The premium replacement wipers are Bosch Icon and Rain-X. My
experience with Rain-X wipers is they don't last long and are streaky.
The Bosch Icon are better but still only last six months or so.

The factory wipers on my Lexus lasted at least two years before I
bought a new pair and that was only because they were TWO YEARS old.
They were cheaper at the dealer than either of the other two.
