What do you guys use for wiper blades? I go through them about every 3 months. Unfortunatly I don't have a garage to keep my Lightning parked in, so it stays outside unless there is a threat of hail. For the most part, it's a daily driver as well. The hot sun in the summer bakes the rubber until it cracks. Winter, they crack from teh cold. What is the best blade to use that will last? Also, I believe they are 20" factory size, IIRC. Looks to me like a 22" would fit just fine and cover the windshield a little more. Opinions?

 

I have rain X latitudes on the L, plus are other two vehicles, work great.

 

I bought the 15 dollar each blades... not sure what they were, they were just more money. All I know is that they worked better than the new stock wipers. Worked a WHOLE lot better.

 

i use anco, tried BOSCH they are POS!! DONT LAST 4 SH%%T!!

 

Get these Valeo Blades. They are absolutely the best wiper blade I have ever used.

I think they are buy one get one free.

 

Use 22" blades.
They reach more and fit fine.
Use Rain-X and you will rarely use wipers anyway

 

These are the best IMO. Pricey but well worth it after having them on both ny 2001 L and my 1997 F150 XLT for a year or so now. I bought mine at Advanced.

+1 on these. They are a bit expensive but work very well on my L

 

20" Bosch icon and also use rain-x

 

I just put a set of 20 inch RainX blades on, and also used RainX on the windshield. Big difference from stock!!!

I just installed the ICON blades this week. I'm never going back!

 

rainx blades. bosch was only good for the first wipe for me.

 

Cheap pair of Anco blades and Rain X all the time.

Most of the time I don't even have to use my blades because of the Rain X.
