Wiper Blades

Any suggestions? Just keep buying the cheap ones at Costco, or go with the $20 Bosch. I've heard bad things about RainX and I think I bought a pair once and was pretty disappointed with them. Rainy season is starting down here, and I wasn't sure if shelling out an extra $10/wiper is worth it if they all last the same amount of time.

I rock the Costity coco ones. But have never actively shopped wiper blades. More of a, oh yeah I need wiper blades, when I walk by the display.

My college beater required a co-pilot on the right side when it rained. I had a string tied through my blades and we'd have to take turns pulling down and across on it. If I couldn't find a buddy I couldn't drive.

Life was more fun more often when we were poor and had shitty stuff.

That's about where I'm at right now. My driver's side wiper doesn't do shit.

I only buy the ones that look like a solid piece of rubber now, the metal cheap ones are garbage comparatively.

Bought rain-x last time and wasn't a huge fan... but that's because i have a standard wiper. If your car needs a different connection, it came with those and they easily swap out.

Since i didn't need it, the extra stuff was worthless and the wiper would detach multiple times in the winter while cleaning my windshield off.

This is a profound and true statement.

I tried the Rain X wipers. Waste of money. They froze up in the winter and were just as shitty as the el-cheapo metal linkage type. The rubber edge didn't last any longer either. Maybe someday someone will come up with a wiper blade design that doesn't freeze up in the winter and can maintain full glass contact in all weather conditions.

I just want to know the technology they have that makes the first part to fuck up exactly in my line of view

Wipers are for poor people. That's my drivers problem, not mine.

Try putting this stuff on your windshield, and the wipers don't matter as much.


May have to re-do it every week or 2, but it only takes a couple minutes
