- Calculator returns driver, passenger and rear blade sizes plus recommended type.
Worked Example
Reference Table
Replace blades every 6–12 months or when streaking starts. Both blades together — they age at the same rate.
| Blade type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Traditional | Hot dry climates, lowest cost |
| Beam | Cold/snow regions, even pressure, no exposed frame |
| Hybrid | Mixed climates, balance of cost and performance |
| Winter | Heavy snow — full rubber boot over hinges |
Frequently Asked Questions
Are name-brand blades worth it?
For beam blades, yes — Bosch ICON, Rain-X Latitude and Michelin Stealth outlast off-brand by 50–100%. For traditional blades, the difference is smaller.
Should I use rain repellent in addition?
Yes for highway driving — Rain-X or factory water-repellent windshields shed water above 40 mph without wipers, reducing blade wear and improving visibility.
