Windshield Wipers recommendations?

[AliRafiee]

I bought Bosch once and it didn’t clean in front of the camera. It didn’t lay flat in that area.
Maybe it was rainX. ?

Do any of these fit out-of-the-box without adding the included adapters?

I use these for my rear. Amazon warns it doesn't fit the MME but it does, and no adapter needed.

I use the Rain-X brand. Wipers, glass treatment and washer fluid, all Rain-X.

I also switched out the rear wiper for one that is 1” longer.

Which specific wiper did you get for the rear? It definitely needs to be longer IMHO!

This wiper is not for this car; they are terrible. I have the 2021 MME 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.

Can someone please recommend me some new windshield wipers for my Mach E?

Stay away from the Bosch A401H for the rear wiper
This wiperBosch A401H, as recommended elsewhere on this forum, is not for a 2021 MME; they are terrible. The middle of the wiper does not swipe; it is noisy as it's wiping.

Can you provide the model? Are they on Amazon?

If you are looking at the Bosch A401H, as recommended elsewhere on this forum, it is not for my 2021 MME; they are terrible. The middle of the wiper does not swipe; it is noisy as it's wiping.

I am surprised and grateful that the OEM blades have lasted over a year, so far. I couldn't' get blades for the previous car (a Clarity) to not squeak.

Does anyone know what the brand and model number is for the OEM wipers (at least for MY22)? My OEM wipers have lasted two years now, way longer than my wipers on other cars. It could be that I keep the exterior of the car (including windshield) cleaner in my MME than others but it’s probably a good time to replace them.

I am not sure if it matters, but I bought a while back a service/product where they put a plastic film on the windshield. I got it after I had to replace the windshield due to rock chips. It has worked wonders. Point being what treatment and will it work on plastic rather than glass?

I know that we’ve applied Rain-X to windshield tear-offs and that didn’t seem to be an issue. I have also used Rain-X on polycarbonates. ?‍?

My OEM front wipers are still good at 3-3/4 years. ??

EDIT: Oops. 2-3/4 years. ?‍?

totally agree. The Bosch blades I installed front and rear are excellent.

Our experiences sound like an endorsement of the OEMs which appear to be made by Motorcraft. Looks like these are available from Ford and it might be a good use of FordPass reward points since they now expire and I don't have much occasion to use them.

For those interested, it looks like these are the part #'s for the front wipers, at least for MY'21-'23:

Passenger side (right): LJ8Z-17528-AA

I'll add my vote for OEM wipers. On all the Fords I have owned, I found that OEM wipers lasted 2-3x longer than aftermarket wipers. I discovered this on a SUV where aftermarket wipers with the funny plastic adapters looked cobbled together. I replaced them after six months with Ford wipers which looked better and lasted twice as long.
