On my old VW's, I've always used Bosch Aerotwins, that I got from Amazon.

But... these days, using PIAA Aero Vogue hybrid silicone blades. Used Bosch Evolution beam blades before, but they chattered excessively since day 1, and after 6 months I got rid of them.

 

I used to swear by Bosch Icon wipers (on Amazon). Have used them probably since they came out. Having said that the last set I got were horrible quality. I am hoping I just got a bad batch but I will be following this thread to see what others say.

 

Have you noticed that you can't stand the wiper arm up on these GH? I always did that when washing the windshield, but the hood doesn't let you do that with this model. Going to make changing the wiper a bit of a challenge.

 

The owner's manual says there is a service mode for the front wipers.

 

This is weird- Toyota OEM wiper blades are by far the best blades that I've ever come across from a carmaker. They generally work really well and last a pretty decent amount of time. Most aftermarket ones work well for a few months and then are awful- no matter the brand or price.

Maybe your GHL just got a bad batch. You might want to order a new set of inserts from Toyota- they are pretty cheap- usually about $10-$12 per insert.

DO NOT let a dealership sell you a set of Toyota "SightLine" blades. A lot of dealers pretend that these are OEM blades- and although they are sold through Toyota dealers- they are not the same quality as the ones that come on your car from the factory. The "SightLine" wipers are pretty awful.

Try getting a set of replacement OEM inserts... and see if that makes a difference. Maybe you just got a bad set from the factory.

I actually have to take a our new GH in to have Toyota address the rusting factory trail hitch as well as a gap in the front dash where you see a metal piece underneath the dash. When I do that, I'll go over to parts get a new set of OEM wiper inserts. For that price, it's worth one more shot at OEM. Will be cheaper than putting Bosch's on.

 

I have used Bosch Icons on previous vehicles with great success.

Unless the GH wipers are different (which I assume are the same supplier so I doubt it) than the stock ones on the Corolla are trash and lasted than a year before separating and being about worthless.

 

Clean the blades and the glass, then apply Rain-X. You will get a clean and quiet wipe after that.
