    Best Wiper Blade Brand???

    Pretty lame question ... but inquiring minds want to know.

    I've had pretty rotten luck the past few years with wiper blades. Can anyone recommend any that fit well and last?

    I just put RainX blades on the Proton. They seem to fit well but only time will tell how they last. The previous ones (can't remember the brand) would not stay on.

    I have tried them all and the anco ones i get at wal-mart work the best,they fit the glass great and the rails are strong and sturdy and they glide on the glass well.

    i just put the rainx latitude blades.

    they work well in the down pours we get every afternoon down here.

    several of my friends swear by them.

    I've got the RainX blades on and they work fine for me. The only problem I have is when I actually use RainX. It makes the blades stick and chatter...

    I use the bosch icon wiper blades.. I think they are the best. I ran an icon on the driver's side and a micro edge excel on the pass side, and the icons are wiping better longer... so I'm going with both icons next time

    Bosch Icons are the shizelnitz! I always had the wiper hop and noise when there wasn't enough rain to run the wipers, but enough that it was obstructing my view. These blades don't hop, skip (or jump), they swipe the windshield totally clean and I couldn't recommend them more if I were paid to do so (which I AM NOT). They look a little odd when you first put them on, because they hug the windshield more so than regular blades, but they are the best wiper blades I've had on any vehicle I've owned. They've been on the VX for about 18 months - still work like the day I installed them - not cheap (at $40), but worth every penny!

    What is this "rain" you speak of? Los Angelinos do not understand.

    I know, right

    I got the PIAA blades from Weathertech and they work great...

    I love these as well.... hardly any streaking or gaps. I did also buy the Anco brand that look alot like the Bosch and they worked good, but didn't last as long.

    i just put the anco frameless wipers (called anco contour) on my truck cause i got them at work 20% off.. they work really well to wisk water away.. but i noticed that on the way back down, they slash water 3-4 inches back into the field of vision in the center where they connect to the wiper arms
