While there are many brands out there most including the less expensive ones will do a good job. Environment has a lot to do with performance. You can try taking a small amount of alcohol and wipe the blades edge. Many times it’s just a matter of cleaning them. Many of today’s blades are quite long and do lose their tension against the windshield over time.

Our Florida heat is really tough on blades and replacing them as a maintenance item every 12-18 months is better than finding out in a blinding rain storm that they no longer are working.

Many of the new blades can be complicated to install. If you go to a real Auto Parts store instead of a box or online store, most of the time they are happy to install them for you at no charge.
