So i just bought some cheap wiper blades and they suck. I was thinking about those rain x latitude blades. Theyre only $18 online. Anyone have any experince with them or have any other ideas? Seriously i want some sweet wiper blades that give perfect visability.

The rain x have some great reviews. So do bosch icons. Many also like to simply replace the stock refills.

Bosch Icons are the only ones I run.. I have had a set on my I35 for 4 years or better.. still going. My Cousin has a set on his EVO 8 and his have been on over a year longer than mine. I also trust them on my wifes surburban.. I love them.

RainX is plug and play in most Nissan/Infiniti cars.All you have to do is press the release lever to unlock, pull out old wiper and insert new one. Anco and Michelin are also good but not practical on the M, Q and other cars where you cannot lift up the wiper arm since they require positioning the wiper blade perpendicular to the wiper arm for installation. Goodyear is bad for the M (designed has to go back to drawing board). I need to cut part of the frame to enable me to insert the wiper arm tip to the wiper blade. Had to repaint the wiper blade to make it look good.

I used the RainX on my last car and plan on getting some for my i30...no complaints, they just work. They are good as winter blades too since they are solid...snow/ice doesn't really build up on them.

From a longevity perspective I have historically gotten 2x the use out of the factory blades than aftermarket. The aftermarket ones cheap out too often regardless of them being a name brand. I've used RainX, Trico, Bosche, etc. and they have relatively the same lifespan.

I use the rain x latitude blades and they work pretty well and get no "build up" on them.
