After a lot of trial and failure of wipers in New England weather, I have settled on PIAA 95050 super-silicone as my preferred replacement wiper. They lack a curved blade and spoiler of OEM blades, but are otherwise superior. They also fit better than single beam wipers.
Originally, I tried Bosch Evolution single-beam wipers that worked great but I didn't like the passenger side blade not completely fitting the curved windshield.
I also used the OEM wipers (directly from Bosch) for a while but got tired of the curved passenger blade deforming and wearing out too quickly. Maybe it was the curve, or maybe I was buying old stock of that part?
Recently, I decided to roll the dice on PIAA super silicone wipers and I have had excellent results so far through the winter season. They're about $20-$25 on amazon which is typical for premium blades, and they have excellent reviews. They also come with silicone wipes (rain-x) and have refill blades available. I think they are the best option. Performance and fit is perfect.
Most importantly, the passenger side blade fits the windshield perfectly. Contrary to what the latest marketing fads led me to believe, traditional wire frame wiper blades are not inherently flawed and actually fit our curved windshields better than trendy single-beam wipers.
