Review on SilBlade 2221 Premium Wiper Blade by Steve Jones

SilBlade FLX Premium Not That Premium

SilBlade FLX 2619 Premium Wiper Blade Kit - 26/19" The SilBlade FLX Premium Beam Wiper Blade Kit installed on my Honda with no problems. If you follow the instructions provided, you should be able to easily fit the wiper blades yourself. Installing the wipers took about 5 minutes. I was a little surprised that the brushes didn't match the picture, but figured it wasn't really a problem. The wiper blades are modeled after the more expensive brands you find on luxury cars without the luxury prices. What fascinated me the most was the combination package, which contained both sizes needed for my car. The packaging (as they note in the listing) is very green. There is very little waste, just enough to protect the wiper blades from damage in transit. The wiper arms slide well over the windshield and remove water. I don't think they're as good as some of the other brands I've bought, but they're also a lot cheaper. Update - the leaf on the driver's side got striped after a while but I accepted it due to the size and cheap leaf. Today the temperature dropped below 30 and the blade broke from my hand. There was quite a bit of ice overnight, but this is the first wiper blade I've ever snapped off the connector for any reason. I will not buy these wipers again. The blade also does not match the picture. (as mentioned above) Finally it could have been user error in a breakdown but even then the wiper blades performed worse than the very cheap metal blades I bought after the driver's side blade broke and I had to buy something to replace . It is an emergency. If you found my review helpful, I would appreciate it if you would click the "yes" button to let me know that I am providing useful information to you and others.
