Chinese wiper blades

[GaryMX5]

My 1 year old CX30 needs new wiper blades. They're beginning to streak and have hardly been used. I tried cleaning them up but with little improvement. I haven't had to buy to many blade replacements over the years and was shell shocked by current prices. Online Mazda OEM blades exceed 60.00/pr + shp. Blade inserts are around 30.00! Even the big name aftermarket replacement blades easily cost 45 to 65.00 for a pair. Some Michelins at Walmart were close to 50.00 for a pair. Amazon is flooded with no name brand blades I've never heard of, but have much more attractive pricing (Yes, I'm on the cheaper side). Does anyone have any experience with any of these products, any recommendations? I assume there has to be at least one or two that are worth giving a try.

I buy the "Original silent wiper blade" from Temu. They're just as good as any brand name wipers and about 1/4 of the price.

Don’t know what connector your car uses, but Aero blades have always been good for me. I’ve used some other no name wipers that were trash.

I have had excellent results with the AERO Windshield Wipers sold on Amazon. They are comparable to Bosch Icons, but wear longer. Also had very good results with the PEAK Optix beam blades sold at Sam's Club which are repackaged Valeo blades.

The Mazda blades and refills have worked well and lasted for me (Mazda 6 and CX-5). I have noticed their dealer parts prices have gone up quite a bit.

That said, most of the better Valeo wiper blades available from Rockauto have provided really good service on the cars that I have installed them on.

Rockauto has oodles of options under $10 each.

Valeo wipers are a good choice

I’ve had good luck with “ Wowwiper” brand. Have them on 2 vehicles. I often wonder if all these Amazon brands come from the same factory..LOL

Unfortunately, with all the drama concerning First Brands, we may end up losing Anco and Trico as wiper blade options. I hope not as I really like the Trico exact fit line of wiper blades.

I'm a Bosch Ikon fan, but they're crazy priced now too!

After having expensive OE Mazda wipers tear after not very long, I decided to give some Chinese Amazon ones a go. Very affordable and the set even included the rear one. Wenyant was the brand and they have been great.

I bought 4 nice looking wiper blades that were Chinese no-brands off Amazon. They were great until one of them came apart after only a couple weeks and probably less than a couple hours of wiping. I went over to Walmart and replaced them with Rain-X wipers.

I believe the connector is a 9x3 small hook. The CX30 takes 26 and 16 inch front blades. I looked at the Aero's on amazon but it comes up saying they're not a fit for the Mazda (using vehicle search tool). Possibly a connector issue........Price is right though!

Yah, I do like their prices. I may have to suck it up and give them a second chance. They screwed up an order for me not too long ago and the wrong parts brought a project to an abrupt halt.

I tried them recently on my Jetta because of crazy brand name prices. Aeciwell off Amazon. No issues

 

[Pablo]

Since we change every year I just use Chinese knock offs

Just as good as those crazy priced blades for the first 12 months and yeah maybe they don’t last longer but don’t care

5 plus and wow wiper

I’m using Trico winter blades. My local indie parts store has the entire Trico line.

If your CX-30 has the typical 9mm x 3mm Mazda shepherd's hook connection (see below) like 99% of modern Japanese vehicles, the front Aero blades that you looked up on Amazon will fit perfectly.

The vehicle lookup tool on Amazon shows the Aero blades are incompatible because that package does not include the rear window wiper blade.

Menards has Goodyear wiper blades for $4.99 each.

I've tried these....as cheap and Chinese as they come! I no longer buy premium wiper replacements. These knock-offs wipe clean and last a year of hot summers and cold/icy winters.
