I grabbed these to try today: https://a.co/d/eXW6yex

Icons are the best, I’ll try those if I don’t like these.

I'm also interested in this from the rear window wiper perspective. People are buying longer wipers, how long are people going?
I've had a Trico 15-G on my rear window since shortly after I got the car. I think any longer and you'll get too much overrun on the right side of the window. The 15G works great though.

I just bought new wipers, I ordered a new set of ford factory ones. They work well, especially when combined with the orange rainx wiper fluid.

Also, they are cheap I think it was $24 for both off rock auto

Just an FYI, the Michelin blades from Costco that I've had pretty good success with on other vehicles are terrible for MME. They lift from the windshield on the downstroke, really bad at highway speeds and strong headwinds.

I'm curious what windshield wipers people are buying to replace the stock ones on their Mach-E. Specifically front, as there's been extensive forum discussions on the rear wiper (Trico 15-G if you want more coverage).

So, what front windshield wiper brand are you using?
Do not get the Bosch A401H. I have the 2021 MME and This wiper is not for this car; they are terrible. The middle of the wiper does not swipe; it is noisey as it's wiping. I bought a box of 6 online from O'Reilly, and now I'm stuck with them. Either I throw them out of give them to another sucker that want to buys this wiper. Pay for shipping and they are yours.

I also switched to these, front and rear. Better than the Trico 15-G in the rear, and better than OEM in the front.

I also use orange Rain-X fluid year round now.

I usually use the Bosch Icon wipers, they seem to work well and last.
If you are looking at the Bosch A401H rear wiper, as recommended elsewhere on this forum, it is not for a 2021 MME; they are terrible.

BOSCH A380H 3397008050 OE Specialty Rear Wiper Blade is what I use. It works well for me. The last time I replaced one was because the one I had disappeared.
For the front I tried a different one - Trico Silicone Ceramic - pricey but they are working great.

This is my first Ford since the mid-90s. On my previous vehicles, I would just change out the wiper blade inserts (the rubbery parts only). Is that not a thing on the Mach E?

I don’t know if modern blades allow for changing just the rubber part. That said, what people are reacting to is the length of the OEM wiper blades on these cars. The rear blade is particularly short. Lots of opinions on the various brands. I happen to be in the Bosch camp and think they’re excellent wiper blades.
