Rain-X Latitude Wipers

Post by BlueCrush »

Just pick up a pair from Pep Boys with their buy one get one free promotion. Mine were the original blades and were 3+ years old.Driver's Side: 21" = $17.99Psssenger's Side: 18" = $16.99 (free after mail-in rebate)These are awesome! They are similar to the Reflex style wipers. Just thought I would pass it on if anyone else was needing to replace their's as well.Reviews:http://www.canadiandriver.com/...e.htmh ... 217Website: http://www.rainx.com/

Does anyone know how long these last compared to typical wiper's that need to be replaced when the season changes?

I have some brand of "reflex" wipers and love them too!! I've had them like 3 or 4 months so far and they still work great. the standard ones for me would only last 3 months before crapping out.

I am tempted to pick up a pair, but paying $20 for blades seems like a lot of money unless they last 10-12 months

They should also last a year at least, many people had the reflex ones go for 2 years or more

now I'm convinced! Not having to change wiper blades every season is a good enough reason for me!

Am I the only one who doesn't like these? Bought the Rain X from wallyworld at the beginning of the winter season and I actually think they make less contact than the factory ones did. Had another brand of 'reflex' blade on the Grand Prix, and they worked fine. I thought it was the Vibe winshield, but apparently not, with others having so much success...
