What wiper blades

[JnK]

As the title says....what wiper blades are people using?
On our 2015 I've had a great run, only needing to change the blades once so far in all the years.
As you know, the original blade infills aren't simply slide in replacement, and OEM replacement is the complete unit at a ridiculous price.
Years ago I got OEM blades from Rockauto (even though they are LH drive shape and don't suit RH drive), and removed and swapped the infills. So it is possible to use an infill.
I'm now looking to change infills again, as I would prefer to keep the existing aero arms.
Bit exxy simply to source a couple of blades only from Rockauto again, I don't have a shopping list at the moment.
My preference is for good quality replacement infills - the existing infill back measures 9mm...8.5 infills are available, but likely sloppy in the frame, compared to 9mm.
Any suggestions or experiences?
Thanks
John

There should be 9mm refills available I believe.

I put Trico single-bladed refills on last year and can't say I'm too happy with them - quite squeaky and a little bit streaky. I previously had a Tridon refill and they were reasonable.

The Bosch ones, while sold at a premium, are quite well regarded and often used by OEMs. I'm considering the aero blade variant for my next change.

Interested to hear others' experiences as well.

Edit: This seems a reasonable deal https://runautoparts.com.au/bosch-fr...r-bba550530280

I put the wipertech ones on my wife’s car, they are the whole assembly around $50. One year on and they are still fantastic. I was sick of refills that didn’t last or squeaked

Something that will soon need doing on mine but I haven't got round tuit ........ on the list................ need to replace the washer tube again, no engine cover the heat from turbo cooked the last piece I used, have to get better hose this time and build a shield.

I did the same...I had a stone chip repaired at Windscreen O'Brien a few months back...they asked whether I wanted new wiper blades...yep I said...I have tried ti find replacements without success.
Paid a premium but as I was heading on to the never never, best thing I did. Set me back $120,.00 fitted...Still great after plenty of use...

ive tried a few different types of wiper blades and found the Bosch aero replacements are the best.
Not cheap and it is a complete blade replacement but they are the only ones that work perfectly at high speed without shuddering etc and leave the windscreen completely clean.
When i was up at a jeep dealer picking parts saw Jeep were using them as replacements.
Only draw back,when they are done you have to chuck them out and buy new ones but my last pair worked great for about 2 years!!

2 Years is a bit ordinary for that sort of money...........
