Denso EVB Evolution Wipers are squeaky!

[slacktide_bitog]

They wipe good but squeak too often. They are made in China. Part numbers EVB[size]. For example, the 19-inch wipers are EVB19

Denso no longer makes their standard wipers, part number 160-11[size]. For example, 160-1119

So if you like Denso/NWB, they only have the cheap EVB Evolution wipers, or expensive Designer hybrid wipers, which are way too expensive, like $20 even on Rock Auto!

Valeo Titanium is much better.

That's expensive?
Try $70.00 for a Mercedes Benz OEM pair!

I had a customer who had some sort of MB (can't remember what it was) and the wipers were heated and something else special about them. I think they were around $600 from the dealer.

I currently have a set of PowerClear (think PowerStop Brakes) and have actually been very happy with them so far. Better than the Bosch and Trico Force that I was using previously.

Nope, not heated, just rubber. These seem to have found their way as a "GIFT" from my MB salesman. The last two cars I bought from him, he threw in an extra set of wiper blades.
My car is garage kept in FL, but it still gets extremely hot in my garage (south facing door). That said, It still has the original factory wiper blades from 2018!
I just clean the windshield VERY well if they start acting up in any way.
Dead silent and non streaking to this very day.

That's OEM, not aftermarket. Of course OEM from the dealer will cost more than aftermarket from RA

True.

If you can source rubber refills though, the denso designers might end up being the best value out there.

I always use Trico Ultra. They last and don't chatter at speeds that I definitely don't travel at because that would be irresponsible.

And they're ~$8/ea on RA.

Yeah I like US-made wipers too, and I even found the Ultra locally for $8 (so no shipping charge), but they don't work on my car. Older cars can't use beam wipers

Perhaps the Trico High Mileage wipers might work if they actually work and aren't a gimmick, but I still have my doubts on them

I couldn't get the HM wipers without RA cart shenanigans. I wanted to try them on my Jetta which has a borderline dangerously chipped and scratched windshield that chews up cheap wipers.

I ran beams on my Trooper but the windshield glass was flatter than my storm door. Looked wrong though.
