Seems like its hard to find blades that don't fart, especially when it's raining lightly
OEM blades work the best for me. They're also cheap if you buy refills for the original blades. BMW does not make refills for my wipers, so they're $90 for a pair.

Then again, it wasn't a FGC. My blades right now are HORRIBLE. They chatter like crazy and leave streaks even after I cleaned them. I'm pretty sure they're the original blades.
Weels, do the Costco ones fit your windshield properly? I might buy a set to try, and I'll return them if I don't like 'em.

But excellent bang for the buck.

But excellent bang for the buck.Yeah they are very cheap. I've heard PIAA Silicone blades are top notch.http://www.costco.ca/PIAA-Si-Tech-Flat-Wiper-Blade-Replacement.product.100172521.html
The PIAA Costco list does not include the Q5.I found the OEM from the dealer seem to be the same as the Bosch blades ( which crappy tire doesn't sell the Q5 ones) and a dollar cheaper. They work ok.
The Honda wiper inserts for my TSX worked so well, lasted at least 1 year, and were $7 a piece. I miss that car.
