Windshield wipers
Finally saw some rain here in the Bay area and discovered my wipers are not as effective due to aging. Need some info on whether to replace them with Porsche, Bosch or other OEM wipers.

new OEMs weren't much better than the old OEMs I was replacing...

I usually clean and treat my DD was with Rainex two or three times a year. The Rainex deep cleans the ws surface and makes the wipers more effective. Also you can clean and rejuvenate the wiper blades with Rainex to clean the slime off them.

I put PIAA silicone blades on mine and they work great.

I have been using these on my 2011 GTS. Very high quality and reasonably priced at Amazon.

Use the OEM blade holders as they have the correct angle and curvature and replace the runner wiper material in them with PIAA silicone refills. Follow the directions to use the treatment application packet that comes with them and you're in business.

Just posting an update here since I recently updated my wiper blades to Bosch Clear Advantage (22" for both driver and passenger).
Install was a breeze - not like Goodyear or RainX or the other universal wiper blades that I've tried before.
This one did not need any adapter and has a nice click-lock which secures the blades to the wiper arm!
