    Long story short, my wipers got in a fight and now I need to order a new 26". I had some Bosch ICON wiper blades and they seemed pretty sweet. (RIP) I had some Rain-X Latitude and they were horrible. Reviews on amazon are hit or miss.

    Have any wiper blades that work well and you like?

    Thanks,

    Toyota sells Sightline and they are good. Their OEM wiper blades are a little more dear, but last for at least three years. I just replaced wipers on my '17 Prime and my wife's '17 Prius. I got the Sightline for hers and the OEM for the Prime. The originals lasted four years, we'll see how these compare. In 45 years of driving, I've never had aftermarket wiper blades last more than a year.

    For my PiP and our Gen 2s, I got the blade inserts from Toyota for about $9 each. They last almost forever.

    Lately I get the Bosch beams from Rock, they work fine and they're under $5 each.

    I replaced my original from-the-factory wiper inserts, with same, roughly at the 10 year mark. They looked fine; just figured it was time.

    Only around 88k on it though.
