Wiper Blade review thread.

[larafan]

well..i too doubted that armorall thing...till i tried it a while ago...


and it seems that it really works... ...albeit...when my blades were old...the cleaning and armoralling only lasted about 2 weeks........

[venum]

blades should be replaced every 6 months anyway so why try to make them last?

agreed

once yuh get good quality for 6 months yuh fine

some start working like crap after 3 week = Tovi

the HS I use give me 8 months easy

with teh extra $$ yuh spend for Michelins, yuh should get 1 yr comfortable

and it is only expected, with better quality

Michelin blades have held up extremely well, best blades I ever used

seconded

[MG Man]

what amazes me is men will spend good money on dotish rims, stickers, fake vents and illegal tint, but will cry and complain to buy new wipers

Take that back , and not in tech....that is all I have to say.

That is for the frameless style? If that is the price of the 20" that beat the socks off L&D price

I got the Michelin Optimum frameless wiper blades and installed them

TT$115.00 per blade @ Carplus on Cipero Street



the ones I have on teh L200 are 18"

treated teh glass with WAXCO Rain Act

same combo that I used with teh Michelin frame wipers that I had

will let you know how they work - teh review is on


I think they are made by Pylon

have a look at teh website:

i got the bosch icon framless wipers working great so far
keep the glass clean with invisible glass

[larafan]

i notice the one on the left side....(ride side when facing car) doesn't make contact with the windshield on the far end....



that happens with me as well....thats probably the one criticism of these blades that i have to date....

[venum]

^^^ that is true

it doesn't match teh curvature of the windshield at that end

it doesnt wipe a portion of teh glass there ~ 2" x 2"

while they are frame less, they are flexible but still miss some surface area

normal
The OEM wipers on my Mini don't make contact all the way to the edge when they are horizontal......keeping in mind that lower corner is relatively insignificant............the key point to remember is how well the blades WIPE

[Captainzaak]

2dmaxauto got them cheap man, delivery as well

Prices are as follows:

16" and 18" - $87.00
19" and 20" - 95 and
22" and 24" - $105

the blades i sell fits the edges better than the Michelin (compared them on the same kinda car). had a set on for about a year and still works great. have not had any complaints about them yet from anyone who bought

[air wick]

i just paid $97 - 18 and $104 - 20

Michelin optimum

[venum]

The Michelin frameless on 8 months now and wiping absolutely NO different from the very second that they installed

Damn great

Highly recommend them

[Racers Inspired]

michelin framless ftw!

[dmitc]

2 or $23 a pair for a no name brand by dollar saver and it go last me 6 months.
$23 lets say $30 X 4 = $120
$160 - $120 = $40
So that is a $40 that will go to gas

cant argue wid dat

A year later and the $23 a pair wiper still working well.
i may change it though since it starting to make noise.
i guess with inflation it might cost me around $25
i think i can afford that

[JM]

michelin framless ftw!

Does anyone else notice that they get dirty rather quickly?
Note its also vital u have the right size blade! otherwise the curavature wont fit. I also have the probelm with a small edge of the blade not making contact...annoying as it is...blades still gonig strong....
