I need to replace my wiper blades for my 07. They don't seem to sell the inserts anymore! I tried the ANCO blades and they looked terrible, way too bulky! What is everyone else doing?

 

Bosch Icon.

 

I put on the Rain-x wiper blades almost a year ago and they are still good. I've tried the cheapos from wally world and had to replace the blades about every two to three months.

 

bosch icon or rain-x latitudes...inserts..really?! wipers are so cheap.

 

I don't think anyone makes refillable blades any more.

They have these at autozone, and O'Reileys and such about 20 bucks a set... look fabulous, small footprint, and performance is excellent... best wipers I've had....

Bosch Icon... RainX also makes some like this...

I found that these one-piece blades work wonderfully... and when the other frame-type blades would fail at high speeds... these consistently work well...

good luck!

 

I like the Rain-X Latitudes as well. I replaced the 2-year old stockers with them and like the performance at highway speeds (the airfoil keeps them planted on the windshield). I don't use my wipers much since I use Rain-X on the windshield, but when I need the wipers, I want them to work!

 

My experience with the rain-x latitudes is that they want to lift off the windshield...not much but worth mentioning. They still work decent but I don't think they are worth the extra money.

Look at the Valeo ultimate wipers. You can find them on tire rack for a buy one get one free($20+shipping+tax) or try ebay($9.99 each for gen2's free shipping). I've tried several brands and so far I like the Valeo's the best. I have not tried them on the truck yet but will be soon. They usually last a year to 1.5 years on the wifes car.

I've tried the below wipers

Rain x latitudes(decent...too pricey)
PIAA's (good but didn't last long enough for the price)
Silblades (mixed results...1 pair good other pair garbage..lasted about 1 year)
Standard Bocsh (a good standard wiper)
Tripledge(junk)
Valeo Ultimates (good wiper at a decent price depending where you get them)

 

Lift off the windshield! How fast were you going?!! I routinely drive 75-80mph down the turnpikes and have never had the slightest bit of "lifting" occur with the Rain-x's, heck I really didn't have an issue with the stockers either.

 

Rain-X Latitudes! Over a year old and still wipe like new!

 

Not going fast and I don't have a bug shield either which some times causes problems Honestly I don't know what's up with them cause the passenger side wiper is starting to smear some and they are only around 3 months old. Maybe my set isn't up to par or something since there's a lot of people that give them good reviews. Oh well I think I'm going to stick with Valeos from now on anyway.

I agree the stock wipes were pretty good. They were wiping great at 2 years old until the rubber ripped on one of them.

 

Bosch Icons on both trucks.

 

Yup, my stockers were fine except the ice/snow cycles during this last winter caused the blade to start tearing.
