Windshield wiper blades (suckage)

[BULL]

Rhetorical question

Why do all aftermarket wiper blades suck?

It doesn't seem to matter what you buy, or how much you spend, they all suck, and are ridiculously expensive for what you get.

Compare them to the O.E. blades, and its even worse.

It is just me? Anybody actually have and good experiences with any aftermarket blades?

I stick with RainX Endura wiper blades, replace every 6-8 months

Doesn't 6 months feel like planned obsolescence when O.E. blades tend to last several years?

Depends on where you're at, I guess, we get a lot of rain and snow and dirt and salt, so they streak easily (even the oem ones) I don't like streaks
No different than brakes, oil changes and other standard maintenance

My OEM wiper blades are still brand new after 5-1/2 years. I think. I’ve never actually seen them.

I have had the same experience with my wiper blades. I don't use them on my nice cars (since I don't drive them in the rain), but even the most expensive blades last maybe two years on my Jeep.

The worse your winter climate...the shorter your blade life...

Hellcats only come with wipers from the factory because of some federal law. If you need wipers when driving such a car, then you are doing it wrong. Kittys should never be out in the rain.
