Windshield wiper blades (suckage)

[BULL]

Rhetorical question

Why do all aftermarket wiper blades suck?

It doesn't seem to matter what you buy, or how much you spend, they all suck, and are ridiculously expensive for what you get.

Compare them to the O.E. blades, and its even worse.

It is just me? Anybody actually have and good experiences with any aftermarket blades?

I stick with RainX Endura wiper blades, replace every 6-8 months

Doesn't 6 months feel like planned obsolescence when O.E. blades tend to last several years?

Depends on where you're at, I guess, we get a lot of rain and snow and dirt and salt, so they streak easily (even the oem ones) I don't like streaks
No different than brakes, oil changes and other standard maintenance

Replaced mine already (about a year ago).
Not exactly sure the type, but they were the rainx brand.
