I used to use the cheapest wiper blades I can find for less than $5, and replacing them almost every other months. Once, I bought a set of wipers with silicon blades for over $20 a piece, and it lasted long time and worked so well, but can’t remember the brand since the store stop carrying them anymore. Since then, I’ve tried a couple other silicon blades as well as some other brands, but haven’t found one I really like yet…
Recently I tried Goodyear wiper blade from Costco since they had it for buy one get one free, and though it was okay at first when I put on, but did not last long, and start streaking quite badly after a month or so. also, it has a metal backing that sticks out from the end cap, and over time it made a scratch on my A pillar (I ended up cutting off the edge and touched up the scratch it made!)
After some searching I narrow it down to few choices. I need 18″ and 20″ for my RX-8, and 19″ and 22″ for my wife’s Highlander.
The question is should I go
“Good Trusted Brand that will last for years”,
“Can’t go wrong with that price so CHEAP!!!”
or something in between…
I know “You get what you pay for”, but when the price differences between the PIAA and the No Name brand being almost $80 for two cars, it’s really hard to decide… well.. if the cheap one last for a few months, and the PIAA last for more than a year, PIAA maybe the better choice… but who knows…
any suggestions?? Please leave me some comments!!!
-Edit- I added Bosch Icon to the list
