Front wiper blades recommendation

[94cruiser]

Looking to replace the front wiper with ones that have a similar look and work well.

What do you recommend?
(I did search, and what I can find are references for the rear Bosh H311)

Thanks.

I bought the OEM ones from GM parts direct. They were cheaper than the ones from the parts store. The Bosch Icon ones worked horrible on the front windshield.

Let me know how you like these. Have not been impressed with the OE or Bosch Icons on this car.

squeaky, but preformed well today in my quick outing to the UPS store in Golden Valley.

Someone else had pointed out a refill rubber blade for the OEM. As I have that set off now I may see how they fit as a back up or next changeover.

I used Bosch Spectrum Direct Fit Hybrid, they match OEM design in looks and fit. The seem to work ok for me.

I just picked those up and so far so good...though it has only been a week or so. I will order another set since they are cheap and will store in the car easily.

But you can buy the OEM hybrid design from lots of places including Rock auto.

I put some RainX blades on another car and they sure made a difference in bad weather. Will probably do the same on my TourX when it comes replacement time.

As simple as it may sound, wipers had been a challenge for me. All of the new ones I had tried produce streaks and/or rubber squeaks after just a few weeks. I tried ACDelco hybrid, they worked great, but were squeaky. I then tried Michelin from Costco, they produce streaks all the time. I tried Valeo Ultimate Frameless, also terrible streaks. Tried different Michelin beam wipers from Walmart, also produced streaks. When I had Honda/Acura/Toyota cars I never ran into this problem, my wipers lasted for years and never streaked or squeaked. Is our windshield covered with some protective layer?
I will most likely go back to stock ACDelco, I will just replace them more often, unless you guys found something decent that you can recommend.

Needed to rush the replacement as one of the blades developed a tear and went with the OEM from my local dealer.
Replaced during the rain and took it for a quick spin. So far so good.

I kept the old set in case I want to try the insert route next time.

Thank you all for the responses.

I have dealer replace mine every six months and never have a problem. I went through a phase of trying everything out there and doing it myself. I’m on my third Regal and find that my maintenance costs at the dealer are minimal compared to the imports I used to drive. I am lucky in that I have probably the best Buick dealership in the Northeast.

I have Bosch Icons- only problem, it seems like I can't get rid of small spot it turnes water to a honeycomb like pattern right on the middle of the blade( no matter what blade I used).

I have this exact issue as well. We are getting some good rain here this morning and it showed itself again.

I need to just Aquapel the glass.

Gets me wondering, if blade has enough down force at this spot. I was thinking about Aquapel as well.

I used to be a big fan of Aquapel but my last order I was not impressed with. So much so I reached out to them to see if I possibly bought counterfeit units off Amazon. I got no response.

Ahhh bummer. I had heard that as well.

If the Aquapel was actually working as expected, how is it better than RainX? Never heard of it before, so I'm intrigued.

Is it just another coating? Between ceramic coat and/or religious use of RainX, I rarely use my wipers in the first place. The best performing wiper I have ever used is a clean windshield.
