Default Windshield wiper suggestions?

It's not a stupid topic because I can hardly see when it's raining with the wipers I have now. Is something like the PIAA wipers worth the money? Any other suggestions would be good.

I just replaced the rubber peices with OEM yesterday.

It was $10 for a pair.

I second that, I have the Bosch Micro Edge wiper refills in the OEM Honda wiper frames... hands down THE best wiper available. My whole family uses them on all our cars.

Any wiper + RainX = awesome
add winter wiper fluid if you get snow/frost in your area..

RAIN X is the shiznit. Drive fast enough and you don't even need the wipers. SERIOUSLY.

RainX and new wipers will eliminate that vibration like the dude ^ said.

if the wiper blades are new, then chatter is most likely a result of bent wiper arms. The arms are trying to push the blade across the glass at the wrong angle, instead of letting the blade drag across the glass like it should. try twisting the arms to change the direction the blade sits on the glass.

oem oem oem why waste the money at the dealership, they take enough from you when take it in for an oil change. just buy soe bosch wipers. their 12 dollar wiper really works well. throw rainX on there and they work like a champ for over 6 months depending on how much sun you get where you live

I've always used Bosch Micro Edge Excel in all our cars... they work well IMO... Bosch

I've tried the Trico crap they sell at Kragen because they didn't have the right size for the Bosch

do a single wiper conversion and put on one of those double blades ( the chrome ones?) damn... j/k no i kind of like those PIAA blades, but its just a fu*kin wiper. i just took mine off and rain-xed it with that rain-x wax. it works really well. if you do keep your wipers, id go with the best that autozone has. some good bosches.

I thought I was the only one that did this.....going about 70+ eliminates the need for wipers...If you have a fresh coat of Rain-X, its around 55-60+ renders wipers useless.
