Rain-X
 

Owner's Manual for 2007 F150, page 318:

"DO NOT USE ANY SPECIAL WASHER FLUID SUCH AS WINDSHIELD WATER REPELLENT TYPE FLUID OR BUG WASH. THEY MAY CAUSE SQUEAKING, CHATTER NOISE, STREAKING, AND SMEARING."

:lol: Must have not gotten a sponsorship deal.

Haha... I remember when I was picking up one of my new GMC trucks at the dealer, the saleman that sold me the truck went through the whole shpeel about the truck and what products to get and not to get. He started telling me I needed to go to the dealer to buy my windshield wiper fluid because only that windshnield wiper fluid was recommended. I was LMAO and told him to save it and give me my damn keys so I could get the hell outta there.

I Have OEM
 

Under the bumper to bumper warranty, my dealer installs new wipers whenever I want. I use my wipers several times a day. The blades see more wear & tear than the average person who waits for the rain to fall. I'm constantly spaying washer fluid to remove dirt, grime, milkshakes, bird poop, et cetera. In less than a year, they've already given me several new sets of wipers.

Any of you guys with the Valeos have a chance to try them on snow yet? How did they work?

Not much snow where I live, only 4 inches last year but they did fine.

No snow yet for me either, but they have worked great on water so far. They are nice.

22" Bosch Icons here :thumbsup:

got em on the fiancés H2, My Fathers Ram 3500, and his Tahoe wouldn't get anything else

:beers:

just bought some bosch icons at autozone today...buy one get one free mail in rebate
so....i will be getting a check back for like 20 bucks....$20 bucks for 2 great wipers...now that a deal

I think I'm going with the Valeo's from Tire Rack! :thumbsup:

Good choice I just bought my second pair when I ordered my Powerslots. They are still buy one get one free!

BTW my Valeos' were just beginning to show signs of wear after a years use.

I just picked up some Bosch Icons from Autozone as well....although I didn't see anything about a rebate! :( I went with 22" for the driver side and 21" for the passenger. I really like them. Anyone know what kind of warranty comes with them? I like the look of a frame less blade.

On year 3 or 4 or 5 or something on my Silblades.... A+ still! :)

Ha Ha you don't even know! :lol:

Direct sunlight has got to be the main culprit of wiper blade failure, my wife's car sits in the garage or under a shade all day and still has the same crappy oem blades on it after 5 years and they still work great.

I've got the Bosch Icons on my work truck which never sits in the garage and I'm going on two years with no issues, great blades just too bad they are so high priced.

Got the 22" Rain X blades on my personal truck which sits inside the garage all of the time and so far no problems but I have only had them on for about 4 or 5 months. Like others have mentioned, RainX windshield treatment helps allot.
