Rain-X Latitude wiper blades (review)

[Racenut]

I put on the BOSCH ICON blades back in October and they are great.

Here in southern NM you go thru blades about every 6 months due to the heat and lack of humidity, but these blades still work like NEW!

No smearing, squaling, or jumping around on the glass at all, and a beautiful clean wipe every time I LOVE THEM!!!!

Also a hint for the 1st gen guys ( not sure about the newer gens ) EVEN THOU THEY CALL FOR A 20" BLADE YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIT A 24" BLADE that will wipe the entire window. It barley clears on the passanger side when the blade is in the resting position by about 1/2" or so but these newer one piece blades work wonderful.

Used to use Icons, but would get inconsistent performance with them. Sometimes, they'd last most of the year, where as the next pair would only last a couple of months.

I just switched to the Michelin one piece ones (forget the name). Cost a few bucks less, and seem to have the same performance. Granted, I don't really use my wipers all that often, since the Rain X washer fluid takes car of most water as long as I'm going >35 mph.

As far as the bigger wipers, I'm running 21" right how, though I might consider going 22" (2" bigger than called for). The only thing that sketches me out is that the bigger wipers will cause more drag, overexerting the wiper motor.
