I have never had an issue with the OEM blades. They work great, and I have driven in some heavy downpours, for hours without issues. Are you having issues with your blades or just prefer something different?

Funny every new car I have ever bought, the blades last forever! I just changed the blades on my car at 45k miles! lol Seems as though once there changed I can never get the same longevity out of the replacement blades as hard as I try. In fact they don't last any ware near as long.

I like Anco wiper blades, those are my prefrence. Also Bosch and Rainex make a decent set as well.

um, then go back with the oem?

Something about what they put on at the factory and what they put on from the dealer is never the same. I don't understand why but its different. Same with the last 4 Chevy vehicles I have owned, Including a Toyota I bought new.

I have watched the dealer grab Delco blades....still not the long lasting as what was put on the car. That is why I have gone with Anco they last longer then the OEM's I buy at the dealer.

I always go and get the oem blades, they last a looooong time for me, allot longer than the aftermarket

I was actually washing my car and i went to grab the blade to dry it down and after 36k miles i guess they had enough and the blade peeled back a bit. Ended up getting bosch icon's at walmart for 18 a piece. Hopefully they last! We almost never ha e rain out here in cali and my car is 100% garaged.

GM part numbers for the blades with inserts: 92231676 and 92231677

You can get them on ebay for $18.86 per pair, shipped.

OEM for me all the way, no replacement has ever been as good for me as the OEM ones.

Was contemplating OEM. But i was at walmart and saw the Bosch and figured what the hell lol. They never see rain or hardly any harsh UV from the sun to wear them down.

1KillerSS · 10-03-2014, 04:43 PM

Ok now you guys got me thinking that maybe something has changed in the last few years. Too bad I just bought some blades last week,I think i'll give the OEM a shot again next time.

Dizzy82 · 10-03-2014, 08:04 PM

OEM are the best IMO.

jshaf · 10-03-2014, 08:36 PM

usually just get the OEM ones off GMpartshouse.com, from replacing them on my last camaro learned that the originals are just as good as the best aftermarket ones and there cheaper for the most part if you shop around. get the OEM's and once your replace them you will realize they are darn good!
