I've put 2 sets of RainX wipers on my car in 55k miles, easy/fast/fits perfect. Apparently I got a crappy batch wiper of theirs because my drivers side despite being new, clean, with a mint windshield treated with rainx, still leaves streaks and doesn't wipe like the same RainX wiper I had on the car in the past, passenger side is fine.

Pros: easy to install, perfect fit

Cons: leaves streaks, inconsistent performance

Mileage: 55000 km

It rained today and I noticed the blades only make contact with 1/2 the windshield. They are Rain-X Latitude so you can avoid them. The windshield just has too much curve for the blade.

Cons: poor windshield contact

Vehicle: MINI

I personally used Bosch on all my cars but I got the Rain X ones recently. Amazing in rainy weather, total ass for durability winter wise, they are already losing shape.

Pros: amazing in rainy weather

Cons: losing shape
