ring fry Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I've tried them all, as far as I know, and they all are crap. Anco, Michelan, napa, etc. Anyone found one that they are real happy with? Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I usually buy anco but I have heard that the Rain X blades are really good. They have a bend in them so the pressure creates a tight seal and whisks everything away. Quote
ring fry Posted December 10, 2008 Author Posted December 10, 2008 Rain-X has been the best of the bad for me. Quote
atx_newbie Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 For living in an area with a lot of snow, like Chicago, do I need to get specialty wiper blades? If so, anyone recommend a particula winter wiper blade? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted December 10, 2008 Super User Posted December 10, 2008 These have served me well for the past three winters: http://www.boschautoparts.com/Products/WiperBlades/ME.htm Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted December 10, 2008 Super User Posted December 10, 2008 I've always used Anco blades, with no problems to speak of. Falcon Quote

-HAWK- Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Bosch Icon +1 No need to look any further. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Those Bosch Icon blades look amazing. I see them as a self-Christmas present very soon. Quote
ring fry Posted December 10, 2008 Author Posted December 10, 2008 Alright, the Bosch Icons it is. Thanks. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted December 10, 2008 Super User Posted December 10, 2008 Do yourself a huge favor in addition to the Bosch blades - get a bottle of Rain X and apply it to all of your exterior widows. I thought the stuff was some junk gimmick, but it works great. One thing though, make sure your glass is absolutely spotless before you put it on, it works better. Quote

Rain-X on the outside of the windshield applied and removed with separate microfiber cloths... Stoner's Invisible Glass sprayed on the inside and removed with crumpled up newspaper. Spotless. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted December 11, 2008 Super User Posted December 11, 2008 There's no need for the Rain X. Just use the Rain-X wiper fluid. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted December 11, 2008 Super User Posted December 11, 2008 Those Bosch Icon blades look amazing. I see them as a self-Christmas present very soon. I've tried every wiper on the market over the last 16 years. Those are the best I've found and the only blade I will use. I just replaced the blades on my truck. They lasted almost two years (and would have lasted longer if I would keep a ice scraper in my vehicle). Quote
Bassboss Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 we have Rain X blades, the work good! Quote
