2013 Vista Wiper Blades

I was wondering if anyone had found a better quality blade for these rigs? The factory blade was horrible from day 1. I've tried Trico and some odd brand a dealer sold. Both streaked like a 3 year old blade right out of the box and neither was able to even keep the top 3 inches of the blade on the glass due to the curvature of the windshield. Bosch makes a really nice super curved blade that looks like it might actually be springy enough to clean the curved windshield of the coach but unfortunately it's design will not allow it to be installed on the 12mm J hook. I'm really not interested in 9mm adapters I'd prefer a higher quality better built blade made for the application. I just paid $76 for two blades that streaked right out of the box and didn't touch the glass the whole length of the blade and it's not the first time so if there's something that works that's more expensive I think it's worth it. Better than throwing $76 bucks away on something that didn't work when it was brand new. Any recommendations?

Why would you be throwing $76 away? Why not take the blades back where you bought them?

You can test them with window washer fluid. Or just a hose with spray head.

I also went though a series of blades for my last RV and ended up with a cheap silicon rubber universal...it actually worked the best out of the brands I tried. But my curvature wasn't pronounced.

Universal wiper blade...

Those are only 6mm but merely a place to start searching...

I have a 2017 Viste 29VE. I use the Trico Flex wiper blade. Go to their website and you can determine which blade you need, it is very user friendly. tricoproducts.com/Drivers/FindYourWiperSize. I put in your info, 2013 Vista and their 28" blade came up. Part number 67-284.
