I'm still using the stock original wipers and it's time to change them. I know when the car's first came out there were not many good replacements. Has anyone found something that works well?

I like the Trico NeoForms. They're OEM on a lot of vehicles and they've proven themselves for me. Trico invented the wiper blade too. (not that that matters)

The revised OEM blades work well also.

Ok in need of blades too ..still have my originals on but car only has just under 24k.
Which ones (pt#) etc on the new OEM or the Trico.
I had Trico on other cars and liked them but the OEMs held up good ..Dealer is smoking crack for what they want for them. 63.00

I'm using some Rain-X blades off of I think Rock Auto and/or Amazon. They were cheap, arrived fast, and work perfectly.

I just bought some Trico Force wiper blades for my GXP. They work awesome. They were about $40 for the pair off of amazon.

I replaced mine last week with Trico Tech Beam Blades. They seem to work pretty well. 26" & 15"

Last month I bought the OEM's from the local Chevrolet dealer, $22. Work great with plenty of rain testing.

I go a set of the TRICO Onyx blades. They ended up being free with a coupon code I had from Advance Auto after the purchase of so other parts so I thought they were worth a shot. I'll post how they work if I ever get stuck in the rain.

Bringing back an older thread.. I bought the Trico Force blades. I wish I went with OEM. OEM were not exciting they just worked and looked nice. The Trico Force for me are bigger than OEM where they attach to the arm and they skip when in use.
As I went 7 years on the last set I guess I only have to listen to that skipping for 7 more years! :D

I use Trico exclusively on all three of my vehicles and don't have skipping issues. Did you clean your windshield? I usually clay mine. I also buy the best Trico's and they fit and look great. Trico is actually OEM on many vehicles.
I also SWEAR by Adams Glass Sealant. It's like Rain-X but IMO it's better. My wipers ALWAYS skipped with Rain-x and I NEVER have that issue with Adams. ??? I drive in the rain on the interstate and don't use my wipers.

I think if you'll clay bar your windshield, you'll see a huge difference. I just put a set of Trico Force on mine and love them. No skip and clean great. I'll never buy a different kind again. I had a set of AC Delco on it and the sucked after 6 months.

My original OEM set has finally seen their day ..after 7+ years. Dealer gave me a set of OEM wipers and I swear they are different than what was originally installed.
I purchased the Tricos for my wifes car she never had a skipping issue. But like Chewy stated .. I clean our windshields and seal them with Adams glass sealer.
