I also use bosch icon blades and they work GREAT! Best wiper I've ever bought! Lol I screwed myself on my first pair I got and after spending iver $40 for stinking wipers I installed a 50" light bar and the factory size wipers hit it. I'm currently running 12 " wipers (still bosch icons)

Skip the Scurbblades, have had them for about nine months, not worth the price IMHO

I've been using rain x latitudes for years now and they are an excellent wiper for the money.

AQUAPEL!!! Same stuff they use on planes that don't have wipers. With this stuff you only need wipers in very heavy rain. I can drive down the freeway with light rain and not even hit the wipers. Just picked up a 6 pack on Amazon for $24. It's cheap and lasts about 6 months. Really only need to do once a year.

I just bought those today on sale for $12 a piece and put some on the wife's liberty. They was better than the junk stock for sure. The only real problem I noticed with the wrangler is the wipers sit to low on the windshield to stay in a warm spot to keep from icing up the blade when it's really cold. Aside from that it'll plow through as much snow as I make it.

I noticed that today in this snowstorm we're having. Had a pile of ice building up on the driver's side, on the bottom while the center of the windshield was just a slushy mess. I wonder if running the defroster at full blast would make a difference?

I have a set of PIAA Super Silicones on my MINI Cooper that are outrageously good - haven't had to Rain-X that windscreen in a year and a half. Doesn't look like they make them for a JK, though...

I went with Trico Neoform and so far I'm happy with 'em.

I have a hard time with wiper blades because they hit my windshield banner ( I think ) or they just suck. I went and got the icons and they are real streaky and Chattery. My old $8 ones worked great loved them. Also I do polish and clean the glass as well as use a good silicone lub on the wiper blades ( anyways helps )

Hey thanks! From some of the other posts, I thought the fronts were 13".... Thanks for the link - ordered the PIAA's since they've been good to me on the MINI.
