REMOVE PROTECTION! (This is NOT obvious!)

[UPDATE] Like an idiot, I didn't realize there was a clear plastic guard on the blade that needed to be removed. I was using a tread blade when writing the review below. After removing the guard (I didn't realize until a month later when it started removing itself) the blades work perfectly. REMOVE PROTECTION BEFORE USE! The blade falls out of the holder. I bought them to install right away after receiving my car's details and driving from Seattle to South Carolina. About halfway through the…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Concise manual

Complicated details but really good squeegee.

PROFI. The scraper rubber itself is good, even superior to the new blades I had on my 2015 Volt. But time will tell if the mop will hold up. The real rubber part looks flimsy and I suspect it was made in Chuna.CONS. Rain-X features a real Mickey Mouse mechanism for a versatile approach to installing its products on wiper arms. We had a special term for this when I was in the army, but I won't write it down here. The original parts on my 2015 Chevy are better shaped to let air through (called a…

Leaves a streaky, cloudy windscreen - very disappointing

I decided to replace my Bosch wipers with Rain-X because, hey, who doesn't love the polished look that most Rain-X products offer? Well, apparently this standard does not apply to these wipers. Installation was very easy - I didn't find the universal socket to cause as much damage to the product as other users did as it can be installed in less than three minutes. No need to search for a YouTube video or read the included installation guide - they slipped and locked into my 2011 Toyota Prius…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • The list will go on.

Worst product ever. DO NOT BUY.

It was a good deal with mixed reviews so I decided to give it a try. I bought two sets for my two cars about 2.5 months ago. Until today the wipers on my car were fine, now not so much. more on that later. We went skiing last weekend and took my wife's car, it has just snowed so the roads were in a muddy mess, I noticed the windshield wiper on the passenger side of her car was squeaking horribly, I thought it might go with it Being covered in oil so I took some washing liquid and a rag and went

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Some difficulties
