Default wiper blade replacement

hi everyone, I have a 2018 f-type and need a wiper replacement.
Do I have to get these at the dealership and if not, does anyone know the specifics?
Thanks very much,
Nick

It appears that Rain X has several styles listed for your car:

Trico too:

I got a set at Advance Auto, their " house" brand. SO easy to put on and really do a nice job cleaning. I also use the Rain-ex version of Invisible Glass to keep the windshield free of rain.

I didn't find it necessary to use the "service position" - they came off nicely as they were.

I just replaced the wipers on the F-Pace with a set of Trico Platinum. Easy to mount (no adapters required) and they work well.
The sizes are different for the F-Type, but they make a set for it, as well:
TRICO Platinum 22" and 21" P/N: 25-2221

I'm a diehard PIAA fan - their Super Silicones are on all my cars. Just replaced mine on the Jaguar yesterday, lol. 21 and 22". Ordered on Amazon.

I used to buy the PIAA blades years ago (5-6) and they froze up terrible bad in the winter with all the ice and snow. That's of no concern for my F type, she'll be in bed for at least 4 months to avoid that crap. But, in any case, you living in Ohio should see some of that crap weather, what's your experience? I can use them on my other cars. Thanks!

I decided to stay with OEM last time I changed them (they’re probably due again.) They work well, and I know they stay down well in excess of 100MPH. Got them from one of the dealer’s eBay store (Pasadena? Rusnak? Dont recall.)

I saw no difference on oem manufacture blades I bought from Rock Auto for $17 and the ones I took off.
