I've had the Icons on for a while with no issues. Also have them on my wife's Prius and plan on putting them on the wife's Miata when the stock ones go out.

I work at Autozone, we sell the Rain X Latitudes the most, but something people dont realize is that direct sun light will fade ANYTHING and cause it to deteriorate. They sell a cleaner you can wipe down the blade once every two weeks and it will prolong the life of the blade greatly. Bosch Icons also work well, but there again, a little maintenance goes a long way.

Piaa wipers are probably the best there are. The wires on my girls accord are 4 years old (about 30k miles) and still work better than the pieces of crap that came on my 11' civic.

We install alot of rainx and cheap no name blades at the dealership I work at. It seems that the rainx ones work better for a little while, but either needs replacing at least once a year.

Sorry to jack on this thread but I hear many have used RainX Latitude and have received good results. I came across a local shop that's selling the RainX Latitude for 2/3 of the retail price. They didn't have a manual to check the sizes, but I just checked online and they say the Driver Side is a 16", and the Passenger Side a 20". I compared the OEM wiper blades with the RainX and they don't match up. Is this okay? On my S, the Passenger and Driver wiper blades are the same size. Could someone confirm that with RainX Latitude Wiper Blades, the Driver side is 16", and the Passenger side is 20". It says this online. But again I bought my S used, the former owner may have just purchased two 20" wiper blades versus the 16 (Driver) and 20" (Passenger). TYIA!!

I use two p/s Lexus ES350 wipers. They work perfectly and are easy/ cheap to replace the insert when they start going bad.

Bumping this thread to find out what sizes you guys use. I have rainx latitude blades in the recommended sizes but the passenger side is absurdly too large. My windshield has two spots that the blares miss. They wipe ok but I'm not happy with them. So I'm just going to get something cheaper soon but what sizes should i get?

I run the Bosch icons and am very happy

Make sure you get the right one for the passenger side. Either a or b I forgot. I had to bend it a tad more to get the correct curve of the windshield. Also if you can clean the wiper blades every other full up they will last a long time. 3 years and running
