Difference between OEM/Ford/Motorcraft Wiper Blades
Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding the difference between the various types of OEM/Ford/Motorcraft wiper blades available on the market. From an extensive search, I've noticed that there seems to be at least three different types of "OEM" blades available. The only one I've tried so far is the Motorcraft "Premium Flat" Blade, and it seemed somewhat lower in quality compared to Rain-X and Bosch blades.
I've included the part numbers and links with a product description for reference. Any help/input would be greatly appreciated!

any my two cents on blades, the OEM ones do pretty well in AZ heat as do Trico's. I won't spend too much more than that. I have a few sets on hand that I ordered from Rock Auto. Cost about 1/3 of the parts stores even with shipping.
