Customer Reviews

Work Great but Look Aweful
These wipers work very well. The problem is the wiper arm mounting mechanism. The design of these wipers places the mount above the blade which causes my wiper arm to sit 1"-2" above the windshield. I bought these for both an Acura and a Ford Expedition and it's noticeable on both. I can tolerate it on the Expedition because the driving position is more upright and the windshield is more verticle. The Acura that has a more slanted windshield i found it unacceptable and returned them. I found that the very bottom of my forward vision that is usually limited by the hood-line was raised up by the wiper arm. Also on all of the vehicles, the wiper blade mount is a large solid piece of plastic that I feel is too noticeable. With a traditional wiper blade, the mount is "inside" the blade frame and the wiper arms sit much lower. YMMV...

wipe wipe
decent wipers. got them with the [...] rebate so it was an awsome deal. only real complaint...the mounting bracket is really bulky compared to the bosch ones these are replacing. just hoping they last as long as the bosch units.

Terrible product, fails to wipe windshield!
Very disappointing, I ordered these thinking they would be better than the cheap blades I usually buy, I was wrong. Both of these blades lose contact with the windshield at 4" to the left and right of each edge on my simple, flat, basic windshield.
