Whats everyone using for wiper blade replacements currently ?? South Florida heat seems to damage blades over time and lucky to get a full year out of them. I see Invisible Glass now makes some ... Valeo .... PIAA .... Bosch ... ???
 
I'm trying the Rain-X Latitude this season. I really enjoy driving around in the snow so vision is key, well I just like the snow.
 
go with bosch. there awesome ! 20 bucks each not really cheap but way worth it .. oh and dont go with the frameless ones . the ones with a frame are just as good. i forgot what bosch ones i have but i upgraded for a couple bucks more to the frameless thinking they would be btter but there not . so the style right before the framelss are the ones to get.

I've been using them on all my cars and truck for two years now and like them better than the Bosch ones they replaced. They're not cheap and usually see for $17+ each.

:iagree:
 
I'm using Rain-X Weatherbeaters. Best wiper blades I've ever bought - had this pair on since January - been debating replacing them before winter, but don't really see the need yet. Might just treat 'em with 303 wiper treatment and keep them for now.

silblade. i've been using them since early 2008 on my ms3. no signs of wear whatsoever.

100% silicone, not a hybrid like the PIAA.

the next choice of mine would be PIAA but they are not as durable as the silblade. silblade is so durable they don't even offer refills ; )
 
Really annoying - nobody seems to make blade that fits 2008 Audi A6 :mad:
 
Currently using Trico Neoform on both cars and so far it's been a year and they are still good. Will buy again.
 
Personally, I prefer the stock ones from the dealership over Rain-X, Valeo, etc...They just fit better, easier to install, and don't protrude the wiper arm as much. Stock aren't that much more expensive, plus dealerships often have rebates and coupons. I'm done with aftermarket blades.
 
I have the frameless from Sil Blade . They are expensive but are silicon & have a 5 year warrranty! I think about $30 each shipped.

They worked great in my friends new mustang last 2yrs!! Which is why i decided to try them..... I bought a set of Good Years from Costco as well for my Bravada to compare!!

OT can you PM the info on those Sil Blades please sir. $30 isnt bad if you have a 5yr warrenty! I usually end having to replace mine every other yr if not every other yr!!
 
I will second Rain X Latitudes. I do replace my blades about every 6 months to be sure.
 
I hate the Rain-X ones... they were streaky on my windshields (both have Aquapel applied). I'm using Bosch Evolution blades on my truck, and Bosch MicroEdge Excel+ on the SUV.

I too like my stock ones BUT they are not cheap ($60+). Luckily I don't need to replace them yet.
