Guys,

I am looking for durable/good wiper blade for my TLS.

What brand/type should I get?

 

Have you tried going to you local automotive parts store ?
They usually have many "premium" branded wiper blades to select from.

With our wider blades, the newer designed integral blades seem to have better contact coverage. But when it comes to durability, I'm unsure.....because the winter's snow and ice usually tear mine up before springtime.

 

I've actually been using the same set of Rain-X Latitudes for a little under three years now. They're only now showing signs of wear.

 

Bosch have always worked for me,,note they have a left and right wiper for us,
different sizes and mounting direction (for aero spoiler on blade-keeps it down on the glass at speed)
ck out the parts store for vast selection

Wipers are the single cheapest safety device for the car. I replace mine every spring and fall.

Piaa makes good wipers, Rain-x are good, Silblade are probably one of the best and the only wiper i used for a whole year.

I recently replaced the oem wiper blades with Bosch Icons. What a difference! These are more expensive than just changing the inserts, but well worth it when it starts to rain/snow.

 

My car doesn't see much ice and snow. Maybe only a few times a year. So I can get away with not changing them for a long time. My wipers still wipe clean with no streaking

 

I recently put Valeo Ultimate blades on, and I like them better than the similar Bosch's that I put on my girls car.
Common cause of streaking is dirt getting stuck on the blade, whenever you wash the car make sure to wipe the blade off, it's often overlooked.

 

I bought some Rain X Weather Beaters at Autozone this week. They seem to work well. Got them on sale for about $10 each. The bad part was I had to replace the driver side one 2 times cause of streaking issue.

 

Thanks for the recommendations guys, I will go for Silblade
