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

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.

This. The OEM blades are crap. The driver side blade isn't chattering yet but it does a half assed job during a decent rain. That and I'd like to buy blades that don't have to be replaced every 8 months. I always used Bosch blades on my RX and I would be able to go 1 year to 1.5 years on a set of blades before they started wearing down and making noise.
I'm going to try Bosch.

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'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.

Not a fan of the OEM blades.
