Wiper blades 2008 HHR SS

Searched but couldn't find anything current. Looking for suggestions for wiper blades. Brand/model specific please. rock Auto shows 50 or more different ones. Local Advance Auto Parts has Trico Onyx, Trico Maxx, Bosch ICON ClearMax, Rain-X Weatherbeater, Rain-X silicone, and several others ranging from $15-$32. Don't get a lot of rain or snow in southern Oklahoma but it'd be nice to not have them streaking all the time.

I have the Bosch winter wipers on now and Trico 21180 for the warmer weather, both work very well for their seasons.


don’t forget the discount code for RockAuto!

I have used Bosch and Rain-X and liked them both, but I recently got these just because I liked the style and they were a deal and it turns out they are excellent!

I also use only Rain-X washer fluid and I rarely have to turn on the wipers when it is raining.

I went by his suggestion on the brand blades and I'm quite pleased with them.
Don't go nuts swapping wiper blades like you would do with summer and snow tires.

I purchased Genuine GM replacement Blades. They are not the same as the originals but an improved factory replacement.
GM# 23353587.
I have found them The Best replacement blades I have ever used.
My wipers are now … NO Chatter, Streaks, or Noise and operate perfect.
I could not be More Pleased...……

Rainex "Expert Fit" "Hybrid" are available everywhere I've looked, usually about ten bucks. Like the OEM's, give nice even pressure because they don't rely on a bent piece of plastic, and they have an aero shape. They work just like the OEM's and look very similar.
