Best performance wiper blade?

[Int3grity]

What would you recommend as a good Wiper brand?
Best performance aside the OEM one.

Personally, I've always found that the OEM one's work better than any of the other high performance brands. If the blade doesn't match the overall curve of the windshield, parts of the rubber wear faster and then you start getting streaks. JMHO...

I just picked up a set of Anco to replace the POS Michelins I got about a month ago. They're working great, where Michelins did little more than smear the water back and forth since they were new. Wish I'd kept the receipt because they woulda went back. But..since no receipt, they went in the trash.

I've always found that as long as you wipe them off, keep them clean, there is no problems with the stock ones.

I use RainX so I don't use my wipers very much. My mustang with 25,000 miles on it and 2 Wisconsin winters was traded in with the stock wipers still on it.

And I'm obsessed with a clean windsheild so I can assure you they were still working very well.

Rain X is making wiper blades now... theirs might be good.

Personally I just go with oem replacement strips. They're cheap and work better than 99% of the aftermarket crap.

Anco or RainX - I've tried all the Bosch; they're ok I guess but the money is better spent elsewhere.

OEM > all

Tried Bosch, Rain X, and the cheaper brands. I have a set of RainX on my BMW right now and they are trash. Going to go back to Bosch or OEM. I've always had best results with OEM.

i used to use PIAA blades. I haven't checked if they have them for the CX-7, but raining seasons isn't even close.... so until than....

according to consumer reports the best thing is to stick with oem blades.

I guess it just depends on what car or truck you have the blades on... My 94 f150 they chatter like no tomorrow and they are brand new bosch blades.

Bosch Ikon. Rpalced OEM with Ikon next week after purchase. More than happy.
Did the same thing before for my previous Mazda3.
but be honest Cx-7 OEM wipers better than Mazda 3 OEM wipers.

Valeos, 2 for 1 special at tirerack.com right now. Had a pr for over 2 years, still streak free goodness. Much better than my oems were that didn't make it a year before streaking out.
