I use OEM wiper inserts. Cheap and easy to replace and they work great!

I bought at the dealer OEM like wipers (they’re not OEM) and they worked for a couple of months and they’re out.

I think you should get only OEM wiper refills and that’s all.

I also use the OEM wiper inserts. Hopefully the OP still has the original wiper blades. They shadow the inserts so the sun tends to not hit directly onto the rubber, which is a big deal down here in Fla.

Yes, I made the mistake of going after-market on several of my cars in the past only to regret not going with just the OEM inserts. Never again! You just can't beat OEM!

Yeah Bosch was one of the worst sets that I’ve ever bought. The oem blades when I bought my 09 used from a dealer were unbelievable.

I got a set of Michelin's from Costco about 5 years ago. Worked well. I got another set a couple of months ago. Can't put them on because I can't get the old set off. Really annoying since the rubber on the passenger side blade is starting to come away. Sigh
