I'm going to have to do something because I can't keep replacing blades ever 3-6 months just to get by on the weather. I have bought the rain x for the interior window (less fog windows when warming up your car) and the exterior windows (so the water beads right off the windows). I'm looking at any means possible for best visibility and longevity of seeing...

@rickakated10: I don't think there is no such thing as a perfect blade. If any is made, then its waiting to hit the market later while all the blades we are buying is gearing close to that technology.

 

whats wrong with the blades that came on the car from the factory? i thought that they were pretty good.

 

Seriously?!?! They get old, hard, cracked and begin to streak. Same thing happens with all wiper blades. You can't tell me you're still using the ones that came on your car, are you?

 

Well I got my monte in 06' (with 46K on the dash) so there was after market blades on it then and I have been chasing some good blades eversince....:-)

 

I have some RainX brands, they work great... TOO great.
They even pick up dirt/debris from the windshield, and I hear no 'streaking' sound either.
I have this dirt build on both left and right sides of the windshield lol

 

I still have my Bosch Icons, no problems at all. Sorry you got the bad set Rick

Also about the rebate, you are about 11 months too late haha

 

No biggie.

 

yeah seriously. i meant, why dont you buy a pair of the factory blades? yeah i am still running the blades that came on the car. the driver one is starting to go and i want to pick up a pair before the weather gets bad out here, but i plan on buying the same ones that gm has on there. i personally thought that they were awesome and lasted forever. i use the wipers just about everyday whether it be for the never ending rain since jersey is the seattle of the east coast, or my overwhelming need to hit the washer in order to have a perfectly cleaned window. this all may stem from driving a 30 yr old car everyday for almost a decade. now the wipers on that car sucked no matter what you threw on there. add the 2 speeds of slow and not fast enough and youve got a bad combination.

 

So what does come from GM? Declo brand blades?

 

Declo, are they new in the business.
Gotta look into them. thanks!
