Rain-X Repel Premium Bracketless Wiper Blade, 17" (Pack of 1)

I purchased these blades reluctantly in December 2010 for my 2007 Infiniti G35X Sedan. I did think they were a bit pricey but decided to purchase anyway. I have not been disappointed. I've had a clean windshield through the tough Winter of 2011 in the Midwest Chicago area. Drove home through a blizzard which yielded 21 inches of snow and they did NOT fail at all. They've not streaked my windshield, nor have they turned (for lack of a better word) inside out due to age. They are also quiet but that could be attributed to other factors. The sponge that comes with is a must. Water still runs right off the windshield if I'm splashed and I've had the vehicle detailed every 6 months. Honestly, I think the old school wax on the windshield (as my late father used to do)yields the same result. Literally the only reason I'm replacing them is due to my own damage. In February 2012, we had another snow storm and ice was building up on the wiper. I got out and knocked the ice off the blades with my snow brush and pulled the blade out of the track by accident. Now it's not wiping evenly. But folks trust me, this is the only reason I'm replacing them. The other blade is still wiping the same as day one. I can't say enough about them. Fortunately they do fit my vehicle and I understand the others being upset due to fit but I cannot complain one bit about these wipers. I'm purchasing my second pair since purchasing my first pair approximately 15 months ago. Good luck!

I have a Honda Civic and needed new wiper blades so I decided to search Amazon for something good. I admit I haven't had a good experience buying wiper blades from the local automotive shop or the oil change store. They never live up to expectations and break quickly or are very noisy or both! Here is my review....1) Fit. The fit is incredibly! On my Honda Civic, one wiper blade is shorter than the other. The Amazon website was able to determine what size I needed quickly after entering my make and model. 5 of 5 stars.2) Ease of installation. I actually had put off installing these for about two months because the last time I replaced my wiper blades is was such a pain. But these, were simple, and absolutely no hassle! 5 of 5 stars3) Performance. These gems simply get the water off of my windshield and do not leave streaks. They are awesome, and it makes my little Honda Civic seem like a different car in the rain! 5 of 5 stars.4) Quiet. They simply make very little noise and are the most quiet wiper blades I have ever owned. 5 of 5 stars.

I have been in the car business for 27 years and have never seen a wiper perform as well as these. In recent years, as wiper manufacturers have gone cheap with their materials, they usually last 3 months and start streaking again. This can be very expensive and damage your windshield. These wipers last twice as long and Use Rain X in the wiper itself, giving a clear wipe and excellent clarity. I would recommend them to anyone and use on any brand of vehicle. You have to use an activating wipe on the window before use, super easy, and also have to run the wipers on a dry winshield for 3 mins after install to apply the rain x, but other than that you WILL NOT be dissatisfied! It's so worth the little extra effort!! GREAT PRODUCT!

This seems to be a decent product, my problem with it is after I installed them, I'm not pleased with the appearance. They make these things universal to fit many different cars with different style wiper arms, and because of this they look like there is a piece missing where they clip on, the finish is not pleasing to me. I was giving Rain X a try just to see how they are, but when these wear out I'll be going back to the ones I had before.. Bosch Icon (which are slightly cheaper and work just as well and look 10x better installed). My car is 2005 Corolla with J hooks for wiper arms. If Rain X water beading is important, you can have that without buying their wipers, in fact they offer washer fluid that applies rain x, so the wipers are not necessary.Don't waste your money, buy Bosch Icon instead. Performance AND appearance for less.

Their nothing to write home about but they work just fine. This is the brand of bracketless style wiper blades that I have used (I have used Bosch, Valvoline, and Rain X) and honestly I don't feel like any of them have been any different from the others. If I had to put them in order of best to worst now having used all 3 in rain, I would say that (and to my surprise) I would put the Valvoline aqua-blades at the top, then Bosch, then these, but like I said, the differences in how well they performed were miniscule and I will continue to base my purchases on whatever bracketless blade is cheapest at the time (excluding the knock off brands which I'm assuming probably do have a larger gap in the difference of performance compared to these brands).Bottom line: buy bracketless, stick with name brand, and buy the cheapest bracketless option of those brands... or thats what I've been doing with good results thus far.

Buy them here (actually cheaper online than in an auto parts store). Comes with the packet for windshield treatment. Has several brackets included to ensure that it'll fit the wiper brackets. Window treatment is easy to apply. I'd recommend washing the windshield prior to installing it all as it'll help improve clarity. Only issue was that after running the wipers for 5 minutes after applying the treatment, it created 2 lines where the treatment was pushed until the wiper stopped. Fixed it by just rubbing it out into the windshield.mMorning showers were no match, as I was able to just let the wind roll the water beads off the windshield. Honestly believe these are the best money can buy. Ready to use them for storm chasing!
