I buy the econ ones that they have for car shops and dealers, they do not

. None of the wipers seem to last over a year anymore  later  mark  dearing

I do  fine with Bosch wiper blades,
19 inch on the driver's side, 18 on the  passenger's..
around 12 bucks each maybe.

plus Rain-Xon all the  glass and exterior mirrors.

you might want to consider those insulated  covered blades for freezing

I have never tried any though  myself.
