Heck, why not?I'd give em a try!

We all know that oiled wipers are the best!Amsoil wiper blades, hmmm... who'd of thought?
Trico has an ExactFit blade that fits on the Explorer (at least on my 17). Now since I only do them once a year, I have to spend about 30 minutes singing a four letter aria until I figure out how to remove the little bugger... 😂I buy them for all vehicles at the same time too. It's too tough for me to remember which one got new blades and which one didn't. I do the same for cabin filters. These are two items that I think time has as much effect on as actual use. I haven't had to buy these for my Exploder just yet but I will say that for my other Ford SUV's the local stores never seemed to have the rear window wiper in stock. Makes me think ahead and I typically order online.
Those are "beam blades". All the good ones are that way. Neoforms, Icons, etc. And yes, they are the best.So far so good I do like the 'flex' bow on them more than the metal frame ones with the pivoting arms to hold the actual blade... I think they were just over $25 for the PAIR after tax and all..
Rain-X is actually mediocre at best. The problem is that it builds up over time and can make the glass look "foggy", which is then a pain to remove. Look into Aquapel. It's a little fussier to apply, but works way better and lasts longer. And whatever you do, avoid Rain-X Anti-Fog. That stuff is junk.Rain-x > any wiper
Same here, Michelin I believe. They only last about a year but for six or nine dollars or whatever they are works for me.We buy our blades at Costco, $9 each if I recall.
Do you notice any difference with the B side wiper?I've had really good experience with Bosch Icons. Yeah and I'm a sucker, I buy the A&B's.
I wish I knew what the heck y'all mean by A's and B's.I've had really good experience with Bosch Icons. Yeah and I'm a sucker, I buy the A&B's.
Some companies, like Bosch, make a B side blade to better fit the curvature of the passenger side of the windshield. A= Driver side. B= Pax side.I wish I knew what the heck y'all mean by A's and B's.
I'm gonna look for the Bosch Icon A's & B's.Some companies, like Bosch, make a B side blade to better fit the curvature of the passenger side of the windshield. A= Driver side. B= Pax side.
I haven’t found a definitive answer as to the benefits of the B blade.
Yes I do think I notice a difference but it might just be my head telling me I do. I change these frequently so I don't really know if they're better long term.Do you notice any difference with the B side wiper?
It has a little different curvature on the B blade.I wish I knew what the heck y'all mean by A's and B's.
As long as we agree that the Fram version makes your vehicle explode.Wipers are the new oil thread. Welcome to 2022 everyone. If this is what we're bickering about, I'd say these are some solid trucks.
I've never found them. Where do you get them ?I can't say Icon A/B's are better than the next brand but I use them and they work well. I don't leave any blade on until it's worn out so longevity isn't an issue for me.
I buy most of my name-brand parts from Amazon, I have also bought them at AutoZone. Both A and B.I've never found them. Where do you get them ?
