    Rain-X Latitude Wipers

    For those of you looking to upgrade your front wipers to Rain-X Latitude Wipers don't bother looking at the fitment chart, cuz they say 24" Drivers Side and 19" Passenger Side. I installed both today and the 19" won't fit so you have get the 17" for the passenger side.

    Also for the install you have to pop out the plastic clip on the metal round bar with a small flat head screw driver and pop in the other clip that they have

    so you are saying those are better than Rain-X Latitude Wipers.

    My opinion.

    I've never used the Latitude wipers, but the Bosch are the best ones I've used so far. They are incredible IMO, and I live in Miami where it rains like every day it seems like.

    They are similar in design though, so performance might be very close...

    Only way to test them would be to mix-n-match one on each side that are the same length.

    i have the 24'' and 19'' but my problem is when i first installed it everything was fine. After about 4-5 months of intense heat and humidity in the south ive noticed that the middle of the blade has lifted up causeing a streak on both blades.

    Its like a leaf is caught in the blade and it smears water.

    ...All clear except that streak caused by both blades now :(....

    I just picked up a set of these about a month ago. Such an improvement over the stock wipers, well worth it.

    nice to hear some people are streak free (like the add claims).

    Right there the blade hooks onto the hendge (or whatever) is where Im getting the streaking on both blades. Drives me crazy and it makes me wanna jump out and bend those suckers straight!

    I had tried the Bosch Icons, and they are good, but I recently stumbled across the best wiper blade I've ever used.

    I had a Target gift card and I needed wipers so I decided to buy whatever they had at Target. The nicest ones were the Michelin Optimums, which were $15 each, but they are amazing!

    The Michelin wiper blade guide recommended 24" and 16", but I got 26" and 16", so there's no annoying areas missed by the wipers.

    Swear there ain't no Heaven and I'll pray there ain't no hell.

    I have the same ones. You can also get them at Walmart. They work great for me. It's been about 8 months I believe, but we will see if they last through winter.
