I've been using the Bosch Icon blades but i am finding that they wear out rather quickly and end up streaking and not "squeeging" very well after about 3 months. I live in a snow area so that is also a consideration. Has any one tried the "Scrublades"? I think that they are available at Sears.

I did a 1 year test theory on my wife and I's cars. I have always had Bosch icons, usually last me about 2 years then start streaking on me and need replaced. this last year I tested it out, she ran rainx blades (spineless sorry cant think of the name "latitude" maybe? I ran the Bosch icon's. her blades needed replaced by about 9 months in, we drive my car a lot more then hers, the rainx blades did not survive the winter. mine needed to be replaced around month 18 or 19. the rainx blades are still far superior to other blades out there, but I have put my trust in both for awhile and usually do rainx on her car as she is harder on things and since they are cheaper, its better. I will always run Bosch, until they change the design.

i agree 100% on rainx. only problem is you cant find the latitude ones in our size. have to go with the standard wipers but they do a great job. but really if you get enough rainx treatment on there you wont even need wipers

Over Three years and still on the originals. I know I'm pushing it but haven't noticed any streaks or blade separation. Thinking I may get yet one more winter out of them. Where did I go wrong??
Then you only use your wipers like twice a year, so it doesn't matter what wipers you have!

Stock wipers went out after a year. ( I bought the Jeep with stock wipers)
1. Rain-X Latitude - crapped out after 5 months
2. Trico exactfit - died after 3 months
3. Bosch Icon - started streaking really bad after 5 months
4. Now using Trico NeoForm in 14" - they work ok but already started streaking about 2 months ago (2 months of use)
I blame the soft glass on the JK which is so pitted on mine that it actually looks cloudy in direct sun.
Next wiper I am going to use is a 14" winter blade (snow's coming anyways).
