What your experience with replacement wipers on your Camaro everyone. I'm hearing going to the dealer might be the best option. Aftermarket has been hit or miss with previous cars I've owned. And nasty winter use should be taken in consideration when giving an opinion. Thanks everyone in advance.

I like Bosch replacement blades. Just the blade though, not the whole assembly.

It's a little more work to swap, but I like the factory assembly better than the aftermarket options.

I just use factory. My price at the dealer is much cheaper than aftermarket and they do just as good or better.

I barely used mine but had to replace after a couple years. I guess being so dry here and the Arizona sun wore em out. I went with stock replacements because of that reason. Didn't see a reason to spend double the price and not really use em. I think the stock ones work great anyway.

I have never replaced an OEM blade with something better. I am now going OEM from the dealer.
