 Good product June 15, 2008

I have those wipers for about 3 weeks now. Used them in some heavy rain and I'm quite satisfied. Windshield is clean, no misty white fog left by wipers. With heavy rain and higher speed, as left wiper goes down from the most top position by the pillar, some water is pulled back on the windshield (maybe 2-3 inches into the windshield). Some aerodynamics issues? But it happens at higher speed, and wind pushes water back to the side in split second. Since it's summer, I can't confirm or deny what I read about end caps coming off as snow and ice accumulate on the wiper. br /I will find out in couple of months. br /If you decide to buy, do it here at Amazon. Rain-x states "allow 2-4 weeks for delivery". I canceled their order after 7 weeks; wipers from Amazon arrived after 3 days. And it was a lot cheaper too. br /Overall this is decent wiper, I'll use it from now on. br /

They clean significantly better than my old (new) wipers and I was amazed at how quiet they are - no noise! I got a pair for my wife who also loves them. Great product!

35 plus years of driving and I finally find a replacement wiper that actually works. Not only do they work, they work so well that my wife thanks me every time she has to go someplace. Whether its raining or she just needs to clean the windshield...she hasn't been happier with results than with these wipers. You can't go wrong with these...and although the price may be on the high side I'm sure you'll be happy with them.
 Great for rain, not for snow. February 12, 2008

These wipers are fantastic in the rain, especially when brand new. They do not squeak or smear while removing all water from your windshield. br / br /In the snow, they are not that bad, if you park your car in a garage anyway. The problem with these blades is that they do not hold up well in cold weather, especially when coated with snow and ice. br / br /I've had these blades on my Blazer for about 7 months, and during the fall they were great. Once the bad weather started to come (Buffalo, NY) the snow and ice began to build up on the blades while parked outside. The design of these blades includes plastic end caps that keep the main blade strip from moving. But when water has collected inside the cap and it freezes, the expanded ice loosens the cap and it eventually falls off. After that, the blade will slowly ease its way out from the holder slot. If you do not slide it back right away (every day or during the drive) it will ruin the blade when it wipes. This results in the wiper not being able to get a clean wipe in thick snows or sleet on both strokes. I regularly get a big wet icy patch in the middle of my windshield due to this. br / br /I have been looking for the perfect winter wipers for a long time, and these are not them.
