In August 2026, Car and Driver tested wiper blades by spraying vehicles with a hose to simulate light, medium, and heavy rain, running the wipers at intermittent, medium, and high speeds for 30 seconds each, followed by 30 seconds on dry glass to check for noise and streaks. Assessed across ease of installation, water removal, material quality, and price, no products received a rank, meaning none placed on top or finished ahead of another. The products also tested were Rain-X Latitude Water Repellency, Aero Voyager, Bosch Icon, Trico Flex, Rain-X Rugged XL, OEM Wiper Blades, Bosch Focus, Rain-X Silicone Endura, Duralast Flex, Motium All-Season, Trico Platinum, and Bosch Evolution.
