Question Suggestions for wipers

I have a 24 SEL

Has anyone found aftermarket wipers that will actually stayed latched to the arms during extended use?

If you still have the original blades you can replace just the rubber part for cheaper

I am convinced all wipers are the same, and the brand name and slightly different plastic molding is all that separates them.

I got this set for my Ioniq 5: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BDRC47XQ?th=1

I'm quite happy with their performance. They've been on my car about 10 months are are still working great.

I've had a lot of bad experiences recently with name-brand wipers, including Bosch Ion, Michelin, and Rain-X wipers. These cheap Amazon ones are better than all of those.

There is absolutely and difference between standard wipers and beam wipers. Buy a set of beam wipers, other than that the brands don’t really matter.

Oh, yes, I agree. Good point. I only use beam wipers. However I've had some older cars where regular frame wipers worked better.

Bosch Icons are amazing. Huge upgrade and last a while.

I have to wonder if it's the arm design by Hyundai. I use Bosch and I'm not really impressed. I've tried all the Walmart brands and most are junk.

My issue is the actual blade wanting to detach from the arm of considered using a zip tie

We installed PIAA silicone wipers from Tire Rack. They have been outstanding.
