Re: (Kincaid)

I understand... I was just saying that the correct sizes are available and work great with the neoforms...don't have to go shorter to get them to work.

Re: (jake75)

Keep us posted on how the rainx latitudes (I'm assuming they're latitudes) work. I've heard very mixed reviews on them...seem to be hit or miss. Keep us posted! Thanks!!

I'm not a big fan of the silicone wipers because I don't like how the wiper sweep area beads up and the area around it doesn't. I now use aquapel glass treatment which is like rainx treatment except it doesn't create haze and also it lasts 6 months per application. My whole windshield beads up now a...

Re: GOOD wiper blades (~MRVIBE2006~)

I switched from bosch icons to trico neoform beam blades. imo they perform slightly better, are super quiet and are less expensive. With the rebates right now, its a no brainer.

Re: Vibe wiper blades (Whelan)

My first set last me 2 years - I love brand new, smooth windshield glass!! Unfortunately I tailgate to my glass gets pitted over time.If you shop around they're not that expensive. Of course they're not a $10 set but you're looking at about $25 shipped on sale/rebate.

Vibe wiper blades

Last fall I upgraded my wipers on my 2007 Vibe to the newer-style framless Trico NeoForm Beam Blades that have a teflon coating. I thought I'd report my review. They wipe clean and are very quiet (probably because of the teflon). Performed well in fall and winter (in wisconsin) and so far so good in...

This is on another string but I thought I'd add it here too... There is an alternative to going to the dealer for a replacement rear blade on the Pontiac Vibe. It may first appear that the blade and arm are one piece but if you take a look, you'll see the wiper blade can be replaced and its actually...

Re: (rebbierae)

Comes with complete removal and installation instructions. I stumbled accross the trico exact fit rear blade when I was shopping for front wipers. I went with wipers123 online and got the trico neoform beam blades on the front and the trico exact fit rear on the back.
