What's a good windshield wiper?
 
Im sick of buying wipers and a month later they are streaking! Ive tried Bosch Icon, RainX, and am currently back to the Michellens.

Just wondering what everyone is using and what the best is. I just want something that works and will last!!

2 for 1 at Tire Rack.

i have had my rain x single piece wipers for just over a year now and it's about time to replace. I have never had a set of wiper blades last even close to this long and they do a really good job clearing rain, ice and snow

my bosch icons lasted a few years. love them. sure streaking isn't something else? i would try stoners invisible glass and clean the wipers.

have never liked rain-x on my windshield. sure i wouldn't like their wipers either.

Bosch Icons, Rain-X Lattitude. All of the one piece designs.

Michelin makes a knock off of the Latitude, forget the name but you save a lot and get the same thing

They also look great.

I think the rain-x latitudes are awesome to. I have them and have never had a problem with streaking.

Still as pricey as Latitudes and you have pay shipping? Michelin radius is 15 cheaper per set and now you get an extra 10 bucks off when you buy at walmart

I have had good luck out of the rainx brand

I vote for the Rain x. I dont have the latitudes but they still work great.Then again here in Socal all we have to deal with is a little rain...no snow here :cool:

They're buy one get one.

Although when I bought mine they were free shipping.


They also do great with snow.

Bosch icons.. same thing as rain x latitudes. ive had my icons for like 5-6mnts now n they are still good. if you used em for 1 mnt n they were bad im pretty sure its another issue & not the blades.

My local autozone's (maybe checkers?) got the contours buy 1 get 1 right now. Don't know if that's a national thing. Ive had a set for 3 months or so and they've worked pretty well.

anomaly117 Jan 27, 2010 02:00 PM

ive never had streaks with my icons. :gotme:

morteljc Jan 27, 2010 03:40 PM

i have rain x latitudes on all of our 4 cars and could never be happier... it did great during the socal storm... no problems so far...

lobewiper Feb 1, 2010 06:23 PM

I have stock Nissans and love them.

HIMax Feb 1, 2010 06:32 PM

I have the RainX Latitudes on my Max and Alti. I had one set for almost a year and finally replaced it because the black plastic faded before the wiper wore out. Awesome wipers.

I have the Michelin hydroedge wipers on my max and my wife's Mazda 3. They work amazing (in the crappy Canadian weather we have up here). Price is not bad since they are all the same price for any size. Costco has 'em -> these are the Goodyear ones - look exactly like the Michelin ones and about the same price.

Was not able to find the link for the Michelin ones @ Costco but I know they have them - just went last weekend and bought a pair...

Hope this helps

I love my Bosch Icons....year and a half and still going strong

bought these at costco this past weekend at 8 bucks each. Went to Target and paid 15 each less than 2 months ago, so jumped on this when i saw it. They work well and no issues thus far
