I live in New England and use Rain-X Weatherbeater blades(16",13",13"). This current set has been on for over a year and still going strong.

Pros: going strong over year

You pretty much have to have your heat and fan set to max on your windshield with your wipers going constantly. That’s how I managed to keep my wipers from freezing up in a winter storm. And this was with a Volkswagen Jetta.

Pros: wipers not freezing

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

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
