I've tried lots of different wipers over the time I've had my D3, but ended up recently purchasing some genuine LR ones from TLO and they have been the best by far
Others have either been noisy, sqeeky, or just smeer the rain around the screen

Genuine have been the best ones for me but you do get the squeel sometimes  , Landrover do sell the screen paste to stop this happening and for over a year now they have been squeekless  .
Have tried others but this is only my personal opinion. 'Just because you're breathing doesn't mean you're alive'

05 with 105k on the clock and still on second set. Only ever had originals.
Bang for buck that seems to be pretty good value.

Finally gave in a bought a pair of Valeo Silencio blades, it's all true, quietest blades I've ever had and the clearest wipe
Cheapest place I could find a pair was on Amazon The End

At the moment l'm using these from wiperblades.co.uk. Trico NF550 & NF550 Twin Pack at £23 delivered which I thought were very reasonable.
I have to agree, the genuine have been a pain on my D3 and also on the D4, squeals and judders being my problems.
No such problems with the Trico.

Halfords own brand is made by Valeo
i usally use the bosch ones from halfords , work out about half price with the trade card
allways been a good wiper blade , used them for years , and change them regular , and defently replace this time of year and again when the salts all gone
