    what are your favorite wiper blades. I just want some that last a decent amount of time and perform. I know weather and such effects them alot but I figured I'd get some thoughts since normally I just get cheepies.

    I've been using the same Bosch Icon's for the last 4 years and they still wipe the windshield clean!

    wow i really like those.

    but i've been using rain-x blades. i need some actual rain-x to treat my windshield with because when it rains, sure it clears it off but it doesn't last long. we have rain-x on our other vehicles and man what a difference.

    but if not, rain-x latitudes are good stuff. i just didn't buy them for the prix yet. and i won't for the GT. not gonna keep her around much longer...hopefully

    quick tip, if your in a pinch, you can fold up a paper towel and wet a small area with brake fluid, and wipe the blades, the brake fluid removes the old dried up rubber and brings them back to life.

    you can get windshield wiper fluid with rain-X. It doesnt work as well as applying it yourself but it works decent

    I seem to recall a thread at GPONA in which most people seemed to ever-so-slightly prefer Bosch Icons to Rain-X Latitudes.

    Bosch Icons on mine. By far the best wiper blades I've ever had. Caught them on sale at Advance for I think $33 out the door.

    i have always had good luck with the bracket-less design. try some bosch icons and see for yourself. they are better than the rain-x ones IMO.

    I've ran Bosch for the last 5 years. Love them. I put a new set on about every 2 years. They last forever. Expensive but they work quite well.
