What brand. type and model if possible. I am in souther US and heat is big killer on rubber parts. Cheers Hi jm98. I've always had good luck with the Motorcraft wipers. And if the wipers on your car are still the factory Lincoln/Motorcraft wipers after 4+ years, your wipers did right by you too. You can find a coupon for Motorcraft wipers on the Lincoln Owners, Ford Owners, Quick Lane and many Dealer websites service coupon pages. Here is one example on the Ford Quick Lane site: https://www.quicklane.com/current-specials/wiper-blade-coupons.html That being said, everyone will have their own opinions and you generally won't go wrong with wiper blades from any of the major wiper manufacturers. But as I stated above, I have used the Motorcraft replacements for many years and always been happy with them. Hope this information helps. Good luck. EDIT - If you are also due for an oil change and tire rotation, some Lincoln/Ford Quick Lane Service Departments are now offering a coupon for "The Works" oil change and tire rotation special, plus a pair of Motorcraft Premium Wipers, plus a $10 mail in rebate, all for $39.95. So you can get an oil change, tire rotation, vehicle check-up, fluid check/fill and a pair of wiper blades, all for $29.95 after rebate.

drolds1 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I've also had good luck with Motorcraft blades. I like them enough to put a set on my Nissan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKZMark Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The OEM blades are very good on our 2017s, a year old + now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBrown Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I always have the dealer change them when they do my annual state inspection. I do the same thing for the cabin filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKZ4Us Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Have a 2018 MKZ and looking to replace wiper blades. Measured passenger side, spot on 20". Driver side is right on 23". Odd size. I can find the 20 " blades all day long but can't find a 23". Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKZ4Us Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I tried the Michelin guardian Hybrid Wipers from Costco but they didn't have a connector that would fit the Lincoln MKZ arm. I'll look for that coupon. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokestone10 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I've always liked Trico Neoforms. My car isn't garaged so my wipers are constantly in the sun but the Neoforms hold up pretty well. They never streak until they're worn out to the point of needing replaced anyway. I know you're supposed to change out your wiper blades about twice a year, but I''ve had the Neoforms last a year or longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1steven Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Yes Like you've mentioned, a garaged vehicle definitely extends wiper blade life. What I have been using for many years and is effective for much much longer wiper blade life (I mean years longer) is to treat windshield with rain-x liquid. The chemical combination on the rubber combined with less dirt and debris on windshield makes for safer driving as well.And one bottle will last you a long time.

drolds1 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 A word about use Rain-X: Avoid applying it to the windshield in the area in front of the sensor if equipped with rain-sensing wipers, as it can affect operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1steven Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Good to know but I'll continue to use rain x as per their direction. In short I still have the original blades on this vehicle (now 112,000 miles and 5 years old) and through all the snow, ice and bad weather they still work like new.
