Mopar doesn't make their own wiper blades, manufacturing is farmed out to various companies depending on model and year.

Bosch Icon is what I picked for the high desert with harsh winters and punishing UV exposure. I park outside, so they take a beating.

Bosch ICON are pricey but excellent. Tried em, luved em, got em on all my vehicles now.

I replaced mine with a S2000 blades, driver side. I don't know what rubber Honda used but it lasted and worked good with mine past vehicles. And, refill inserts are just $10 for a pair.

I'm very picky on blades and change them basically at the first sign of a streak. OEM's are the cheapest blade I've found that last more than 6 months at a time for me i mixed climate NJ. I normally get them ~$15 a piece compared to the only one's I had luck with prior the high end Rain-X's at ~$30+ a piece. Definitely going with the performance blades next, the replacement rubber is even cheaper. I plan on just stocking up on like 5 sets.

What is the part number for the s2000 blades? I’ve used Honda wipers on a lot of my cars simply because they offer refills when other makes do not.

I went with this Denso plastic version instead of the oem Honda metal one. It's the same wipers used on late model Lexus. It'll except the oem S2000 400mm/16" refills.

Denso 160-3116

Edit: Denso above and the OEM Honda wipers are made by the same company NWB Japan.

I use trico ultras on all my cars. Used to use Bosch icons, the trico ultras are better & made in America and work very well.

I live in an area where the sun bakes everything. Michelin silicon kind seem to be holding up well.

Agree with silicon blades. Have much better lifespan with them. it’s hot in Texas and they hold up well.

For years, I’ve used Rain-X blades as soon as the originals wear out. I had used a few other brands before I went with Rain-X and find Rain-X last years and clean the wind screen better than others I have used. They ain’t cheap but I like ‘em.

Where's the best place to get OEM replacements? Obviously you can get them from a stealership, but is there a good place online?

Trico Gold. They work well and they're cheap.

2 pack is about $20 on Amazon.

Nobody blows them out or sells them super cheap once shipping is factored in for a set.

This listing on Ebay for $22.34 each delivered when bought as 2ea is about as cheap as I have seen them. There is other dealership online sites that will advertise in the $18 range but once shipping is factored in, that value evaporates.

Does anyone run slightly larger blades? I don't have my Jeep or owners manual in front of me to see the size, but I seem to remember while driving the I could squeak out another inch or so of blade to cover more of the windshield.

i got whatever O'Reilly book said to get and within my budget or amazon. They will eventually need to be replaced again.
EDIT - i got them from amazon LOL
