so what is better, to get the factory blades, or aftermarket, what will be better in the rain?

 

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.

 

How much does the dealer charge?

 

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

 

its easy to change the blades on your own just make sure u dont let the arm slam against the windsheild.

 

Where would I get a pair of Bosch?

 

I had a bad experiance with bosch?. I had them on my Honda and the OEM were better and last longer. My friend had them on his truck and hates them two.

 

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

 

Another satisfied Bosch user here

 

Like 12-15 for a pair

 

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...
