    Default Best wiper blades for VW Jetta

    Hey guys. Last year the wiper flew off my brand new Jetta while I was driving so I took it to the dealership who replaced it with a new pair. However, this new wiper is extremely squeaky when it moves on the windshield. Don't know what friction it has with the windshield (pun intended) but the two just don't seem to work together very well.

    I am pretty sure the dealership screwed me over by putting some cheap aftermarket wipers but its too late to go back to them since the car has since changed province. So just wanted to ask you guys what would you suggest as the best replacement wipers that I can buy online or from a store, since VW is not likely to pay for this repair.

    Any serious recommendations anyone? I have recently moved to an area where there is hardly a day when it doesn't rain (heavy non stop rain). So a pair of good wipers would be a life saviour.

    as far as I know the two I posted above are your only option due to the specific wiper arm

    yes you can't use just any blade. It is a "aero" clip

    depending on the year of your jetta, you may be stuck using oem wiper blades because of how the blade mounts to the arm.

    Its a 2013 Jetta as far as I know it takes those easy clip on clip off wiper blades that come off just by pressing that button in the centre. I used to have a Golf 2007 and man it was a mission to replace wiper blades on it because of the random hook thing.

    From my experience, the best is always OEM, unless your windshield is in rough shape and completely pitted/scratched.

    Just replace wiper inserts whenever they go bad. But I assume you aren't about to go buy a new OEM wipers after your dealership experience.

    I have found OEM to work the best on my of my cars, and usually on the cheaper side too when compared to Canadian Tire or something.
