Forget the negative reviews on these. People dont read the instructions - Remember - do not put these on a dirty windshield, it must be clean for the Rain-X coating to work. I clean my windshield with glass cleaner & then put a coating of Rain-X on it. I get one year out of these blades living in the North East with harsh winters. I've been using these on all my cars & trucks for many years & are the best value for the money out there. Bosch Icons are supposed to be the best but these give 95% of the performance for 1/2 the price.
