The top of the line mopar ones worked great for me. I also only get the GM ones for my truck. IMO the OE ones are the best

I need to get dealer gunk off my windows too so I'll try it. Lots of Mothers fans on here.

One of the features of the protection package I got was a windshield coating that is reapplied periodically. That reminds me - I should get that done. At 43k miles and about 2 years on my 2012, I haven't had to replace wiper blades and have no streaking, stuttering, etc. And I live in the great white North.

i add p21s wash booster to my wiper fluid, most of my wipers last a good 3 seasons or more. I use the generic wipers i find at costco made by good year. Hard to beat $5 wipers that last a few seasons, streak free and squeak free.

Bosch Icon Wipers, Rain X 2 in 1 washer fluid and Detailers Pro glass coating (applied by me), no streaks , no skipping, no problems.

Clean the blades with alcohol or lacquer thinner. Then washing your windshield on the outside and clean the windshield with detailing clay with a lubricant, a polisher and good polish or simply 0000 Steel Wool and glass cleaner. All 3 of those options work really well.

My '12 Crew is on its original set of blades after 36K miles with no problems at all.

Default UPDATE Wiper blade inserts

After paying $40.00+ for a pair of Mopar blades, I stopped in O'Reilly's to see if they had inserts. They did. Below is the photo of the Trico insert part nbrs along with the Mopar nbrs. Note the Trico's were made in Mexico, while the Mopar's were made in Japan. Wonder how the GOP will handle that?

Anyone know if we can use inserts in Gen 3 Durango wiper blades? Stopped by the local dealer who said they only sell the whole blade assembly, not inserts. Lots of inserts on Amazon but no definitive statement that any of them will work in the existing Durango arms. Thanks.

I have a set of wipers from Costco on my D. They work well. They were cheap too.

As for a deep cleaner, I have used "Brasso" metal polish on an old car for a deep cleaning on a car window. Worked well on a $700 1978 Monte Carlo 20 years ago. I'd be a little leery of using it on my $40,000 SUV though.
