best windshield wipers?

[Ratt]

I've used a lot of different ones, including Bosch, and the best so far have been the Rain X Latitudes. I've had mine for 1.5 years, and they are just now needing to be replaced. They work better out of the box than anything else I've tried.

This is good to hear.

Is that promotion going on now? I had to replace my right rainx latitude with a shitty skeleton blade not too long ago and would like to get two good blades again.

Yes. Last month was the rain x latitudes.

They're ~20$ a blade so expect ~35$ out the door after taxes.

Bosch Icon or Rain-x Latitude if name brand but the similar Duralast premium line are excellent also.

It's the lack of rain that makes them need to be replaced so often. With this dry weather, when you do need them, they will suck.

X2 the duralast flex blades are damn good too. Buddy of mine has had them over a year on his truck, they still wipe like new!

Whatever I buy it will be from Walmart. Those bastards at Vatozone will stick it as far up your ass as they can. I bought a set for the Lightning (jut refill blades) and they were $12.00 per blade. I went to walmart to get oil and I saw they had them for half price.

"Ever since then, I'm like FUCK HECTOR!"

Refils are 6.99$ per pack.

They are anco brand and come 2 to a pack.

Normally wal mart will have lower prices, but AZ will be cheaper when you catch them on sale, like now.

Who do you think you're talking too boy?
First off, who in the fuck buys the refills, anyone with a half a brain and prior experiance, knows that just the refills require the patience of a sloth, NO ONE buys these damn things. Everyone buys the wiper blades and they cost me $13.99 a blade @ 2 = $30.29 (w/tax).
Second, I went to Wallyworld and got the EXACT same thing for less than half price of Vatozone, jr.
So you can take that marked up refill (blade) and shove it right up your ass...

I like my motorcraft ones. Had them over a year and they're still working like new.

PIAA makes a wiper blade that works great on my FJ. It's a more heavy duty design and seems to clean the crap off the window better. The first set I had lasted about a year. I put the 2nd set on a few months back and they are working just as good as the first ones. I've used the high-end Bosch blades before and I like them too, but not as much as the PIAA blades.

That's the next set I'm going with. A coworker has had them on his F-150 for the last two years and they are still holding up.

Okay, I need to clarify. I have used Bosch, but never the Icons. I just picked up a set of Icons to replace the Latitudes, and they certainly look better with a piece that covers the spot where they connect to the arm. They seem like they will work great, but we'll see if they outlast the Latitudes. I hope so, because they were fucking expensive!

That's because you're a baller that gets a new truck every couple years!

In all honesty, I'd bet a garage-kept vehicle's wiper blades last twice as long. No extreme heat differences, sun beating down on it, etc.

I have motorcraft blades but clay bar and rain x the windshield so I never use them unless it's a monsoon out there

those motorcraft blades seem to last forever. I had a (no shit) 6 year old pair on my sable and they were still not that bad when I replaced them. Rain-X makes a new glass cleaner with rain-x in it. Works great... I keep a bottle in my sable and clean the windows once every other month and I practically don't even need the wipers.
