Windshield Wiper Upgrades

[SightUp]

I remember there being a thread about a year ago about upgrading wipers. What is the consensus on the best upgrades I can purchase, front and back, for my Mach E?

Honestly the fronts are fine, rear you can get a 14" or 15" blade from your Ford dealer for a Ford Edge that is the exact same except longer.

Ah, I thought there was something else in front we can use. I am 6,000 miles in, and mine are leaving streaks. I am not a fan of the stock ones.

For the rear, look up this: Bosch A401H

You cannot get a better fitting rear wiper. This is it. It goes all the way to the edge minus like 3mm.

So you'd go with the A401H 16" over the A380H 15"? I see where you say it goes to the edge but I've heard the 15" doesn't sit flat at the edge, does the A401H?

I have a Trico 15-G on the rear and the original front blades on the front. No issues yet, almost 16 months, been through a couple of snow storms and one summer. I expect I will need to replace them all in the fall.

Hey sorry missed this for some reason ... Can confirm the larger A401H installs super easily, has been used at highway speeds, and the blade makes contact throughout the entire range of motion from one end to the other, it sits flush up against the glass right up to the very edge. What I DON'T KNOW is how this added inch or two will work with snow/ice/slush. It wipes rain completely and the field of view through the wiped glass is a TON better than stock.

Did you receive it yet? Install took like 2mins. Just be very careful when bringing the BLADELESS arm back down to the glass, it will want to snap back and hit the glass, bring it back gently. If you're concerned of accidentally letting it go mid-install and smacking the glass, put some cardboard behind while installing.

Yeah. We dont get much snow in SoCal so I’ll have to give the 16’s a shot. Thanks!

Hi guys, I just did a comparion for a MME forum in Germany regarding the rear wipers
all wipers do fit on the rear, the only blade exceeding the glas is the Bosch A450H, all others are perfect

As for the frront wipers we have tested Bosch A225S (length 650/550), on this one the passerger side slightly touches the A pillar. It works but due to the length of the passenger blade not recommended.
Then we have the A636S and A051S with a length of 650 repectively 530 mm, these are packs with 2 wipers same length. Yesterday we found out the Bosch A638S (650/530) which is for VAG vehicles does also fit the MME. These blades are recommeded and work perfectly.

Can confirm this one works great, installed it this weekend. Slide/pull original off and this one just pops in securely. Initially I was a bit concerned since the adapter is slightly different, but it works great.

if you wonder why one mentions A400H and the other user A401H
then have a look at thee pic below. When you take off the cap on the 400 then you get the 401. That's all they are the same wipers
