Windshield Wiper Recomendation

[foxtemple]

I just replaced my Michelin blades I got from Costco with Motorcraft ones from my dealership. I have to say that the motorcraft ones seem to fit the contours of the ex's windshield much better then the michelin ones. The micheline ones caused streaking at don't look as good when installed. There's also a coupon for wiper blades on Ford's website I think.

The BOSCH OE ones look good also but I personally haven't installed them since Dealer gave me replacements for warranty. Wiper started cracking in less than a month from date of purchase and pick up.

The OEM Ford wiper blades are the best I've ever used.

Bosch Icon's are what I use on all of my vehicles. Love them. Rain-X every few months and these wipers are a great combo.

I've had good luck with RainX blades on previous vehicles.

I really like the Goodyear Assurance wiper blades. I run those on my Ex and my F150. Available at Costco for cheap, or through Amazon. Made in America too.

Hey foxtemple,

The coupon you're referring to is at the bottom of this page: http://owner.ford.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Owner/Page/ServiceCouponsPage. If anyone is interested, it's a pretty great deal!

In my 2011 manual it says "do not use any special fluid such as windshield water repellent type fluid or bug wash. They may cause squeaking, chatter noise, streaking and smearing."
Personally I don't think it really matters. They gave me a jug in the Fall and it isn't a Ford product as far as I can tell. It is Vision-X non smearing fluid made in Quebec.
