Need to replace wiper blades
OEM inserts is the way to go. I have some Goodyear wiper blades right now and not really satisfied with the product. The driver side wiper doesn't always lie flush against the contour of windshield and as a result the water isn't completely wiped away and there is a small patch of water left.
OEM refill is the most economical route because they last long and aren't too expensive. I get all my Lexus wipers at Toyota as long as I can cross-reference it. They're generally under $15 a pair, basically on par with the crappy blades at the auto part store.

RainX, Bosch or OEM are all pretty good. They work as intended and I've never seen them crap out.
Just replace it youraelf, literally takes 2 minutes. You just unlatch a "J" hook and replace. Done.
I have rainX quantum, it's good. Clears all the water in one swipe, just like it should.

In my experience, OEM is definitely the way to go. I would just buy the refills in the parts department and do it yourself, it's maybe a five minute job if you've never done it before and are following the instructions in the owners manual, faster still if you've done it before, and requires no tools.

For a part as cheap as wiper blade refills, I figure the shipping costs will wipe out most of the savings. Over the years I've also had the parts guy comp me small things like keyfob batteries and the clips that hold the mud flaps on, so I certainly don't regret establishing a good relationship with them.
