Wipers

[TheKracka]

Did not see a thread for this as of yet. Curious to what wipers you all have tried. On the Focus I was getting Motorcraft since those lasted for 3 years but these on the Ranger have been bogus from day 1 so I decided to try Valeo 900 Series. Seemed like Rock Auto had the best price on them at $25.62 for the pair shipped.

I myself went back to the Motocraft. I haven't had much luck with some of the aftermarket wipers.

Real happy with Bosch, and recently discovered that you can clay bar the windshield. Works wonders.

Bon Ami on a wet sponge works really good too. And much cheaper than a clay bar....about $1.50 - $2 for a 14oz can.

Bosch Icon. Cost a bit more but worth it in my opinion.

PIAA silicone wiper blades.

Bosch ICON wipers. I rain-x a few times a year.

PIAA silicone wiper blades.

If these don't work out I may have to try PIAA's. Pricey but look nice.

PIAA silicone wiper blades.

Yup, had these on my previous vehicle. They lasted a good long while too which is awesome.

The only issue I would say is that there is a noticeable difference from where the wiper touches vs. where the wiper isn't 'wiping'. I just had to clean those areas more diligently while washing.

They're more costly but worth every penny since water would bead off so well, even during downpours it was very clear.

Once the OEM ones are done, I'm going for those PIAA silicone blades again.

Factory blades sucked...chattered from day one...replaced them with RainX and alls good...

I can clay both vehicles and do windshields on both all year using one brick out of a mcguiores clay bar kit. 2 years for under $20. You only need a little piece of clay to do a car. Less for a windshield.

I found the the factory blades sucked right away and replaced them with the RainX blades. They were a little better than factory but I always had a wide streak right in my view. Finally Bosch has the Icon blades for the Ranger that I originally wanted when I replaced the factory blades. Bye-bye RainX blades and hello Bosch Icon, so much better now. They are pricey but worth it.

What’s the part number for the Bosch blades? Does anyone have it on hand?

 

[ParkerAzJeff]

wiper blades........ what are those? Had my Ranger 7 months & never had the opportunity to use them. Needless to say we don't get ANY rain here.

You need to use them once in a while so they don't melt themselves to the windshield. ?
