I'm on the fence about these blades as well. For the price and warranty I think they only need to be "OK and last a couple years" to get your money's worth. I put a set on the truck and car. The ones on the car squawk when there's not a lot of moisture and streak as much as any other blade I've tried. The set on the truck are ok, I get some streaking at times, other than that they are just working wiper blades. Definitely not the silver bullet of wiper blades in my opinion, your mileage may vary, lots of people love em.

Further, I *did* have a warranty issue with one set (on my old KR) (one had developed a small 'gap' on the blade and thus, made the 'rainbow shape' on every wipe pass -- called them and, within a two days, I had a replacement). NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
Fantastic service and a great product... most people look for this when it comes to a product.... I'm no different and, because of my experience with them, I'll yell it from atop the mountain... they're good!

The 5 year warranty is definitely a value add. My flexblades haven't been tested very hard, but I will have that opportunity this weekend.

Haven't had any problem with my 22" flexblades. Been -10 or below several times, still work great. The longer blades to have less pressure at the end of the blade though but its something I can live with.
