    that is correct, but as I stated I have had experiences with simular type. I never put down these exact blades just the whole style of them.

    And I never will unless they come with the car.

    everyone's entitled to their opinion, but im speaking from experience. I never would think OEM stuff would be better than performance aftermarket in some cases?

    My moms expedition has bosch icons, and they've been there for at least two years, probably more. My Mustang had them for 3 years, but I never used them, cause it sat in the garage. My stock ones on my tacoma are skipping, and cleaning them and the windsheild isn't correcting the issue. I'll rock them as long as I can stand it, and hopefully they will last thru the winter.

    I bought the Rain-X Latitudes about 6 months ago. I only bought them cuz I figured cleaning the ice off of them would be easier than cleaning ice out of the frame of the stock wipers. They definitely collect as much ice as the stock blades, but easier to get off. They actually streak a lot more than the stock wiper blades too. I had no streaking with stock. The other day on the highway one of the Rain-X blades fell apart.

    The whole passenger side streaks! This is the salt left behind after the water dried up!

    This is where the blade fell apart while I was driving!

    For now I am back to stock, but next I-beam style blades I buy won't be Rain-X.

    My husband and I have RainX wipers - on my tacoma and on his MDX.

    For some reason...he hates them on his MDX and he's not impressed. We use RainX also (not all that regularly). I haven't had problems with mine on the tacoma. For some reason, on his MDX windshield...they've been streaky.

    Just wipe on some Rain-X and you don't need your wipers. :):)
