Put a pair on my mothers Outlook and they work great. Ill never go cheap on blades and this is a great buy. I must say they are cheaper compared to what dealerships want for non rain-x which also arent as good.

I think Pep Boys has them on sale.

I have Bosh Icons, and really like them (got them on sale). Consumer Reports (for what they are worth) did a review of blades, and rated the RainX ones in the top 2 or 3.

I have them Rain-X and I love them.
Durable, nice quality and I think I have them for more than a year and they are still awesome.

I've had them for about a year now and they're awsome! No pressure points and hardly ever any streaking....only when parked under a tree for awhile sometimes pieces of the branches would become lodged under the blade. IMO very well worth the 18 bucks!

So, the pressure point that they mention in the commercials really work? I am tempted to purchase some of these too.

I use the Bosch Icons on the F-150 and Michelin's (forgot the specific name) on the Jeep and the both perform just as good as the other. The Michelin's were on sale a while back at Wal-Mart for $5 and I picked up a ton of them.

I think the Bosch's are a little better than the Michelins, they seem to last longer.

Re: anyone used rain-X latitude blades?

I dunno about the pressure point stuff... but the Icons (similar style) sure seem to work good, assuming you arent tearing them up on ice ,etc.

They are also shaped (and I assume the RainX are as well) for the wind to press them down on the glass.

They are pretty amazing compared to standard blades, but they are high .

I use the Rain-X weatherbeather blades on my car and I think they're the best wiper blades I've ever used! You can get them for about $10 each from Advance Auto Parts or about $8.50 each from Wal-mart. Never used the latitude blades, though, but you might be able to get them at Wally World, too.

As long as I'm going more than about 35-40, I dont use my wipers, the water just beads right off, it's pretty cool to watch actually
