So my wiper blades are starting to wear out and I wanted to see if there was any option better than the stock ones. So for those of you that replaced them what did you go with or what would you recommend.

Thanks

I went with the top of the line rain-x ones. Wayyyy better than stock.

 

what were they called?? Latitude or fusion.

 

I'm using the Bosch Marathon blades, works good for me. If you want to go with Rain-X, get the Latitudes.

 

I like the OEM refills, cheap from sewell

 

I got the rain-x , works great but the coverage area of the edges aren't great. The edge of the blade doesnt curve to the windshield. Not sure if its the ones I brought or if others have this issue.

 

Bosch ICON, i've been using on gx470(not on the F) for 2 years, still work great.

 

If you clean your blades often with Isopropyl alcohol. You won’t need to change them till they tear. I havent changed mine in a couple of years.

 

Agreed. Such an easy install, and definitely more coverage than the OEM blade.

 

...and Rain-X or equivalent would help too. Mine are still original from day 1.

 

I ended up ordering the rain x latitudes. My blades have been on the car for 43k miles and I clean them with IPA all the time.

 

interesting, i do enjoy but i've always felt rain-x accelerates deterioration of the rubber. perhaps i've just had bad luck....

i have heard that aquapel is really good and lasts much longer on the windshield, but i have not tried yet.

 

I put rain-x spray on my windshield. I can't tell if I have bad wiper blades!

That stuff is amazing!

 

Doesn't the F have built in water repellent coating into the front windshield like the LS?

 

I haven't a clue. All I know is water beads and falls off much faster since application.
