🚗 BOSCH Direct Connect 40513 Conventional Wiper Blade - 13" (Single) - Premium Performance for Crystal Clear Windshield Visibility Review

Bought a non-brand at half price. The clasp didn't fit my car and the blade had 3 anchor points (CHEAP), the Bosch fitted perfectly and within a few weeks it was running on the OEM line which was twice the price of Bosch.

I bought these for my 2014 Grand Cherokee after some of the originals became obsolete. Almost from the start they were loud and wanted to "jump" through the windshield and it only got worse over time. They only had them for a few months before I bought another set from the dealer. Bosch wipers have been good on other cars, but not so much this time.

Have had these on my Suburban for 3 months. No bands, no noise, etc. Driving across the state last week, I encountered a huge swarm of cicadas for over an hour. I had to use the wipers hard to see anything and they kept the windshield clean enough the entire time. They started jumping onto the windshield once all the insides of the bugs started to dry and I was sure the wipers would be ruined. I drove my truck through the car wash and decided to hit both sides of the wipers and they still work…

These are the cheapest replacement blades you can buy, but they are so-so ie. You get what you paid for. They work well but are a little louder than most blades. This 26" blade is 1" shorter than a typical passenger car on the driver's side, which is typically 27" wide. Functionally it's fine, but you'll notice a tiny streak on the window that doesn't get clear. I have no idea why they make it an inch shorter. Everyone else makes 27" blades, and Bosch doesn't offer a 27" blade, only a 26"…
