Default Windshield Wipers?

Anyone tried these yet? They seem like a good concept, sure they would help with streaking, like they advertise. I might buy a set when I get my Signing Bonus... I'm also trying to decide between a new TV, or new Wheels, cause Mine are really close to needing replaced...

Was driving earlier, doing 25 in second, gave it a little gas so I could keep my RPM's close when I switched to third, and I spun the tires.... all the snow is gone too... it was on dry pavement. Rpm's were maybe... 500-1000 over matching...

Edit: Rain-x Latitude.... And our wipers are two different sizes??? I looked on their website and they say the drivers is 16, and the passengers is 20.... wtf? Anyone confirm/disagree with this?

I have the Bosch Icon's, which are basically the same thing, and they are worth every single penny I paid for them. The wipers are in fact two different sizes.

The 16/20 sizing is correct.

I like my PIAA wipers a lot. They sort of "Rain-X" the windshield for you - but, the effect seems to go away a bit as they wear.

I like the Piaa but I like the Bosch much better.

I think Autozone is doing buy 1 Bosch wiper get the other one free. (Rebate.)

I've read somewhere that rain-x wipers are horrible for some reason. There was a review on here or maybe it was another site that someone mad a review and wasnt impressed with them.

Tirerack is having the B1G1 free on the Valeo wipers which is pretty much the same concept. Runs about $28 shipped.

I've been using Rain-X on my other car, pretty good, but I never tried Bosch or PIAA. I will try Bosch next time.

Who drives in the rain?

I saw the RainX commercial and thought about giving them a try, however I just installed new OEM replacements so now isn't exactly a good time to upgrade.

You clearly don't live in Houston.
