Wiper blades rainx or OEM Toyota

I live north of Barrie and have been using rain-x blades for over 10 years. I find it's less about the blade itself and more about changing them out regularly. I recently put a set of rain-x quantums on a sportwagen and have been very happy with them so far.

This is why I am glad Toyota/Lexus still sells just the replaceable blade itself. Less waste and their wipers are better fitted to the windshields.

I always buy orignal Toyota replacement wipers. 35+ years experience with Toyota products, and they give the best value.

I like rainx latitude, not the cheaper ones. thThey last a long time and wipe evenly even in the desert so I haven't tried much else. They look like just one elongated curved stick don't mistake them for the same rainx brand but the value ones that look like a it has a mechanical web type thing on the arm. They do come with a silicone coating to repell water.

I use Rain-X Latitude Water Repellency 26 and 24" on mine and they work well. In south Florida we get those random torrential storms and I have no issues with them.

Rainx silicone has always treated me well I love them. A bit pricey at like 25 a blade but worth it for how clean they keep your windshield

I run RainX on my Forester and they've done really well

the factory wiper blade was rendered useless on the passenger side.

Passenger side wiper misses in the same spot. Using the wiper de-icer button doesn't help either when it's too cold out because any slight gap and the blade stays icy.

Factory blade design can’t handle Midwest freezing rain.
