Recommendations for 2011 JSW wiper blades?

Time to replace the blades. Not really interested in hassling with the rubber insert replacements-just want to get a couple of replacements without paying dealer prices. Most recent the search function came up with was Walmart has some Michelin ones for $12.99 each. Anyone replaced theirs lately? Thanks.

This is what I have.

I never use the rear, except when I forget and VW asserts it should be on when backing up since it is likely raining behind the car as well as in front.

Thanks Mike, good suggestion. Here in Austin it may or may not be raining in back of the car, ha.

I went ahead and ordered these. From the reviews, they fit perfectly, simple to put on, look and perform like OEM and may be since Bosch makes their OEM, and they are $14 less than the dealer cost. I might could save a few bucks with a different brand but, all things considered, this seemed the way to go.

Be sure to check close when the package gets to you.

I ordered other blades for my son's car and one came dirty, obviously used. someone returned the old blade and whoever processed the return did not look close enough to see, and shipped to me.

they made it right, shipped actual new ones via expedited method, but the lesson is to not wait till the last minute if you order auto parts from amazon.

whatever my 13 came with from the factory, I am the most impressed with, go OEM

I have to agree, aftermarket does not last near as long as oem.

Well, according to several reviewers, these Bosch are identical to OEM and might be. But as long as they do the job, I'm happy. This is not that big an expense that we can't take a chance, expecially when the OEM are over priced.

I ordered my second set of the bosch back in June, but the set I put on last fall still are doing a great job.

Wow, I put these these Bosch on in less than 30 seconds, thanks meerschm, great recommendation.

Im using the Silblades. They've been on for about 3yrs so far and still working like new. The mounts are kinds sucky and one came loose initially. One of these days I might pull the rubber and put it in the stock blades. This is what I did on my wifes mini which is also running silblades for about 2.5yrs.

You are welcome.

After quite a bit of searching ( initially only the Boschs came up), my local Carquest found me an exact fit for $13 or so (passenger side). The original one (Bosch?) ripped after less than two years, so I'm not too impressed with those.
They also gave me a refund on some motor oil that I bought ages ago, even though I didn't have the receipt. So here's a plug for Carquest.
