Any recommendations for wipers

elbandito · 10-29-2020, 05:33 PM

These wipers are god awful. For how expensive they are, I’d think they’d last at least 6 months...they streak almost immediately. Any recommendations for non-bmw wipers? Heard Bosch but unsure of which ones will actually fit.

Appreciate the help!

Bosch Envision for all three seasons. Bosch SnowDriver for winter.
I apply Aquapel on all the glazing including the sunroof.

+1 on the Bosch - great replacements. EN26OE (driver), EN20OE (passenger), A351H (rear).

Have you tried putting rainx/similar wax on the windshield? Rained all day today - various intensity...now issues on my 4 week old 45e which has a coat of turtlewax ceramic on it.

I have used Rainx for decades. What may work better these days is Aquapel. I have some of that, but haven't tried it on this vehicle yet. You don't want anything else on the glass, so you may need to buff to get anything on there now, off first.
