Windshield Wipers?

Go to Ford and get the Motorcraft wiper blades for our trucks. They are cheap and work the best I've found. Better than any crap auto parts store blades.

I had rain-x latitude on my 04 and the passenger side broke off on me in a snow storm. the blade broke off of the part that attaches to the wiper arm. so after that I have a grudge against the rain-x one piece ones :cursing:

I've had the best luck with anco contour blades as far as cleaning and not streaking

i also concur that the bosch blades are over rated, they suck

lol I usually run the anco $3 blades and just replace them every few months. I've been running the michelin stealths on my mustang and they work pretty well. I did have an issue of the regular michelins staying clipped to my truck. I had two blow off because they wouldn't stay clipped in. Not sure if it was a coincidence or what, but I think I'll be doing anco contours or rain x's my next set.

I had the same issue with the michelins on my truck. I went back to rain x ones after that.

I actually Like the Bosch Icons, on my second set. I did get some streaking after a couple of months so I cleaned the glass with steel wool and haven’t had a problem sense. I can"t stand crappy wipers and a dirty windshield so I usually get new wipers every 6 months or so but the Bosch lasted over a year. I also have the Duralast monobeams and RainX on the wifes Marquis and they seem to be pretty good. I'd sugest going with whatever monobeam is on sale.

I had to search them to see if they were still in business. LOL

On a serious note, I've had great luck with the Bosch Icons. I tried the Rain-X wipers and didn't like them nearly as much. They started streaking faster than any other wiper I've used, including OEM.

I believe Valeo makes the motorcraft blades for Ford. Valeo rate pretty high

Any conversation I have ever had with anyone that lived in FL including my sister, had no idea what they were talking about... LOL
