Best Wiper Blade Brand???

[don moore]

I use the rubber kind ....I think they are black also......it rains here alot...new one every year....just because

[johnnyapollo]

I've used silblades in the past then switched to the PIAA - those lasted just short of 2 years (had the silblades on over 4). I just ordered a new set of silblades (this time I tried the gold color - I think it's closer to the proton's color - the yellow is too light). I'm looking forward to using them again.

I have PIAA's on my BeeVenom along with rain-X coating and they've been great for three years now. No complaints whatsoever.

Well i have to say ...Here in oregon were it rains sometimes.....hehe
I picked up a set of " Michelin Optimum "blades...I like the look and they are the best so far..very easy to install and they wipe so smooth and clear..

What about winter blades? Anyone have better or worse experiences with certain brands when the snow flies? I hate when the wipers freeze to the windshield overnight or when ice builds up going down the road!

You won't have a problem with pure silicon blades.

i just bought michellin ones for like 16 dollars each and i cant get the driver side one off to put the new ones but they work the same as the ones i had before can anyone tell me how to take the drivers side windshield wiper off please! i know it sounds stupid but i have tried everything and i just cant get it off

[don moore]

should be the same as the pass..side.
sometimes you have to press in the old clip to remove it..

Using new Silblade "Flexblades" and I like them a lot. Old standard Silblades lasted about 4 years.

I just purchased the Rain-X latitude blades for $7 a piece - $13 off sale. Have not installed yet so I do not know how they perform.

yup Rain-X ftw!!!

[JHarris1385]

Update the RAIN-X latitudes are AWESOME.

[tom4bren]

Yup - the Rain-X worked good for almost a year ... but just noticed the other day that the passenger side rubber tore almost 2 inches.

Guess I'd better start googling PIAA.

Pepino - I don't have any trouble getting my drivers side off, as a matter of fact it falls off everytime I lift the wiper away from the windshield. Maybe PO did have troubles & bent it in the past???

I used to be a big fan of Valeo wipers, but that's all over. These are the ones that replace the lattice-work of hinged arms on a normal wiper with a blade reinforced with strips of spring steel to keep them on the glass.

I found that the plastic mounts get brittle in the winter and fall apart. Bosch came out with a similar design, but I haven't tried them out yet.

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

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.
