Any brand or type recommendations?

Bosch all day long, down here in FLA the sun eats them alive, I use them exclusively on my F150 daily.

Bosch or Ford.

Looks like it’s going to be Bosch. No one around here except the dealership has Ford refills. Can order Motorcraft from Walmart, but have to wait on them. O’Reilly’s has the Bosch in stock.

Just installed the Bosch Focus. I can see why the others weren’t working very well. They were damn near dry rotted and felt like cardboard compared to these Bosch. They sure are proud of these bastards though.

At least you have time to shop around for a better price on a backup set. I check when a flea markets.

Awwwwwww is your Boss gonna get a boo boo from the rain? Just joking. If I can help it mine doesn't see rain either. It's more salt for me - if there are any rock salt remnants on the road the stang does not go out to play. Got stuck on my first or second track day ever in damp conditions - Better have good wipers. And a pressure washer to get all the layered rubber off the car.

As for wiper blades. Sometimes I wait for Costco to have a sale change all the vehicles and grab a set of back ups for the DD's. Actually just saw they are in sale right now - Michelin guardian hybrid 9.99 with 3 bucks off.

Mark, You are right about salt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....That will eat away your car before you know it!!!.....I hate rain, because I'm lazy and don't want to clean up the mess of a car getting stuck in the rain!............The Boss agrees, just so everybody knows!!!!!!!!!!!!!
