Default Windshield Wiper Recommendations

I'm looking for new windshield wipers, I've been doing some research and have been given a lot of mixed reviews between Rain-X and Bosch. I currently have Rain-X Latitudes but the passenger ends doesn't fully wrap around the windshield for some reason, and I've had them on for about a year so it's time to replace them anyways, and yes they are the correct size. 18/24. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Whatever they sell at Costco. Oem, Rain-X, Goodyear, they all do the same thing :P

TRICO Teflon Shield Premium Hybrid Wiper Blades are decent and close to the look and fit of the OEM's. Hard to find in retail stores around me, got them online.

What metrik said. Costco usually has them go on sale and I'll just buy a pair and change them throughout the year. They're usually ridiculous cheap and have worked great. I would know since I live in the rainiest state, Washington state...

I've tried a lot of brands, Bosh are pretty good but OEM are the best.

I went with Michelin Stealth Hybrid Wiper Blade. They seem to perform good and look sturdy. I had ordered the inserts for the OEMs but when I went to put them in, I realize the original owner must have replaced them.

I got some Rain X ones last minute due to the rain we've been having. Found a 20% off coupon from Pep Boys, no complaints there.

The best alternative to OEM Lexus wiper blades are the the Genuine Lexus Sightline Blades you can buy at any Lexus Dealer. It's a low profile arm and blade assembly (designed after the new factory lexus wiper blade arms). This is superior to any of the off the shelve blades you buy at the auto parts store.
