Just checking but are there any wiper blade upgrades for our cars? Something more streamlined like the newer models?

Wiper Blade upgrades? Na, they're pretty disposable.
Although RainX brand combined with RainX Glass treatment is FTW

It's hard to get too excited about wiper blades but they really are good.
Really clean looking without all the metalwork.
Yeah, they're usually called fusion or flat blades.

The rainX version of these are now available at all NTB's if you have them in your area. Expect to spend $75 for a hatchback. Still considering it myself.

Loads cheaper to buy from ebay uk and get them shipped. There will be one on there somewhere that will ship to US....
Mine cost about $25 shipped
-LukeMy Flickr
Untill now i never knew they existed. I know of a shop that'll have them, But NOT at NTB's prices.
(Common Matt? $75; WTF?!)
But now that i know they are out there, I think i need to find some
Thanks Manphibian, For being a Fcuking Genus.

Notice I said hatchback [3 required - I can't stand mismatched stuff on my car] and rainX. You've priced their regular style replacements and you think $25ea is crazy? Also remember these were from high priced NTB as well.
RainX's infomercial was selling them for $20/ea before they came out officially so that all sounds right.

I buy my RainX's for bout $11-12 @ O'Riley in Katy. I know you need a 3rd wiper too, and NTB is WAY over priced. I'm gunna check that Pep-Boys on 610 @ Ella Northside. I bet they'd have em, but cheaper than NTB. They got everything at that Pep-boys.

Just asked her and she said they were from Direct Tire and were less than $60 for the pair... they were Rain X Fusion wipers - the flat blade type.
I've seen these locally too... can't remember who makes 'em, I'll keep an eye out
nvm I should read further b4 posting... duh

Rain-X® LatitudeTM Wiper Blades, yeah, about 20 dollars for one...been awhile since I bought them, but they work great. You can get them from pretty much anywhere.
^dammit said it before i could. latitudes ftw. they were the first but now other companies are coming out with them i.e. bosch icons etc...

That was the off the TV presale they were doing right? They are more expensive now. Only place I can find them is NTB and even with my discount they are $75 for 3.
How do they last anyway? I love rainX wipers but they start to suck quicker than the walmart brand. I thought it might be my car but my Mom has the same problem on her Crustang.
If these are gonna be like all their other products and work phenomonally for 2 weeks and then start leaving streaks they can fcukin keep em. This may be the one time I've ever used the satisfaction gauranteed or your money back thing - I'm tired of overpaying for bad results [But man those first few weeks are crystal boy].

http://www.rainx.com/offer/we get a decent amount of rain too not as much as y'all but i'm right off the coast. I've been impressed w/ them.
i had the "fusion" blades that were made by Rainx (latitude, i believe they were called.) i hated them. really did.
ill just stick to the standard Rainx blades from now on.
