Rain-X Latitude 2-In-1 Water Repellency Wiper Blade 18"

Save yourself! I've installed several windshield wipers in my life, even previous rainx brand ones. These were an absolute horrid experience to install. It's not that it's too complicated but it seems poorly assembled. There's so many plastic pieces on the assembly to create a one size fits all that it just seems to make everything worse. You may or may not need to take some of the plastic pieces away and if you don't mind ripping your fingernails off, be my guest and buy these. For my assembly, the J hook, I had to pry this little plastic clasp back. It's secure. But trying to clamp it back in over the hook... I about broke my thumbs. They are still throbbing 20 mins later. Either bring tools, or I highly recommend trying a different wiper. Nothing against the ... MoreSave yourself! I've installed several windshield wipers in my life, even previous rainx brand ones.

I will admit I did struggle a bit to put these onto my cars. If you have J-hook windshield wipers, the trick is to make sure you fully click the blade on before attempting to close the top latch. I tried to close it before doing that and it would not close. Pull the blade onto the hook with enough effort to where you hear it actually click on. It will stay put without locking the latch and you’ll know then that you can click the latch shut. It may be a little difficult and takes a bit of push and pull, but they will get on there. It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to install these, and the effort is worth it. I feel confident in driving through the rain with these blades. The water beads right off and there’s minimal streaking, which disappears quickly.

Brought new wipers for my brand new Blazer about 2 weeks ago. I usually always use Rain X but this the first last time buying these specific blades and I will never do it again two blades and Rain X windshield wash $40 and these blades leave streaks and grease residue all over its ridiculous its like I never changed the blades from the cheap ones from the manufacturer. I wish I still had the reciept and container these would go back!
