I always have trouble with my blades chattering and having to replace them too often, so I decided to buy the best ones I could to see if it helped. These are excellent! It was raining today so I got to test them out, and they work great. They hug the windshield at Highway speeds like nothing else, and also do an excellent job at low speeds. I also noticed a small decrease in wind noise as well. Plus, I have 3 spoilers now lmao.gif

Does anyone else have these?



If you want to get them, I'd suggest Amazon or Ebay, because the local parts stores charge alot.

Those arent the best you can get.

THe Piaa Silicone's are the best I've ever seen, and what's on my car.

And way too expensive.

I meant the best offered at the local Auto-shops. And how much do those silicones cost?

I Read About those Silicone's and I can accomplish approximately the same affect by using Rain-X and my current blades so I won't be swapping out anytime soon, but I may try those next time. If these work as well as I plan though Ill probably just stick with these.

The Icon's are about the same price because they're bracketless, the 22" was like $21 and the 18" was $18.

see, that would have been a good comeback if rain actually made your car shine, but it doesn't it makes it look like crap and all streaky and makes your ish rust.
