What are you folks using for wiper blades? The OE ones on my 2023 freeze stiff pretty easily. They also take a long time to unthaw using the defroster and washer fluid (which is rated to -30F). Once frozen, they only wipe about 1/5th the windshield. :LOL:

Driver's side - 24"
Passenger side - 17" (you can use an 18" here as well)

The factory wipers are trash...replaced mine at beginning of winter...

Thanks. Bought RainX Silicone Endura because Advantedge wasn't on Amazon. Some other pages say they're nearly the same. Got to be better than OEM ones.

I was thinking, I bet the new ones being frameless will help a lot. The frame is just area for ice to accumulate and prevent the blade from flexing.

Yep...I've had no issues in -40C with ice or snow build up. They tend to chatter a little bit at those temps (occasionally), but that's a pretty extreme low and they do warm up after a couple passes.

What does OEM stand for..? An abbreviation I'm not familiar with.
