so easy! Thanks Bosch.

Always consistently performs. 4 stars bc 4. 5 isn’t an option. Loses. 5 stars bc they start out perfect, but the bottom driver side wiper starts to miss bits on my car. Could be a model issue. But they are always better for longer than any other wiper I’ve tried.

I replace annually in winter so they’re peak performance when I need to clean the window. I like the window hugging flex and they stay snug through wind and rain. Get some water repelling fluid like RainX and you’re good to go.

Used to use Reflex blades (3. 5-4 star) bc I loved the Wet-tec water repellent on them and they were good for hugging the window, but Bosch is better for longer. Don’t guess about fit. Make sure it’s the correct one for your car and follow install instructions.

Wiper them self are fantastic Highly Recommended. However, the Rebate offer that is posited on AutoZone site as active is in fact expired and is not active. I reached out to AutoZone and their answer was that Rebates are handled through the vendors and thay have no control.

NO CONTROL of what is offered and posted on their own website. How can that be. sounds like we have a company that is willing to take your money and make promises that they do not attend to keep or back up their offers.

Now we are only talking about $10 here. A company with annual sales that exceed $2. 2 Billion and a stock price over $2000. 00 and they can’t take care of a $10 rebate. Now think $10 time how many purchases and how many other vendors within the $2.

2 Billon company. Take care of your customers and stand behind the offers posted on your website.

Well worth the price. I got them on sale. Bogo 50% off. Easy install. It was my first time installing wiper blades. They went on a 2007 Impala. They hug the windshield leaving no streaks during the rain or snow fall.

They are quiet too;).

Easy to replace. Watching a YouTube video helped . They are cleaning my windshield well. Much cheaper to DIY than pay a mechanic to do this simple task!

I purchased the 18, 20, and 24 inch Michelin cyclone hybrid blades for my 2002 Mercury Sable wagon. The 20 and 24 inch blades for the windshield work nice and smooth. The 18 inch blade for the hatch in its down sweep doesn’t touch the glass on the top 3-4 inches and the bottom 4-5 inches.

Not enough flex in the blade to form to the glass. Would like a blade that would make contact in the full sweep. Thanks.

Received wiper blades were an exact fit and were easy to install. Wiper blades performed exceptionally well during rain storm. Great product and price value for 2 blade package.

Great product. Directions were ok. Hard to get the adapter piece removed but once I did, wipers fit like a charm and are of excellent quality!

Excellent wiper blades and so far they have out performed any other wiper blades that I had in the past and it also last three times longer saving your money so you can spend more money on the brand names claim to be the best but you won’t be wasting your money on these highly recommend them.

Simple metal framed wiper blades. Nice thick gauge metal for durability. Rubber refill part is clamped into place but could conceivably be refilled using a Trico refill of appropriate width and a simple pair of pliers for the bottom tip.

The rubber supplied is high quality, with graphite coating to lessen glass grab. If you take care of the material with a UV resistant fluid like Protectant 303, it could last for years. But the price is low enough that you could replace these every 6 months if you are lazy like most drivers.

Keep in mind this type blade only fits J-hook, Bayonet-simple and 3/116″ side-pin type installations.

Plugged in my vehicle make/model to Advance Auto Parts web app, and these wipers were recommended to me. Said they were a fit for my 2015 Honda Accord LX. I just spent a frustrating hour screwing with these cheap wipers and attempting to do the large J-hook install without success.

The design is awkward and it’s hard to remove the small J-hook piece in order to install the large J-hook piece. (Watched the Rainx videos for this wiper, which makes it looks so simple, as if the hardware wasn’t cheap garbage.

) Came back online, clicked my order link and now the Advance web app says, “Does Not Fit your 2015 Honda Accord LX”. This sucks. Not shopping with Advance again, and not buying these trash Rainx Weatherbeaters again.

I bought these wiper based on the salesman recommendation of suppose to be the latest and greatest. The saleman also said they were smooth and quite operating blades compared to the others. They seemed to work well for the first 30 days.

Now, 2-3 months old, if the wiper blades are not on a steady fast speed, they skip across the world shield. They still keep the windshield clear of rain but, they make a loud thumping noise as they skip across the windshield.

This happens on slow steady and delayed mode even in a heavy rain. Went to the store yesterday to see what if anything could be done about this. Took one blade off the truck so the salesman could see it.

He ran his finger across the blade and said it was smooth with no nicks. I told him they should be because I bought them 2-3 months ago. He looked on the computer and said there was no warranty on them.

So I’m stuck with a very expensive defective set of the latest and greatest wiper blades. To boot, there was a $10. 00 Advanced Auto rebate in the form of a gift card that I applied for online, it got approved but, I have never received it.

Advanced Auto you should be embarrassed at the cost of this latest and greatest expensive set of wiper blades with only a 30 day warranty and not stand behind this expensive wiper blade. The old saying, more expensive doesn’t necessarily make it better, comes into play here.

I will have to rethink my desire to do business with your stores in the future. I would definitely discourage anyone spending their hard earned money on these wiper blades.

The wife tasked me with getting new wipers (26″ & 22″) for our minivan after complaining she couldn’t see in the rain. I figured I’d give premium blades a try to see if they lasted longer and worked better.

To quote my wife “those wipers are awesome. ” 6 months later they’re still working like new. I like the mount, to me it looks cool through the windshield – see picture.

These wipers are great! I had always used the least expensive windshield wipers on every car I’ve ever had. But after the recent horrible snow storm we had I decided to try a better wiper blade. I followed the recommendation of the salesman at the store and now I am a Bosch Winter wiper fan forever!.

I ordered this in February for a 2011 Outback for our 10 day trip through N Dakota, S Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas. With lots of snow and ice falling, temperature below -20 the wipers never chartered or clogged up.

They are only 6 months old now and even with this being a winter blade they are still holding up to a Texas summer great. Will buy again. About the same price as the other premium blades that don’t preform as well in the winter.

I love them!! They are strong and durable. They make no sound when in motion. They are streak free. So happy with my choice

I bought this thinking it was supposed to be a higher quality wiper blade. Exactly 30 days to the day after purchase and literally 2 rain events, the blade ripped in the center at the worst time, right in the middle of a thunderstorm while going down the freeway.

Stupid me didn’t have the original receipt, but I didn’t think twice to keep it since all other wiper blades I’ve purchased lasted me at least two years, even Wal-Mart’s cheap $5 wiper blades! Luckily the guy at the store took care of me and let me exchange to some Bosch blades and just charged me the difference, though he noted that the warranty on them had already expired, even though it was only 30 days.

Wow. How’s that for not guaranteeing your product? Even he noted that the Rain-X latitude wipers are junk and he won’t touch them. What a shame.

The windshield reference book for finding your size wiper blade was wrong. I have a Toyota Camry 2009. The driver side is twenty-four inches and the passenger side is twenty inches. When I turned on my wiper during the first rain storm, the blades kept hitting each other.

I went back to Oreilly’s to find out the problem and the passenger side blade was too long. I ending up buying a nineteen inch wiper blade. The clerk would not exchange the blade. I ended up buying the nineteen inch wiper blade.

So I ended up paying for three wiper blades. I provided the clerk with my receipt, but that was of no avail. It was my first use of the wiper blades. I would like to get a refund for the twenty inch wiper blade.

We purchased both front wipers and the rear wiper for our 2010 Prius. We anticipated free installation on all 3 blades. The store manager refused to install the rear blade as they said they are too difficult.

We came home. Watched a 2 minute YouTube video and installed it ourselves. No problem. At 78 years old and 73 years old, it would seem if we can do it, O’Reilly employees should be able to learn how.

Bosch SP16 Is a great no fuss wiper. Clears the windscreen effectively and is good value for money. The SP16 16” wiper blades fit perfectly on the front and rear of my 1982 MG Metro 1300. Being a 1982 model It uses the older pin Style fixing Which the SP16 Wiper Blades has.

The holes for the pin which some other wiper models including older Bosch blades haven’t had. To use the pin fixing, just need to unclip the plastic fixing which is provided for the hook type wiper arm fixings later cars use.

Went into local Halfords to search on the electronic catalogue for a rear wiper blade for a 57 plate Vauxhall Meriva. The recommended blade was 30cm long. Glad I measured the one on the car beforehand as it’s actually 40cm!! It would have been annoying if I had relied on the electronic catalogue for the wiper blade info.

The on-line search for wipers told me which ones fitted my car for nearside or off side. There were wiper options for both. The customer reviews helped me decide the Bosch wipers were the best for me for customer satisfaction but they were a bit more expensive than some of the options.

They were the right size and simple to fit. So far all is okay.

Great wipers at a good price/ Easy to install/ Ensure after install, compress against windshield by lifting then dropping against and making sure it hugs windshield well
