BEST WIPER BLADES

You better not be, punk



They clear the windshield a lot better in all weather, IMO

I was in my friend's Tacoma and he still has 17" blades on his, and I could tell just by the dirty outlines how much less the 17s clear. In fact it felt a bit claustrophobic looking through his windshield after sizing up on mine.

 

Just watch my sig a few more times and all will be better.

 

Madjik - it's not like you guys get any snow in CO so i'm totally going to disregard your (first-hand) knowledge. /sarcasm

Well, i ordered from EZwipers on Friday and they arrived on Monday.

Anco Contours come in 17's and 19s. i'm not sure what i could run to get an 18 in there. but ah well. maybe come spring time i'll run a single 19 with a 17 passenger for S&G's.

*Edit - sonofabitch, i was thinking of the Winter blades... and eff - bought two 17s because the site doesn't offer 'choose your size' just 'choose your vehicle' EFF! I'd send 'em back, but for the price, i'd rather just run these for a year, and if they do awesome, i'll bump to 18's next time. ezwipers has free shipping both ways...

 

Rain-x Lattitudes!

 

Oh the memories. Madjik tried telling me the 19" cleared less windshield area.

 

Huh, whatever Bosch blades (frame style, not aero/blade) measures at 16.5" The Anco Contours measure at a true 17" ... I'm lazy, sticking with the 17's. Pic of the difference in the next few days.

 

So far you're spot on re: the past two winters

 

lol

I just said that the remaining arc looks larger. Made you go measure in the snow/cold too

 

17" Siliblade

 

Necrobump

Just bought some Trico Onyx blades. I'll see how well they do.

I just realized the Icons I replaced today are about 3 years old.

 

Not thrilled with my Rain-X latitudes. They don't quite completely touch the glass and leave streaks. They look fantastic though! However, I'll be purchasing something different when these wear out.

 

Holy thread resurrection...... I just ordered a set of Invisiglass Silicone blades off their website. $15 for a silicone blade. I'll give it a try.

 

They might fall apart first.

 

I run Anco Winter blades 30-22 left & 30-20 right in the winter and Rain X after the ice and snow leaves Colorado

 

BTW the blades are good just their connectors suck!

 

Well, winter is nearly over in Edmonton and my wipers are starting to fail. What are some excellent wipers that can deal with snow in the winter? I am planning to buy them and put them on in the fall and deal with the current ones over the summer and use RainX washer fluid.

 

I didn't like how quick Rain-X wipers fell apart, so now I'm running Tricos. They seem to be doing well.

 

That's awesome!

I'm gonna have to try the 19/18 since I'm about due for a new pair.


I've noticed the wipers have a longer 'effective' life when I use the rain-x water repellent spray/cleaner on my windows.

 

Have the Bosch wiper blades and they are working great so far.

 

As a teenager I used Rain-X water repellent all the time but found out that back then the Rain-X would eat away at the blades and make them wear out faster. About a year ago I bought the Bosch wiper blades, they were fine till lately the streaks were getting annoying. So this time I decided to try the Rain-X Latitude, they installed in about 2 seconds. First impression as I sat in the truck was man those wipers are tall where they connect to the arm, the Bosch were a nice low profile. After driving for a couple days I noticed the new Rain-X Latitude is making the rain bead up like the old days, come to find out that they did coat the blades with water repellant.

+1 for Rain-X Latitude
