BOSCH, i took stock ones off the first winter i had my car which was like two months after i bought my G, BOSCH are on the exspensive side, but they will last 10 times longer and clean 10 times better also, top it off with some rainX and the faster you go the better you can see LoL keep it safe

+1 for Bosch Microedge. Compared to PIAA or any glitzy silicone blade they are inexpensive. Don't waste your money on designer blades. Believe me, I have a lot of rain experience here in Oregon. The Bosch work great.

has anyone tried the Valeo flat wiper blade? it is supposed to be the best wiper out there, but is expensive and does not look all that great. http://www.valeo.com/automotive-supplier/Jahia/pid/19

I use Michelin, they usually have em' at Walmart and cost about $15 for both, one is a 17in. the other is 24in. I believe.

They work well, and look good.

I've not changed the blades on my G yet, but I put Bosch blades on my previous car and they were fantastic.

+1 for Bosch too. I still have OEM on the G but have used them many times on several previous rides.

I used to get Bosch also, but NAPA closed, and nobody else carries them. OEM are just as good in my opinion.

Bosch or PIAAs. Inserts are pretty cheap anywhere you get them...
