The michelin book at costco said the TJ needed 13" wipers. Too bad they're not on sale anymore...I will stock up next time.Highly recommend these for the money
While I normally like his videos, this one does not consider a flat windshield.
Well, I bought Bosch. Not necessarily because that was my first choice, but because, out of the four auto parts stores in our town, that was the only thing I could find in 13". And it was snowing like crazy and someone had put 17" blades on the Jeep. So, of course, they were all torn at the ends where they rubbed on the moulding around the windshield.
Are Silblades silicon?I've been trying Silblades and I've been less than impressed so far. Even after washing the window I'm getting streaks the next time it rains. We get a lot of rain here so this might not be as big of a problem for guys in other places.
I tried a large range of wipers over the years and the one thing that I've noticed is consistent is that traditional style wipers work better on the flat windshield than the armless style.

I have Bosch and they are good. Second year and no problems.
Just checked. They are Bosch ICON’s I am running. They were on about 1.5 years per my receipt, a little longer than I thought, and they went through a Winter last year. They need replaced again, but I can’t really give them bad marks. They worked very well all that time and just started getting a bit choppy this Fall.The only wiper blades that ever kind of impressed me was PIAA silicone. So smooth and quiet on a sports car I used them on. That said, I typically just buy cheap new ones every year and call it a day.
I need to check what I have now because they sure didn't hold up very well over a years time. I'll report back.
Hey, you got a link for those wipers? I’ve got a 2005 Jeep TJ this summer and I’d like to get better blades for it.
- Patented PTFE coating gives our silicone wiper its ability to effortlessly glide smoothly across your windshield
- Silicon formulation leaves an invisible hydrophobic (water repellent) coating, which forms within 90 days from the first use
