Relfex Wiper Blades....???

I saw a commercial for these last week and thought they were a good idea. So I went down to Crappy Tire to take a look at them and low and behold... they are completely sold out.
Anyone using these? I need new wipers and thought I could give these ones a try.... if I can find some.

There's no recall on them... they are actually all sold out. I asked a guy that worked there and he said they were sold out at all 3 Crappy Tires in London.

Yeah the crappy tire metal teflon ones blow. I have them on my car for 6 months and they're already ripped.

BTW... I also heard that the Bosh Silicon blades are good as well as the Piaa Silicon and Triple Edge blades.

I bought some of those teflon winter blades from crappy tire, they worked great first season and didnt streak, but second season there just junk, perhaps because I didnt change em i nthe summer. Ah well

I have a pair of the Reflex blades, they are much better than the Teflon Winter blades I had. You'll need to clear the ice off though every now and then, but they work great...
