Customer Reviews These are JUNK...buy something else Date: 2009-01-06 | Rating: 1 Pros: None Cons: Price - too high performance - they don't work going faster than 30MPH performance - snow buildup is terrible, ice sticks to them badly quality - they fell apart Comments: These are, without question, the worst wiper blades I've ever purchased in my life, and quite possibly one of the worst products of any kind I've ever had the misfortune of buying or using. The marketing part is the draw and the person responsible for the marketing should be commended...because they're suckering in many. These are priced at about 300% of a normal wiper blade and double the cost of a winter blade. I will say that it works quite well as you sit in a rainy parking lot, or at a stop light, or in your driveway. As soon as you get going over 30 MPH then they stink. The contour itself seems to be the design flaw. The bend is greater than most windshields and that means the tips are pressing against the windshield harder than the center. This allows the wind to lift the center of the blade and water gets underneath so the wiper can't clear the water as you're driving. Terrible. During snow these wipers collect more snow for some reason than a standard blade ever did, and the ice sticks to the rubber wiping element badly. The quality is in the tank. The end caps came off both wipers and that has allowed the rubber wiping element to slid out making the wipers even more useless. Now they must be replaced. Do yourself a favor and don't buy these. Stick with the regular basic cheap wiper, or get a classic winter blade wrapped in the rubber boot...those work the best. Steer clear of these. Very Dissatisfied Date: 2009-11-17 | Rating: 1 These are horrible wipers. I don't usually give in to the latest craze, but seeing this style utilized on the newer VW, Mercedes and Jaguars I decided it must be an improvement. I found these not to work well in any scenario. The curve is not solid enough to make complete contact with the windscreen and gets worse over 50 Mph. At freeway speeds, their useless. The usable range at a stop light is 2" shy of each tip of the wipers increasing to 4-5" at freeway speeds. They also lift off the windscreen at speed and leave huge areas un-wiped. Huge safety issue. Not having a support system at the ends means no matter how strong of a arm spring you use makes no difference at the tips. They also cost twice as much as the "tried & trued" conventional blades. Yes, the conventional style isn't perfect, even a pain in ice/snow, but can be remedied with long known techniques. You will make a big mistake giving in to these. Definitely not worth the extra money. Thank you. - Practical Politics - Facial Tissues - Cloths & Wipes - Household Batteries | |||||
