20 Best Wiper Blades For Snow And Ice (2023 Updated)

Everything about the wiper blades was perfect with the exception of the price. WAY, WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! The blades do a fantastic job, the instructions made installation a easy and this is the second time I’ve purchased this brand and model.

Last time I used them for about 10 months before it became necessary to replace. I’m gonna use that information to attest to the quality. 4stars for quality, ease of installation and instruction. Minus 1 star for price! Thank you Mike.

These are hands down the worst wiper blades I’ve ever used. I bought them yesterday and the passenger side works just fine, no use to the driver. But the driver side blade, the big one the most important one only makes contact with the windshield on the way up and leaves it smeared and doesnt make contact with most of the windshield on the way down so i figure maybe it just needs some use.

So here we are the next day and it’s raining pretty good outside and I can’t see on the highway so I stop back at Walmart to swap for a new one thinking the one I got was defective. After all the passenger side is working just fine.

So I put the new one on and try it a couple times and it swiped good so I drive off and no sooner did I get on the road it started smearing and I cant see a thing. Stear clear of these wastes of time.

I bought them for my 2004 Honda Accord.

Was impossible to figure out how it is installed. The image instructions are not very good. Could not get it to install correctly on the one wiper is exchanged. I don’t think the connecting piece was manufactured to specs correctly.

The tab at the end of the socket where the arm goes is too small, looks like they clip on but if you shake the arm, it falls right off. I checked the instructions to make sure but found other reviews with the same issue.

Exchanged for RainX Latitudes and would never look back. Worth the small extra cost.

My car called for a 26″ blade and a 16″ blade. These blades measured 16″ and 26″ but the center points were different than the old blades resulting in the blades hitting each other when in the resting position.

Had to trade them for a different brand. In fact to make sure it didn’t happen again, I got a 15″ blade for the passenger side on my second purchase. I have loved these blades in the past and would have gotten a 15″ blade but the store did not stock a 15″ blade.

Replaced before a roadtrip…. now we have a winter storm visiting NC. Glad I replaced them with this brand.

I bought these for my 2002 Mercury Mountaineer based on the great reviews here. It was a mistake. Maybe it’s my vehicle’s windshield type, but, these things are HORRIBLE in the snow and ice! They streak terribly.

Snapping them doesn’t work or help. The ice build up heavy on them very quickly. I’m not trying to be mean to Trico, and I have no suggestion on another brand, but, these are probably THE WORST wipers I’ve had in 26 years of Buffalo driving.

And that includes those stupid “Double Blade” gimmicks in the 90’s. I had to buy wipers for my other vehicle as well, and noticed that it requires one 26″ and one 17″. Oddly, the reviews of Trico Ice on those sizes were much worse, about 2.

5 – 3 stars. Much more in line with the experience I had with these 22″ ones. I need to try a new brand. Though I only bought these in November 2015, I doubt I’ll get any compensation. If you have a 2002 – 2006 Mountaineer or Explorer, do NOT buy these.

My G6 has to have the flex beam style and by far theses are the best I’ve had! The rainX ones always lift off the windshield at higher speeds and these cling to my windshield. I was using the Michelin stealth, which are also very good but don’t have the same flexibility (The very end of each side of the blade would miss every now and then).

So far they have cleared the snow, ice and rain excellently! (About 2 months) Love them so much bought them for my wife’s Traverse and now getting some for my Silverado! The extra thick blade is always a plus and should last a bit longer i would assume.

my G6 is a 2006 so I’ve tried about every brand and type over the years and i can say with out a doubt, this brand got it right! (At least in my case!).

These replacement Wiper Blades for my Nissan Van were perfect and I was able to replace the worn out blades myself in less than two minutes. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and would buy them again.

Amazing winter blades i ever had for my vehicles. No streaks left behind what so ever. If you think Rain X is good you need to try these. 5 stars all the way.

I really like this product. It cleans the glass very well and is quiet. I bought a more expensive brand and I must say this brand is a lot better.

Dont buy the rain x wiper blades. They are junk, the worst I ever used. 2012 camaro with a perfect windshield. These wiper blades will not wipe the windshield clean, they skip streak and I constantly have to clean the windshield myself.

They dont cling to the windshield. I even used rain x which itself is a great product but I feel cheated on their overpriced rip off wiper blades. Do yourself and run from Rain X wiper blades. If you buy cheap $3.

00 blades they will always beat rain x blades. I’m glad we dont have snow I feel sorry for those people. Dont put your life at risk by using rain x wiper blades. they stole my money.

Have used this Rain-X on previous family cars. Was going to use on son’s ’18 Subaru Crosstrek. Found out their special wiper arms accept a totally different mount than one typically sees (I did not know) plus the washer sprayer is built into the side of the wiper arm, so non OEM blades could block that.

I gave small size blade to daughter for her Altima and the bigger size can be used in another year or so on the wife’s car. Live and learn. Past use was fine for Rain-X and this is a very good product.

Every so often, clean the wiper blade with alcohol on a towel to get build up off and smoother action on the glass.

These are a great item. They work as they should. However, I strongly suggest buying this item elsewhere due to my opinion of ECS tuning having the worst customer service that you will ever experience.

I purchased Bosch wipers before and they worked fine. These were on sale for less than half of the other model and I found out why. These are junk. The longer left side blade didn’t even make full contact with the windshield in the center.

The shorter right side worked for a couple months, but then started skipping and making a loud rubbing noise. Hopefully Bosch discontinued this model.

Second set of these for two cars. They really are great wipers. However, getting them to fit on your car requires changing the mount adapters. This can be a bit tricky. Pro tip: pull really damn hard on the pre-installed mount to get any of the other adapters on!.

Well worth the price. I got them on sale. Bogo 50% off. Easy install. It was my first time installing wiper blades. They went on a 2007 Impala. They hug the windshield leaving no streaks during the rain or snow fall.

They are quiet too;).

Easy to replace. Watching a YouTube video helped . They are cleaning my windshield well. Much cheaper to DIY than pay a mechanic to do this simple task!

I purchased the 18, 20, and 24 inch Michelin cyclone hybrid blades for my 2002 Mercury Sable wagon. The 20 and 24 inch blades for the windshield work nice and smooth. The 18 inch blade for the hatch in its down sweep doesn’t touch the glass on the top 3-4 inches and the bottom 4-5 inches.

Not enough flex in the blade to form to the glass. Would like a blade that would make contact in the full sweep. Thanks.

Great price and only slightly more expensive than the Halfords own brand. I chose this because of the reviews. Easy to fit: pull existing blade and wiper arm away from windscreen and observe the orientation before removing.

Orient the new blade to the same position and put to one side. Slide the retainer on the existing blade until it clicks and is ready to remove. Take a further mental note of the fixing position and slide out of the metal loop on the wiper arm.

Discard. Fit the new blade in reverse order from removal of the old blade and slide into the metal loop until it clicks into place. Ensure the rubber part of the blade makes contact with the windscreen.

Test for contact and operation. Easy.

My previous rear window wiper broke, which was a great sadness for all the family. I therefore set off on a great journey to find a replacement. Fortunately the Halford’s website was really easy to use, to locate what I needed.

I drove to Halfords to collect it, in my deathtrap car, with limited rear visibility. I bought it, like a suave professional. I fitted it, like confused amateur. It worked, like a window wiper. I can now see out of the rear window and the family is absolutely ecstatic.

The new style wiper blades are more expensive than the old style I’m used to. Are they really worth it? Well, my experience with the Bosch Evolution has been yes, they are! First, they were quite easy to install though the instruction sheet could use larger type and illustrations.

I needed to use my reading glasses. Then the test in the first rain. They swept clean and fit the windshield curve perfectly! I would get these again though it may be awhile, they claim a longer life too!.

Finally, my husband found wiper blades for my truck that are smooth and quiet! Installation was a little tricky, but he followed the instructions re: cleaning the windshield, etc. and the results are great.

Both the factory installed wipers and replacements we tried were terrible; made me want to run screaming from my vehicle after a long drive in the rain. These PIAA blades – can’t even hear them! Worth the money.

I have these installed on other vehicles. The only maintenance that I do, is wipe them clean with a clean lint free cloth with some WD-40. They lasted years on my other vehicles.

This is the second pair I have bought. the first one was about 6 months ago for my 97 For Expedition. I loved them so much I had to get a pair for our recently purchased 2003 Grand Marquis. In the past I have purchased some premium blades only to have them make a scraping noise as the blade shudders across the windshield.

These blades are quiet and smooth. They also reapply silicone to repel the rain. I use a water repel-ant windshield fluid and they work well together. Well worth the price.

I have been replacing my own wipers since the 80’s and I’ve never had as much trouble than I did after purchasing these. I’ve used the universal ones from other companies and never had a problem. These do not fit.

They are not universal. Specifically I was installing them on a Ford c-max and a ford fusion. Yes, I followed the directions which required removing the hook assembly default connector and replacing with the assembly for the pinch snaps that ford uses.

They still did not fit. The little plastic snaps will not go under the tabs on a modern Ford vehicle and will then snap off as you apply what to any other brand would be normal pressure. I am returning them, even the broken one, to get a name brand.

Don’t waste your money or your time these are absolute garbage. You can tell I just came in from the garage as I’m still angry at them 😉 This should not be this hard but these are cheap and defective.

I am using Trico wiper blades for 6 years now on both of my vehicles. They were always the best for me and I recommended this brand to my family and friends. Before this purchase I had Trico Maxx. This time I decided to buy Trico Flexx and was disappointed.

Trico Flexx was the 1st type of the Trico wiper blades that I bought the very first time 6 years ago. And I was impressed. But both of the blades didn’t clean up the water right in the center. I am keeping the old blades until I make sure that new ones work good.

I put the old ones back and they didn’t leave the water in the middle of the wiper. It means the problem was in the new blades and not in wiper arm. I took them back to store for return. But the guy on the check out told me that wiper blades is not something returnable.

C’mon man, the information on the website and in the app says I can do it in 90 days time frame window if they are defective. So, he needed to check it with his manager. Manager approved refund, but they told me that problem in wiper arm, but I know it’s not.

While installation seemed easy enough, turns out it all went wrong. Upon thinking I latched the blade to the arm, apparently this also unlocked the plastic adapter price which is now missing after 2 days of driving.

Is probably on the side of the road somewhere contributing to a world filled with plastic debris. Upon further inspection it seems it was only a matter of time until the second one did the same thing, hanging on for dear life.

There seems to be no logical way to to locked in the arm while keeping the adapter secure. If there is, it’s not clear and therefore the instructions need to be more thorough. I will now have to buy two new blades yet again.

Bought two wipers for Chevy Silverado. One installed fine. On the other, the plastic nub that is supposed to pop up and lock the blade into the arm would not. Rather than drive back to store to exchange, I put a drop of glue on it to create a bump.

That holds it. Blades themselves work OK in rain, but ice builds up when it snows. This causes the blade to streak. I recommend having AutoZone install the blades at the store. If a mounting is bad, they can replace the blade.

Simple metal framed wiper blades. Nice thick gauge metal for durability. Rubber refill part is clamped into place but could conceivably be refilled using a Trico refill of appropriate width and a simple pair of pliers for the bottom tip.

The rubber supplied is high quality, with graphite coating to lessen glass grab. If you take care of the material with a UV resistant fluid like Protectant 303, it could last for years. But the price is low enough that you could replace these every 6 months if you are lazy like most drivers.

Keep in mind this type blade only fits J-hook, Bayonet-simple and 3/116″ side-pin type installations.

These wipers are great! I had always used the least expensive windshield wipers on every car I’ve ever had. But after the recent horrible snow storm we had I decided to try a better wiper blade. I followed the recommendation of the salesman at the store and now I am a Bosch Winter wiper fan forever!.

I ordered this in February for a 2011 Outback for our 10 day trip through N Dakota, S Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas. With lots of snow and ice falling, temperature below -20 the wipers never chartered or clogged up.

They are only 6 months old now and even with this being a winter blade they are still holding up to a Texas summer great. Will buy again. About the same price as the other premium blades that don’t preform as well in the winter.

I love them!! They are strong and durable. They make no sound when in motion. They are streak free. So happy with my choice

I would not have purchased this particular wiper blade but the parts counter guy at my AutoZone recommended them. He recommended an excellent product. I will purchase these wiper blade anytime my other vehicles need blades replaced.

The Gentleman behind the counter. I gave him my information on wiper’s for my Jeep. He Got the proper ones came out explained why the ones on there were not correct. He put the ones he thought I should have.

I said your the professional. He installed them. Perfect. Great customer service. Hard to find today.

Installed on my 2000 VW Golf and usually the lower priced wipers do an okay job of wiping a wet window. This wiper blade seems to wipe the window clean and dry without a squeaky sounds.

I bought this thinking it was supposed to be a higher quality wiper blade. Exactly 30 days to the day after purchase and literally 2 rain events, the blade ripped in the center at the worst time, right in the middle of a thunderstorm while going down the freeway.

Stupid me didn’t have the original receipt, but I didn’t think twice to keep it since all other wiper blades I’ve purchased lasted me at least two years, even Wal-Mart’s cheap $5 wiper blades! Luckily the guy at the store took care of me and let me exchange to some Bosch blades and just charged me the difference, though he noted that the warranty on them had already expired, even though it was only 30 days.

Wow. How’s that for not guaranteeing your product? Even he noted that the Rain-X latitude wipers are junk and he won’t touch them. What a shame.

The windshield reference book for finding your size wiper blade was wrong. I have a Toyota Camry 2009. The driver side is twenty-four inches and the passenger side is twenty inches. When I turned on my wiper during the first rain storm, the blades kept hitting each other.

I went back to Oreilly’s to find out the problem and the passenger side blade was too long. I ending up buying a nineteen inch wiper blade. The clerk would not exchange the blade. I ended up buying the nineteen inch wiper blade.

So I ended up paying for three wiper blades. I provided the clerk with my receipt, but that was of no avail. It was my first use of the wiper blades. I would like to get a refund for the twenty inch wiper blade.

We purchased both front wipers and the rear wiper for our 2010 Prius. We anticipated free installation on all 3 blades. The store manager refused to install the rear blade as they said they are too difficult.

We came home. Watched a 2 minute YouTube video and installed it ourselves. No problem. At 78 years old and 73 years old, it would seem if we can do it, O’Reilly employees should be able to learn how.

I have always loved the Scrubblade wipers since they first came out. Especially the original ones that featured three rows of scrubbers, those were the best! But since then, I have loved these platinum wipers for for my car and Semi-Truck year round.

They still get the bugs and other debris off half decently after they break in. Anyway, I’ve loved these so much, I sent a few of them to my close friends In Japan! They were able to attach them to their vehicles without too much effort.

They say the Scrubblade wipers work great in the torrential Japanese rain! My friends In Japan were quite impressed with the dual Scrubblade wiper they don’t have anywhere in Japan! I’m getting ready to send more to Japan soon! Kakkoii!.

These are by far the best wipers I have ever purchased for any of my vehicles. Having dirty or even streaked windows is one of my biggest pet peeves; I just can’t stand it. These wipers do the job and then some! Even after driving through mud puddles, these wipe my windshield clean after just one stroke.

I will definitely continue to purchase Scrubblade wipers in the future for all my vehicles!.

These blades are constructed differently than wipers I’ve used before, I thought I’d give them a try. I thoroughly cleaned the road film off the window with a light buffing of baking soda so the blades would get a clean surface to squeegee.

The blades are streaking & loud, I think they’re not much better than the old ones I replaced. I’ll try them for a while, but if it doesn’t improve they’re coming off. I’ll get a good pair of more conventional single edge blades.

Very good not expensive product he do what he must secend car and i choose this one again

Brilliant

Installed wipers with severe high speed duct tape, and I have say, my car gets noticed, a lot. The amount of jealousy I get about my wipers is sometimes overwhelming. I also painted my oil pan red, which combined with my taped on wipers, gives me at least 35-40 more horsepower.

Nobody expects that, but when I show them my taillights, they become a believer!.
