Customer Reviews

Not Quite...
When I received these wipers I was pretty excited about the design. They are basically a sturdy curved flexible one-piece body with a graphite rubber wiper blade attached. They curve that is build-in seems to be a good solution to replacing all of the little metal springy parts that make up a conventional wiper - fewer parts to catch ice or snow.

I installed these on my '03 Tundra and found that when the curve of the wiper was pushed into the curve of my windshield it failed for about 1.5" of wiper on the far right of the passenger window wiper. This small portion just floated over the window - in some places wiping - in most places just skimming the water, not really touching the window.. This was also happening to a lesser degree on the driver's side. The result is unsatisfactory, as the missed water tends to cause running before the wiper cycles again. I switched sides and got the same results.

I am going to try to intentionally deform the wiper end that is not contacting the window but I'm afraid the verdict is in for me. These may work just fine for your vehicle but '03 Tundra owners, consider yourselves warned.

Swipe and a miss...
What a disappointment! I purchased the Rain-x "Latitude" wiper blade at a retailer and immediately replaced an old conventional blade on my '99 Bonneville. The blade left a 3+ inch swath unwiped across my warm windshield while engaged the easiest of tasks; wiping away washer fluid. I flexed the blade a bit to "loosen it up" and it did it again...identically Despite the fact that I was pretty cold, I removed the product from my car, repackaged it, and returned it for my money back.

How ironic that this new, high tech wiper blade with its 2X price tag and fussy plastic blade guard would be the single worst wiper product I ever purchased.

Rain-X Wiper Blades
I purchased the blades about 2 months ago, and so far I am very pleased with them. I live in the northeast where the winters are not the greatest. Recently I left work after a day of snow, sleet, freezing rain,you name it. When I was cleaning off my windshield,I was plesantly surprised how easily the ice came off the wipers. Usually the ice sticks to the metal blades,and is difficult to remove. With the Rain-X wipers ,because they are not metal, the ice just flaked off easily and worked great all the way home.
