I needed new wipers, the ones i had on my car, broke. I got into the car, felt lazy to brush the snow off, used the wiper and the wiper goes across the window dragging the metal across the window. Apparently the rubber portion was frozen onto the window. Oh well, I had one wiper that worked, and one that was Fubar.
As i was going to leave my hosue, Speed Network was on tv and i saw a commerical for these new Latittude Wipers from Rain-X. Ill give those a try, So it took about 5 days, shipping. but i got them just intime before the next storm.

My Review:
The wipers work great, They dont leave streaks on the windows, when its raining. And they dont have much give, when pushing snow. When you first un pack the wipers they feel really flimzy and cheap. But they are not, For the price of regular wipers, A free Window cleaning kit, and some of that rain-x spray everyone loves. This is a great package deal from Rain-X. You get all of this for the same price as Bosch and PIAA wipers, and they look normal.

BTW: $17 - $21 Freebies included!

do they put rain-x on your windshield as you use them?

No they are regular wipers, that just have a different design, to contour to the shape of the window, which cleans the window better.

I ended up ordering these because I was too lazy to go to the store.

I've had them on for a few weeks now and it has rained quite a bit. I think they work great. It could be because they're still new but so far I like them.

The only issue is that they don't touch the glass on the far edge of the passanger side. It's only about an inch which isn't a big deal. It'll make contact as the wiper moves up.

i have them and hate them. They like rub weird on the glass and seem to bounce.

yeah i noticed that too, the far right hangs off and flaps in the wind, but when it starts to move it touches the window fine.

there alot like the bosch icon wipers same idea. i needed new wipers and coul never find teh latitudes and noticed the icon are the same design- no metal pressure bars a single molded seems to be bent plastic.

i noticed they came stock on my dads cls550 we both love them, probably the only style wiper ill buy any more they are worth the extra 5-10$ per wiper over the other designs.
