2018 XC90 - assembled (I think) in Belgium. Some minor annoyances - wipers don't seem to adequately clear water on one side (as if not pressed against glass tight enough) but they are all one big assembly so needed to replace both stalks entirely because the washer nozzles are integrated in the wipers themselves -- just too complex a design.

Pros: mechanically going strong

Cons: wipers don't clear water

Vehicle: Volvo XC90

Mileage: 128747 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

A lot of people saying OEM. I think this is where I\u2019d disagree going OEM for Lexus. The wipers that came with my 25 RX suck. I got the car in January and I already need new ones. The RainX silicon ones last way longer and are way better IMO.

Pros: last way longer

Cons: OEM suck

Vehicle: Lexus RX
