    I usually get a few years out of the OEM ones. They're almost the same price as a pair from the parts store too.

    Morning to All.
    I just in past day or so. Treated my windshield with Aquapel and installed New Trico Wiper Blades on my 2016 Tundra SR5.
    I will retreat my windshield in 6 months as per their recommendation.
    I have never had a problem from either of them.

    Doesn't matter which wipers we put on, if we don't get the glass as clean as possible first.

    X2. Have been using these wipers from Costco, and Walmart for almost a decade now. Can't beat the price.

    I ordered some on Amazon and I shit you not they have been stellar. I’ll attach the link. I got them because my dealer isn’t close to me and these were same day delivery. I was impressed with the packaging, and product itself.

    I use Aquapel on the windshield and Trico Flex blades on all my cars. Whenever I add wiper fluid, I wipe down the blades with rubbing alcohol. Doing those things, I never have any skipping or chattering no matter the rainfall amount. I get about a year or more out of a set of blades. The nice thing about the Aquapel is the faster I go, the less I need the blades.

    I went with Bosch Icon wiper blades. Project Farm on YewTube recommended them with thorough testing and I trust his word.

    What size wipers are you guys using. My originals I thought were 26" and 23". I see on many sites they are now 26" and 22"

    I believe mine were 26" and 22". I remember thinking the smaller unit would require a 23" but realized the 22" works out perfectly. I'd ask the auto shop to let you take it out the box and measure up real-time if I were you.

    I can’t recall what brand I bought but they have a yellow dot on them and they’ve been awesome for two years in the SC sun.
