I generally advocate for OEM parts for our cars, but sometimes you have to question the cost for generic items. I wanted to replace my wipers and thought that $55+ was a little steep. I searched for OEM replacement and found this option (Valeo Titanium). They are an OEM supplier so figured they had to be of reasonable quality. For about $20 I got a good pair of wipers that operate smoothly. Just thought I would share an option with the group.

Did something similar. Went with a company that is an OEM supplier & had a direct replacement set. Installed myself & saved about 60%.

Going in for the annual service in April. On the schedule is cabin filter & engine filter. Will do the engine myself but leave the cabin filter to the dealer. Looks to be a major league bitch to do.

Have to take a look. Think it was Bosch but not sure. Old farts brain fart.

Thing I do remember was the clips were an exact match to what I took off. Was a quick swap. Originals lasted about a two & a half years, did the swap last summer, 22,000+ miles.

I usually change wipers once a year and have been having good luck with these from Amazon, they look exactly like the originals and fit the same.
