In case any of you were thinking about the Rain-X latitude wiper blades, but couldn't get past the price, I just bought a set and they are AWESOME!!!! I've tried many brands including the Bosch Icon and these are by fat the best I've ever used. The're pricey but well worth the money.

*Contoured design applies even pressure along the entire length of the wiper blade.
*Specially blended graphite coated rubber blade delivers the ultimate smooth, clean, chatter-free wipe.
*Built in aerodynamic spoiler significantly reduces drag, noise and wind lift.
*Ice resistant frame

 

I have a set I bought about a month ago for $8 each and I like them better than any I have used so far on this truck....even better than the expensive PIAA silicones.
Now I will see how they hold up to justify the cost. If you buy cheap blades frequently, it all comes out the same or maybe you spend more.

 

Ice resistant, im liking that. I was going to pick up some Icons but you like these better.

 

I'm on year 5 or 6 with my Silblades. They're still just about as perfect as they were on day one.

 

I have the Bosch Icons and they haven't impressed me too much. Sure their better than reg but their more expensive than the Rain-X ones still I believe but the Icons still leave some streaking. Can't be that hard to make a windsheld wiper, jeez.

 

And I thought I was the only one who had these on for that long .

 

i have the rain-x latitude also but i think i need new wiper arms cause they still streak! and i know i need a new drivers wiper cause the end of the wiper part is coming off. well they are 1 year old...

 

i had some rain x blades a few years ago on my car and they did work great. but right now i have the bosch icons on my truck just because i like the way they look but they really arent that great of a wiper blade. maybe i just need some rain x on my windshield.

 

The rain x are on sale at Pep Boys right now buy 1 get 1 free with mail in rebate.

 

I bought a set of Rain X blades at Advanced Auto last week, and they were giving 1 gallon of Rain X windshield wiper fluid when you bought the blades.

 

I have the rain-x on my truck and really like them. They do a great job without streaks. They have only been on since fall so not sure how long they will last.

 

I agree with this post. I put them on all wipers including my rear wiper. Sometime I use a little wipe of Armor All on the blades to restore them to near original flexibility.

 

man i got my truck's annual inspection and they made me throw away my latitude wpers cause they needed replacing! so now im back to factory wipers but these dont streak!n :0

 

I had a set of Bosch Excels and they were sctratcing the windshield, one year old. I just bought a set of Rain-X. $20, but they are very smooth. Never seen the Silblades around here.

 

I'd like to find out who carries them in my area. I'm intrigued!

They sell them on ebay.
