I ordered rain-x Weatherbeater blades online because they actually had the correct sizes in stock (26" and 14"). That 14" blade is hard to find. Anyway, during a rain storm, they were TERRIBLE at highway speeds above 65MPH...the 26" blade would lift and streak and totally miss wiping leaving poor visibility. I could not go above 60 mph with them on! So, in terms of stock wipers vs. Rain-X Weatherbeaters....I'd stick with stock.

Surprisingly, the $3 Pylon blades at walmart work very well for me. Michelin blades are actually owned by Pylon so I was happy to find that out too.

I personally love RainX wiper blades, Ive been through a few thunderstorms with them on now. BOSCH Icon is another brand you could look at, they are really good. I wax my windows with RainX, and in conjunction with the new wipes.... my versa punches rain in the face!

I just bought my second replacement blades from Nissan. Cost me $18 and they work perfectly fine. No streaks or anything. All those advertisements that the blades leave streaks is a bunch of bulls***. Your blades get worn out they leave streaks. That means time to replace them. The ones I just replaced, it would leave about an inch of streaks on my window when it would wipe.

Now only if wiper blades were strong enough to clean off them damn bugs in stead of smudging each time. LOL.

Out this way we have miles miles of wheat, potato, onion fields especially on the long drive to Oregon or Southern Idaho.
