Bosch Icons, that's all I ever use on either of my cars

From an appearance stand point I do not like the low profile wipers (like the Icon's) on our Gen 4. I use Bosch Excel+ and I up size my wipers to 24" & 22", they do fit and clean more of the windshield.
Except when they get clogged with snow and ice and stop conforming to the windshield. Not a problem where you live.
I'm using Rain-x latitude(?) right now. They are terrible or maybe just worn out, but I kind of want to keep them on for part of the winter to fully use them up, since winter is so hard on wiper blades.
I have a set of Goodyear hybrid blades (metal frame covered with rubber to keep out snow and ice) that I got on sale that I'll put in eventually.

Costco 4 buck Goodyear blades. My windshield is so pitted its not worth getting anything nice. They'll be toast in three months anyways.

currently i don't need windshield wipers...
we have been in a drought for over a month. Last time it rained was in August.
But when I do use them, i typically go with the bosch.
Get on Advanced auto.com and pre buy them with a 10% coupon and combine it with any other rewards they offer. Typically can get them almost 20% off or more, then go pick them up at the store.

Goodyear from Costco
I bought some Goodyear ones at Costco less than a year ago and they already leave smudges - not what I would have expected. They are less than a year old, have only been used a few time - 4R is always garaged too. Kind weird as I usually get 5-6 years out of a pair of wipers (I don't drive much).

+1 for Bosch Icons, used them in Alaska winters and Oregon rain.. no complaints.
I've tried Costco Goodyears one time and threw them away in less than a month.

I'm not saying the Costco ones are good, but they are not bad and they are dirt cheap.
The best blades I've ever had were these:
TRICO NeoForm®: Teflon Beam Wiper Blades | TRICO® Windshield Wipers
They lasted for ever on my old vehicles. They held up to snow, rain and mud really well.
Usually they can be found on sale for 15ish bucks.

i just go to walmart and get the rain x latitude, if they dont have those i go with bosch icon, same stuff, also i do a really good cleaning and apply rain x on the windshield before the rain starts.
I am up there with the rest of you with the Bosch Icon blades. Been using them for years on all of my trucks. Always seem to do a good job. Even better with the Rain-X treatment. And no worries about ice buildup in the winter. Sometimes they freeze but nothing a quick tapping can't fix. The ice pretty much just falls off...
