Which wiper blades to get???
OK
Jeeps a year old, wipers are just not doing it as well anymore.
Which blades do you guys suggest and which size?
On my last vehicle I had the RainX wipers and liked them but
don't know if they come in the size we need OR if there is something
newer and better
Thanks!

The size on your Jeep is 15". RainX only makes the Weatherbeater blades in this size.
I have the latitude wipers on another vehicle and I really like them, but RainX doesn't make them small enough for the JK.

Blade kind does matter much to me. I repl. them twice a year but as for the size I don't know? I always eyeballed them got the refills I thought were to long and cut them with a pair of dykes to fit. refills are so much more cheaper

Silblade. They are silicone, not rubber so they don't dry out and crack in the sun and they don't freeze in the winter. They also have a 5 yr. replacement. I have had mine replaced twice on my other vehicle at no charge..

I've used every brand that is sold at local auto part chain stores, never can tell a lick of difference. I get whats on sale or whats cheapest....I do 15s all the way around.

Yes but well worth, trust me. I have used them on all my vehicles and its like night and day from regular wipers. No streaking and works a charm in all conditions. Also I got mine replaced for free twice under their warranty no questions asked and it wasn't even for wiper performance, it was for paint chipping off the wipers from rocks.
Now thats service. Can't recommend these highly enough.
My last car I didn't replace my wipers at all with these they held up so well.

They're not silcone, or rubber. They are silicone rubber...so the site says.
