I was sick and tired of the crap Fomoco wipers. I bought some rain-x latitude wipers and so far Im impressed. The look alot better and used them with some windshield washer and cleaned it dry with no streaks, something I havnt seen in a while.

Although not cheap I highly recommend them.

We have those on the Pilot and the Suburban they work really well on the chevrolet but on the Honda they're aweful, they like smear the water rather than wipe it away... Haven't bought them for my expedition yet though. My current ones squeak and it drives me nuts, so it probably wont be long untill I buy a pair.

Yeah I read mixed reviews too but decided to buy them. Im wondering if they work better when its a direct replacement and you dont have to use any of their brackets.

Brackets? Do you mean those little plastic joints that you have to rip off and put the bigger one on?

I put a set on last weekend, and the only complaint, if you can really call it that, is for some reason the passenger side doesn't sit all the way down, so there is like 2 square inches at the bottom of the wiper sweep that don't get wiped. Aside from this VERY small glitch, they're some of the best wipers I've ran on it.

Yeah but on the expy you dont have to take any off, they bolt right on
