Default The Official wiper blades thread

But no seriously....

My wipers are streaking like crazy and it looks horrible when it rains. Ive seen these RainX wipers and was wondering what everybody thinks about them. Should I just stick with OEM or are the rainX ones really worth it?

haha..

They way I see it, I have to change my wipers once a year no matter what brand I buy. I usually just buy what's cheapest.

I have the rainx wiper and absolutely love them, they are a bit expensive but worth every penny.

So far the RainX ones are the best I've used. They last longer than all the other brands and also don't streak. I especially like the new one piece blades they have. Looks so much better than having a blade with 12 different arms on it

I just use the Rain X bug wash. It always treats the windshield with Rain X when you wash it. I almost never use the wipers

I recently replaced wipers on both my S2K and my Subie. Got the Bosch Icons for the S2K and some Valeo Ultimates from Tire Rack for the Subie. Both have performed flawlessly. I can't say that one is better than the other but can say that these new designs are great. Yeah they're more costly than OEM and standard blades, but their great functional performance is worth the extra to me.

I think the Bosch Icons are fantasic. I had them on my last car and the worked flawlessly
