Ok fall will be hear soon and for the most part I use RainX on the windows but wanted to install an upgraded aftermarket set of wiper blades I have seen ones from PIAA and some multi blade set ups what do you guys use or recommend?

I also use rain X on my windows. I also just install rain X wipers and they work great. They are a little more but I hate cheap wiper that miss spots.

I just got some Bosch blades from AutoZone. They were $12 each but they work much, much better than the $7 ones I bought from K Mart only a couple months ago ever did.

I also bought Rain X for the first time, but haven't had time to clean the truck before I put it on.

I would just stick with Rain X they are the best wipers I have used. Forget the double blades and all that you only need one good blade...

I feel for that triple blade gimmic and they were in the trash in a month....stick with a quality single blade. I never tried Rain-X, does it really work that good??? How long does it last?

I need to replace my rain x blades and even though they need to be changed they are still good in modrate to heavy rain they just aren't top notch like when they were new for light stuff that is falling as slow as snow. They are great though mine are about 8 months old. As soon as I get new ones they will not streak at all even on the first time you turn them on when they're dry. I live in NY and we get quite a bit of rain so they're used quite a bit...

I got bosh also, they work fine for me, when i have to use them, like once a month or even that. i might as well just take them off. I hate texas.

i recomend mid grade wipers. don't be mad but here is my resoning. 1. because they're not overly expensive and they still do the job. 2. i just can't see myself spending over $15-20 on a windshield wiper. 3. to me, they all last up to a year and 1/2 or so in normal weather. 4. the double or tripple wiper gimmik belongs on a honda that has a huge wing, small wheels, loud as ship exhaust, fake chrome something and drives way under the speed limit to avoid being deported somewhere else. And five, they just look like normal windshield wipers, what they should look like. i'd go w/ the rainex...

Thx guys for the feedback I love using the RainX on the windows and had not looked at their wiper blades but sounds like I should give them a good look and the Bosch ones too......for the most part with RainX treatment on the windows I don't use the wipers a whole lot anyway.....and rhowe I hear you 110% on the ricer look.....I keep thinking those whale tail spoilers would make a good target for my front bumper.....I hate ricers from the way they look to the way they drive.......you want to become a traffic hazard on the hwy I will run your riceball ass over hehe.....and I can say what I like my mom is half Japanese
