Hi i want to know which window wiper blades to get for my car. Right now im using Sumo Soft wiper non silicon ones. The problem is i used it about 6 months now its really terrible. I wonder which wiper blades to get that can last long after under the hot sun about 5 days a week.

I bought mine from MR.DIY, some chapalang brand for 10 bucks a piece (Waja). Park under the sun every day, never lift it up before, sometimes got thin twigs caught between the wiper and the windscreen. Almost one year on and still good. Compare to my family's Vios Bosch wiper, park indoors everyday, less than a year already harden. shakehead.gif

My philosophy is: If you're gonna park under the sun, buy two pairs cheapo ones, if you're lucky they'll last very long. Else, you got a spare pair in your trunk. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

i use PIAA silicone wiper, cost around RM200 since i have to change the handle together because the stock wiper handle cannot fit the wiper blade

been using for 4 years, going to 5 years and now it still doesn't make a single sound, wipe windscreen as clean as it is like new one, the heavier the rain, the better it wipe brows.gif

if not wrong...the reason PIAA wipers is so good is becuz the wiper is not 100% silicon
it's half silicon and half rubber
so it's enough rubber, it doesn't scratch your screen and enough silicon, it doesn't harden
thats why its expensive as well cuz its good

Never buy those cheap silicon wiper blades especially those from pasar malam. Few of my friend including me suffering the consequences - scratches on windscreen. Lucky I pay premium for the windscreen.

actually any "silicon" wiper would do that
cuz silicon is hard...good side is it won't harden like rubber

Agree fully with above re Bosch wipers! Also it kinda "reacts" with RainX & produces irritating noises very fast even when a few weeks old!!

Surprisingly I've put back my Ori wipers & they are still performing great (like new) after almost 7 mths!!
