You can save money by just replacing the wiper blade refills. Takes ten minutes. Use cl5 for a 10% discount.

I will let you know after I get them; I just bought them. Seem legit and I could not find any silicone wipers in the correct size. I have the PIAA 95065 Super Silicone for my Honda Ody and love them.

I am one of the ones that have been unimpressed with the OEM wipers, but hopefully a fresh set will help, mine are 2 years old after all so well overdue.

Had the wipers for a little while now and I'd say they are fine. Nothing special, but they work. The rubber is pretty flexible, not stiff and hard. Were fairly easy to install, just look closely and don't force anything.

I'm at 8 months on my 2019 NX and the blades need replacing. Interesting post.
I'm going to try Bosch.

The Michelin blade selling at Costco is not bad. I had it for a year now on my 2016 NX although I think it's a bit bulky.

I wasn't happy with the factory blades on my 2019, it surprises me there are not more options wiper blade wise. I ended up putting the Bosch Envision wipers on front and I hate them, they developed really bad skip patterns unless you go wipe down the blades every week. Even the factory blades were better than how these perform. Last week we got some snow and I had to drive home with my defrost on full blast and it was only 25 degrees out but the wipers kept freezing up on my drive home, definitely switching to another brand even if it means going back to the factory ones.

Rock Auto recommended Trico blades to me as factory replacement. They fit and work fine. Seem nearly identical to the OEM on my 2021 and they were very inexpensive. $22 for all three replacement blades including shipping. I didn’t install the rear blade yet. These are complete blades, not replacement inserts.

I used to use higher end expensive Bosch on my prior vehicles - Euro wagons and SUVs. Seemed like the thing to do-fancy Euro blades on Euro cars. They never lasted more than a few months before they started skipping and squeaking. So I’d replace with the same stupid Bosch blades. Not sure what I was thinking. I’d spend like $60-70 bucks for blades on my XC90 or my Allroad 2-3 times a year. Total waste. My old Saab ate blades for lunch when it wasn’t burning through turbos. So happy to be done with those cars!

I don't know what you folks have paid for them, but I just ordered Trico Exacfit thru Amazon (for my 2020) and here's what they cost:

Driver 26-17B $14.10
Passenger 16-17B $11.30
Rear 12-A $10.90

I ordered the same blades from Rock Auto. It was about $22 for all three. I did misstate price in my earlier post because I did have to pay shipping - about $6. So total was a little less but not much difference - assuming you got free shipping from Amazon. I will say that Rock Auto ships slowly.

I'll also say I went into a local auto parts shop yesterday to get blades for my wife's car (Audi A4; hadn't driven the car in a while and it was in desperate need of new wipers on a snowy day). I was floored by the lack of inventory. I know we're living in weird times, but they had nothing in the sizes I needed - no brand. I went to a dealer & paid dealer prices. Ugh.

I browsed the posts in this thread and wondering if there's any new feedback regarding an appreciation for a specific brand of wiper blade which will last and work well during the South Florida rainy season?
Not a fan of the OEM blades.
