Windshield Wipers for 2014 Mazda3

What are others using?

I find the ones that came with the vehicle not so hot. They streak a lot. The auto function I turned off as it wipes at wrong time when there is no water/etc on window causing streaks.

In colder temps, snow/ice freezes up on them easily it seems making me stop and break off the ice and continue on until there is ice build up again .. doesn't take long. Yes, I have the defroster on.

I have found that with newer wipers (old ones are just a lost cause) the blade may be dirty. Clean it very well. I will use an alcohol prep pad on the blade if its really bad. Also I use Rain-X or the PPG Aquapel. The ice problem on the metal supports is a different problem. Wax on that may slow down the ice sticking.
