Bomb wiper blades, FOR THOSE THAT ACCEPT NO LESS.

[silentstyle1]

I've got the rain-x Latitude Bracketless wipers, they are by far the best wipers i've ever had, no streaks or anything.

[s13 @ fullboost]

I have those wipers I love them get them there great

[DaPCWiz]

yup I have latitudes too.... have lasted me thru the winter.... def had em over 6 months and still just about as good as when I bought em. Cleanest sweeps of any blades I've bought. Tempted to try to silicone stuff when these die tho..

[a_ahmed]

strange, my rain-x lasted only a month Cost an arm and a leg and did not last

I've tried normal rain-X and rain-X latitude. The normal ones worked pretty well but didn't really last very long. The latitude had a cleaner sweep and have lasted me quite some time...

[opponheimer]

The ones at walmart are real good.

yep, same type, good stuff.

Here's what I was talking about:



See how it's an open bracket? the arms are exposed at the edge. nothing major, but look how bosch designs theirs:


has a cover for a cleaner look. You guys might not think it's much, but it's a little detail you'll notice..

silicone lubricant im assuming, kinda like wd-40

[GabeS14]

Bosch..are the best Ive tried, they cost like $16 each blade but work magic for the last whole year..and still work fine

[S14Josh]

Last time i bought wipers i only got to use them once.

It never rains here.

My wipers get hard and crusty after a month of driving in the summer. 120+ degree weather doesnt help much i guess.

[ayuaddict]

yea i think windshield wipers are ugly, so i dont have any on my car.

thanks for the info on rainx, ppg aquapel, and waxing windows.

i suppose ill try them out.

Anyone knows the different between the BOSCH ION & the Evolution? It looks the same to me...

EVOLUTION:

• Dual precision-tensioned steel springs help create tension memory, applying uniform pressure along the entire blade length
• Aerodynamic wind spoiler creates downforce, preventing blade lift-off
• Graphite-treated wiping edge
• Natural rubber blade for clean, consistant wipe

ICON:

• Dual precision-tensioned steel springs help create tension memory, applying uniform pressure along the entire blade length
• Aerodynamic wind spoiler creates downforce, preventing blade lift-off
• Exclusive FX dual-rubber-technology flex element resists ozone damage and hardening
• Exclusive weather shield connector system is pre-installed to protect arm connection from snow/ice build-up
• Smooth, quiet operation with 20% longer performance life vs. other premium wiper blades

The evolution has the weather shield connector system as well, i'm guessing the only difference is the actual rubber material, ICON lists it as "dual rubber technology" but the evolution lists natural rubber with a graphite treated edge.. I'm willing to bet they're mostly the same.

[G-Force]

if that's true, then the evo's a better choice since it has that 2 for 1 offer. thanks, will be getting a set soon.

Rain-X for me.

Yup, cheapo blades and rain-x does the trick even in severe down pours. exterior rubber doesn't last long in AZ so it doesn't pay to buy $20 wiper blades every year for the 3 days it might actually rain.

[Firestorm]

i had those boschs on my old S13. i bought them a couple of weeks before i had to sell it, so i tried to fit them on the 180 but as it seems the 240 ones only work on LHD cars...sucks

but while i had them, they were awesome. no squeaking, wipes very well and the annoying +140 kph wiper liftoff didn't occur anymore

[SoSideways]

Guess I'll give these things a try, since it's $15 for two basically.

They'll probably sit in the garage until my current ones take a shit... whenever that is.e

[s14_legend]

go with PIAA's with silicone blades if you got the cash....bang for the buck....had them for two years now....still work like they were new out of the box, remember you get what you pay for....

[s13pignose]

I got the michelin one pieces, and I'm not that happy with em..but my windshield is a lil pitted. Might need to tray the steel wool trick.

[burnsauto]

i have the bosch icons on my car, they squeak like hell. think its my car, or the blades?

[jackjack]

i actually wanted to give these a try for the hell of it. friend of mine swears by them. we'll see.

I have the ICONs without a problem. Try to clean your windshield with rain-x or something.

yeah, i rock the piaa silicones... they were pretty expensive, but living in vancovuer bc, we need good wipers.. (more rain than seattle.) i used to have the michelin's before, which were good, but im sure these piaas well last way longer. plus i like the oldschool steel look.

Use rubbing alchohol on the rubbers of wipers.

[Ian]

i need to get these...rain-x makes my stickers on my windshield look goofy

[G-Force]

Usually ships within 2 to 4 weeks.

this deal sucks now...too close to the june 15 postmark for the rebate.

[drifter808]

i just bought these about 2 weeks ago and have never been happier with wiper blades. definently worth the money.

[94cc0rd]

can anybody send me the rebate form? I tried clicking the link posted by the OP and the link on amazon and the file is damaged and won't open..
