| I have been looking for a good wiper blade for years. Like since I've been driving. I am totally anal about changing them out, too. One streak and they're history... Anyways, I've tried a few, if not all, of the "new tech" flexible blade ones over the years with much unimpressedness... But yesterday I bought a set of these RainX Lattitudes for the slut. Holy crap. They work! No chatter, no lifting off the windshield above 60mph! IMPRESSED!!!! I thought I had tried them all, but these mo-fo's work the balls! Even stayed on the windshield at 75-80MPH driving through pouring rain during the hurricane!!! And I had them on intermittent, didn't even need low speed. Wow.  I can't wait to try em on the Marshmallow! Give em a shot. They're worth the extra money. And right now, they are half off or 8 bucks off the second blade at autozone and advance, respectively. I was pissed at spending the 30 bucks for the pair yesterday, but it turns out that it's the best 30 bucks that I've spent on a car in a while. Yeah, seriously, they're THAT good!  _________________ Bill "The Verb" Crovo - Resident Car Slut & Unicorn Hunter  A Toasted Marshmallow, A Long German, A Lame Suburban and expensive dreams...

| I'll have to go get some! I'm picky about that stuff too. The ones on the Caprice were lifting and grabbing across the glass weeks after I replaced the blades...the only ones that "work" are the ones on the Tahoe, and they aren't even great. | |

| I had a set on the Caprice. Loved em. Bought a set for the VW, they sucked. I'll be sticking with the Bosch Icon's. | |

| My "new" Grand Marquis came with a set, and yes, they're the best blades ever ever. | |

| I have used them ever since my 08 Silverado came with a similar set from the factory. I like being able to use them year around, and they hold to the windshield since they have a built in air foil.

| Yeah, i have tried all the other brands of the same style, and they were the crap. These however, are the un-crap of wiperbladedom! _________________ Bill "The Verb" Crovo - Resident Car Slut & Unicorn Hunter A Toasted Marshmallow, A Long German, A Lame Suburban and expensive dreams...

Nope. Straight up. Wax buildup and grime on the windshield and all... _________________ Bill "The Verb" Crovo - Resident Car Slut & Unicorn Hunter A Toasted Marshmallow, A Long German, A Lame Suburban and expensive dreams...
