I don't know about anyone else, but I think the stock blades suck.
Has anyone swapped out for a good quality name brand?
And please don't tell me to go to Walmart and the like- I don't care if the stuff they carry is cheap. Even if it works well, I won't even venture in there.
I'm looking for a really good quality brand that makes them for the H3. Cost is not an issue.
I already looked for Bosch, as they make great stuff, but they do not have them for the H3. ???WTF???
Thanks in advance.

I put Rain X brand about 2 weeks ago. They really lay down a streak free pass on the windshield. True test will be this winter for me.

Valeo Ultimate spring metal blades from my experience are the best. Unique in design, and GM has started using the same type on many of their luxury cars. Old style blades have the spring loaded claws that cause some streaking. These have no claws, a straight spring steel backing with a rubber blade.
The are 19 bucks each, but right now Tire Rack has them on a two for one purchase. I have used them since they were introduced, and love 'em. They last about eight months.
Also, since there are no claws on the blades, snow falls off them. Unlike snow blades that have a rubber covering that prevents snow from getting into the claws and freezing, these blades do not require a rubber covering.
Snow blades are great for snow, but terrible over 45 mph since they start to lift off the window.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll look into those.
The Valeo sounds especially promising.

You can use the Bosch Icons.

That's exactly what I want to get, but the Bosch site does not indicate they're available for the H3.
Do you have info on the specific ones that fit?
Maybe I missed something when I was looking. I'll check their site again.
Looks like there's no lack of auto parts stores locally that carry them. I'll prob just stop somewhere this weekend. Should be easy to match them up.

I do not like the Winter type blades, but the Bosch are a good bang for the buck.
