Windshield wiper blades (suckage)

[MikeD1]

I've tried a bunch of different aftermarket brands & they all suck.

For the Hellcat I stick to the original, old school Bosch metal frames & just get the raw blade inserts.
Takes a few min. to thread them in, but worth the effort IMO.

My cats...vipers...prowler...or benz all have originals

I'm giving Scrubblades Black Edition a try.

Dual blade, silicon, ceramic coated

~$25/blade when ordered online

They seem to have very good reviews, by allegedly independent people, and by supposedly a "small" independent company.

Hellcats only come with wipers from the factory because of some federal law. If you need wipers when driving such a car, then you are doing it wrong. Kittys should never be out in the rain.

I didn't buy my car to let it sit in the garage so it will see rain, not snow. If there is only one day in the week calling for rain I may not drive it to keep it clean.

I bought some Bosch ICON after doing some research of what were good for the Jeep in 2024. Liked them so much replaced the Hellcat and Challenger with them also in 2024. So far still work like day 1 with the Jeep and Challenger seeing snow also. Would buy again

They were on my short list but don't utilize silicon rubber, so I went looking for others. (They do use a "hybrid" rubber??)

yeah maybe? I just searched what people were happy with and saw these a lot so bought them

Actually they were bought for the Challenger in February of 2024 1st then went on Jeep in June after windshield was replaced followed by Hellcat

Still need to get the rear one for Jeep maybe next winter being it won't be driven a lot in the summer

I put fresh ICONS on the Jeeps every late fall.

Some guys like you drive and truly enjoy your car. I'm of the verity that seems to just collect garage ornaments to make me giggle when I look at them in the safety bubble of my garage. My friends joke that I will not take any of my cars out if there is even a chance of rain over northern Afghanistan. OCD is a blessing and a curse.

I took mine (super stock) to Road Kill Nights in Pontiac Michigan in 2023 and it was a torrential down pour all the way home!!😡
Was literally like driving a boat the entire way home with water covered roads and drag radials on all four corners!!
Pulled over and waited the worst of it out at a large gas station under the canopy for about an hour because it was definitely NOT safe!

I don't remember the details but I was able to order the exact replacement blade insert but matching up the insert. I don't replace the whole wiper blade assembly like they want to sell you. Aftermarket blade assemblies in general suck.
