I just replaced all 3 wiper blades for $40
Bosch Microedge 2x18" in the front, and 1x13" in the rear.

Rain-X. Hardly ever use my wipers.

We chew through wipers up here. I have settled on Bosch Icon wipers. They aren't the cheapest, but they have been the best performing and best lasting so far.

Same here. Which turns out to be Anco Winter blades. Fronts cost about $4 and the rear about $5 through the store.
Always wondered why a 13" blade costs more then an 18" blade.

wait for stores that want to get rid of 17" wipers(not common size) and buy all of them. XJ's take 18" regular but 17's work also

Bosch beam type. I replace wipers on a once a year schedule and order them from Rock Auto becase theyre about 8 bucks a piece on there. Even with shipping that blows the local stores out of the water.

Little curious as which Bosch ones you buy. So many variations on the Bosch ones.
I replace the Ancos once a year myself. But that is pushing it. If I really cared would do it every 6 months.

I'd have to pull my order history to be sure but I'm pretty sure they were "revolution" blades. My Jeep is garaged when at home so that helps extend the life of rubber and plastic bits a good bit especially here in Texas. Keeping things out of the UV radiation does wonders for longevity.

That got me there. Evolution. 4818.

X3 on the Anco Winters. They have been my go to for years. They are like 4-5 bucks per blade and last me usually a year and could probably last longer, but I usually replace them every year in the late fall.

I have been using them since the early '80's. I remember skiing one time and saw these strange looking blades on a car in the parking lot.
Owner was loading up like me at the end of the day and I asked what's up with the funny looking wipers. Anco Winter Blades he said.
Been using them ever since.
They are not as good as they used to be. But then again what is?

Im tempted to try out a set of silicone wipers. They're supposed to last for years.

IJM

Yup, same here.

I've still got the set of Rain-X wipers on mine that it had when I bought it 1.5 years ago. They've always worked great.

I'll probably go with the Bosch Icons when it's time to replace them.
