Silly question but what blades are the best. I got mine with crappy blades on.

Thanks

 

i picked up some Good Years in COSTCO that look like Valeo, works great!! they had a 2 for price of 1 special.

$11.00 bucks or less to have the Dealer replace Molly's, every 6mo. I have them replace the Windshield Wipers, and the Hatch Wiper!!

 

Take a lool at PIAA wipers. I installed them on my Clubby...very good results!

 

I just swapped on a pair of Bosch icon 18b blades. So far so good. Not sure if they are worth the cost in the long run but figured I'd give them a shot to try the beam technology.

 

I've been selling the PIAA wiper blades the most. I put a set on my car 4 years ago and they still work well so they are worth the extra $$

otherwise I just say go back with the OEM MINI Wiper inserts

 

I got these as well. They work great but the passenger side in 19" is too big. Thinking I may get another 18" blade for the passenger side as well.

 

The PIAA Silicone ones are the ones to get. I never had a pair of regular rubber ones last me more than 6-12 months out here with the sun and ozone. The silicone lasts a LONG time.

They even have one with an aero blade to match the stock OEM wiper. I got them on Amazon.

 

I need to get a new pair on my Cooper, put some on about 6 months ago when I got it (Bosch i think..) and they suck! They make too much noise, perhaps ill take a drive to the dealer to get OEM ones

 

I had the bosch icons on one of my other cars in the past and they were pretty good. Id get them again but the mini warranty gets me new blades every year lol.

 

The PIAA Silicone has been the best performing blade so far....for me at least. Always great contact with the windshield with no warping or skipping. My OEM ones, granted were free from the dealer, but a nuisance in every way possible. I only use MINI's blade for the rear. I've used Bosch on previous vehicles and while they are good, my personal opinion is that PIAA is better.

 

I just ordered the PIAA silicone from amazon. They weren't cheap so hopefully there worth it. Anything is better than what's on my cooper now.

 

So I picked up two sets for the 07 Cabrio and the 08 hatch and I got 18" for driver side and 19" for passenger side. Seems like 18" would have been a better fit for both. Thoughts?

 

This seems to be the consensus with aftermarket beam blades.

 

Has anyone managed to fit the PIAA Super Sporza blade on a Mini?
I assume it's not possible since their site doesn't list part numbers for that model for a Mini, not sure why though.
