Rain-X quality is declining

Terrible quality, wipers broke after less than a month of use. Leaves streaks and noise when erasing. Terrible quality, replaced by another brand. On top of that the installation drawing for the Sienna was upside down, I spent 20 minutes installing it according to the instructions and it doesn't fit. For some reason the thought of trying to install opposite the picture occurred to me and voila came out! Don't waste your time and money on this wiper, very disappointed with Rain-X.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Very expensive

Adapters aren't very intuitive

What happened to J-Hooks? It took two trips to the instructions, a little blood, a little swearing and half an hour to get the adapter installed on my car. I was left with a vague feeling that my wiper might fall off because the weird adapter didn't work well with the weird European lever to make me particularly confident in its effectiveness. The wipers didn't fall off before I traded the car in, so call it good enough for a government job.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some minor issues

J-Hook Sets "Unfinished " Appearance

For J-Hook Sets, the view is unfinished. Other wipers have a latch that closes the J-joint. This wiper linkage is open and doesn't look as smooth as my old wipers on my Honda Civic. Ironically, the same Rain-X Latitude model (smaller blade) for my passenger side had a plastic tab covering the J-hook. I am disappointed that two windscreen wipers from the same manufacturer do not match. I will try another brand next time. So far, the windshield wipers clean the windshield well from the rain.

Pros
  • Hands-Free Operation
Cons
  • Update Available

The wipers didn't last very well

Maybe my expectations for this product were too high, but they didn't last as long. I installed them in my car in April and by October they were practically useless. One of the wipers, which was never exposed to snow and ice, broke and couldn't effectively clear the water from my windshield. I'll try a different brand next time as they don't impress me considering they weren't used very much during the spring and summer months. I don't want to see what happens to them if I use them in cold…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Only available in black

COST Blade doesn't hold up as well as I'd like

Edit. It hasn't even been a month and the blades are garbage. I scrape well so the remaining ice doesn't damage the rubber, but it doesn't matter. The blades no longer clean windows very well. He leaves a huge stain right in front of my eyes every time. I am very disappointed in these blades. I did some research and they were rated highly by consumer review sites. Don't waste your money on these blades. Three weeks later I'm already exploring various replacement blades. Useless waste of money…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Poor instructions
