Default Recommendation for new wiper blades

The rubber finally came off of my right wiper from the 3 years I lived in Chicago so I need to get them replaced (2005 xA). What brand should I get that's not too expensive but gets the job done and what size do I need? I now live in CA so no need for anything that deals with harsh winter weather conditions. Thanks!

you're supposed to change those every 6 months or something. you can get rubber fillings at the dealership for pretty cheap rather than buying a whole new blade. that's what I would do.

I had no idea. Thanks! My dealership is a pain to deal with unlike the great one I had in Chicago. Found what I needed online for less than $10 with shipping. I'll just go ahead and replace both fillers.

Thumbs up Best replacement wiper blades for xA?

ive been using trico neoform beam blades for several years after switching from latitudes and icons. of all of them they have the best contact and are the quietest. the kicker is that they're also the least expensive of the three top choices out there. I normally replace every november but honestly you could go longer if you wanted to.

Bosch Evolution wipers. Sweet spot of price and performace. Great for snow and rain and they last forever. I've had my set on since march of this year and have good through all kinds of weather.
