in my experience so far... aftermarket wipers ****ing suck

after my first set of oem wipers, everything else is ****... everything else just smears or misses the ****ing water?

waste of money

Rain-X on your windshield and Rain-X wipers are a killer combo. Even with Ice on them they do well. Seriously its worth every penny.

Specialty Silicone Products makes a great winter wiper, but they don't come in our sizes! We need 19" & 21" and they are only manufacturing even sizes at the present.

They DO have some wild color combinations in their regular silicone line though

i picked some up at advanced auto the other day.. i had to bend them to make them fit the windshield.. they work a lot better though.. basicly the blade part is just thicker .. havent gotten to use it in real snow yet though.. just some fluffy stuff and some serious rain and road flyupcrapwaterickyness.. they have a rubber booty over them.. i have no idea why.. guess its suposed to keep snow from sticking to them or something.. but so far ive just noticed that it makes them lift from the windshield at 70+ mph... so i cut the boot thing off.. they have maybe one coat of paint on them.. and look like hell.. .so im going to paint mine this afternoon.. hopefully they will still work..

dont remember who they are made by.. but the company has a whole huge selection is every auto parts store ive ever been in.. the ones i got came in a blue plastic box with snowflakes or something on them..

We had a thread about this awhile ago where everyone went out and bought $50 aftermarket blades and said they were so much better, truth is a wiper blade is a wiper blade. It is a piece of rubber made to sher water and what not. I bought mine from walmart for $2 each and they do the job just fine.

i tried some canadian tire winter ones with teflon and they were crap. worse then OEM after a month. a good winter blede should be thicker and push down against the windsheild with more pressure. these ones were weaker then stock in doing that. I'm still keeping an eye out for decent winter wipers but i think i may just replace the OEM rubbers with some new OEM rubbers for $5 for honda.

I bought these Motomaster Winter no streaks from Canadian tire, they were great hte first seasion with no fogging up, but I used the winter blades through summer so they wore out, they were like $40 for the pair, gonna have to buy new ones, I cant stand streaks!

I use only cheapo Walmart RainX ones, go get the De-icer washer fluid... it helps.
