Who makes Chevy's OEM wiper blades?
#11
Hard to tell what they used, they used AC Delco & Denso a bit.
I'd can only guess, and say AC Delco, I do see some VALEO brad listed as "traditional" but I have never heard of that brand..
If it were me I'd go with something like ACDELCO'*, or RainX, I have been using RainX Weatherbeater wipers on my 96' PA for a while, and they seem to last.
ACDELCO 8122 for Left
&
ACDELCO 8121 for Right
Or if you go Weatherbeater'* get a 20" PASSENGER and a 22" DRIVER

I know this doesn't help much, but according to gmparts.com: https://www.gmparts.com/parts/wipers...cked%20by%20GM.
. . . they are everything but manufactured by GM. This strikes me as a super duper secret that we peasants will never be able to find out for sure because they really don't want us to know. It also strikes me that they might use a special formulation that the real manufacturer is not allowed to use on other products.
FWIW: I've had great luck with Rain-X wipers as far as quality goes. A little pricey at Walmart, but they clear well, don't skip or make noises for a reasonable lifetime, and survive rough ice well.

back to the subject of wipers, I’ve had good results with Bosch Icon. Probably made by the same manufacturer as Rain X that several other posts mentioned.
