Great advice, @edward17! I never thought about the arm type affecting installation. Next time I’ll double-check that before purchasing!
I’ve been using Bosch wiper blades for a year now, and they’re still going strong! On average, they last about 6 to 12 months if maintained properly.
That’s great to hear! I had mine replaced last winter and went with Rain-X. They’ve been decent but seem to skip a bit after 6-8 months.
The key to longevity is wiping down your blades regularly to remove dirt and debris. It can really extend their lifespan!
Absolutely! I also recommend checking the wiper arms for any rust or damage. Sometimes, it’s not just the blades that need attention.
I switched to Michelin wipers about 9 months ago. They work great and handle heavy rain well! Should last until next spring.
Nice! I’m curious about Michelin; anyone had experience with their winter blades?

Winter blades from Michelin are fantastic! They are more resilient against ice buildup, typically lasting about a year with good care.
That’s good to know! It’s tough finding ones that don’t freeze up in those harsh conditions.
Just keep an eye on those blades! If they’re squeaking or leaving streaks, it’s definitely time for a change, ideally before the rainy season.

Totally! And, if they start to look like they’ve been through a ‘Shark Tank’ episode, no shame in replacing them!
