All:

I have a newly purchased 2006 H2 Lux (obv. used). The driver wiper was original and the passenger was a Rain-X. Both were working poorly. I thought $ might work and purchased the computer recommended Bosch ICON wipers - terrible! They only cover less than 1/2 of the swipe. I'm guessing there is a curvature issue with the wiper design and the flatness of the H2 windshield. I can obviously go to GM and purchase OEM - but does anyone have experience with wipers purchased from Pep Boys, Advance, Auto Zone, etc. that work well? Brand and recommended website would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick

 

I was just going to Auto Zone today to buy new wipers. But now I'm going to wait until I hear from someone with some experience!!!

 

I have bought bosch in the past and liked them! They did great!
I have seen the rain x ones on tv and they look really cool! I was thinking about trying them.
I dont know if they will work well due to the steep slope of the front of the h2.
Heck I will probably just buy bosch's. I have always had good luck with those and they have been really nice.

 

I use ANCO I think they are the OEM supplier.

 

Yea that ANCO is a good brand too!

 

Just went through this all in the last 3 weeks. Bought basic wipers and they worked fine but kept freezing solid with all the snow and rain, so trashed them. Then went and bought the Icon blades, drivers side worked awesome but passenger side kept leaving a football sized area unswiped. Right in nthe cent of the widsheild. Went back to autozone and tried a few more blades. Rainex one worked best on passengerside, so I have a icon on the drivers side and a rainex on the passenger side

 

I went back to Autozone and complained about the Bosch ICON ones - they suggested I try Duralast - works perfect. It is all about the curve - you don't want one to be present in the natural blade. These just went through the 24+ inches of snow in the DC area. I'll stick with them for a while.
