Wiper recommendations?

[ryun]

My personal iron triangle on this is fast (as in easy to install*) and good performance and quality. I don't need them to be cheap. What are you guys running?

Edit - Forgot to mention I live in the mid Atlantic so I deal with all manner of weather. Sleet/rain/hail/snow/etc.

*I haven't installed new wipers on my lightning yet. Replacing the blades on my Ford Fiesta was awful using the OEM style (I ended up buying bosch I think? It had a great adapter to make switching fast and easy) so I'm hoping Ford has made it easier since then?

I use the Bosch Icon 22A and 22B. I am in Northern Va and they do great in the Mid Atlantic weather.

Bosch ICON. As the user above mentioned, 22A/22B is the official fitment. But a common f150 "hack" is to buy 24A/24A. You'll get more surface area wiped, no downsides. I'm using it right now and its perfect.

I use rectangular leading-edge KIMBLADE blades on the truck for the past 12+ months. Recommend them.

I second this. My OEM blades didn't need replacing but they weren't cutting it either. I'm also convinced these are the best and worth the money.

Also a fan of Bosch!

Hadn’t heard of this hack but maybe I’ll try it.

These work incredibly. Don't let the price fool you. That is for the pair. https://a.co/d/8gXKDyd

I learned early on that you don't need to replace the whole blade mechanism. You can just replace the rubber bit. These are good and can be cut the desired length.

Yea, but why get these when you can spend $80/pair

Just had one blade start peeling apart and I bought the cheapest one to replace it with. I will now have mismatched looking wipers. Cost $10

Costco. $7.50. Either Goodyear or Michelin, depending on the rotation.

The Bosch Icons come heavily recommended in past threads. Don't pay full price, they go on sale quite often on Amazon. I paid $38 two years ago, they've been in the garage until last week, just put them on.

I prefer those $8 to $10 wipers, if the Bosch doesn't really outperform in some way, I'll be back to a cheaper wiper and replace them move often.

Thanks all. I ended up with the Bosch icons at my local autozone -- good excuse to pick up some donuts at the local bakery too. Wound up getting two 24A's since they didn't have the 22B's in stock. Quick, 5 minute install since the F150 uses those J hooks.

Ive switched to silicone wiper blades based on a recommendation from someone on here. Have had them over a year and theyre great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085BLVQNQ
