Don't buy multi-link/arm wipers. They're fine for most the year, but when winter comes and ice gets stuck in the hinges of the links, they don't do ****. One piece is where it's at.

I have tried Anco Contours, they were good for a few months and then started skittering across the glass. Then I got Bosch Icons and have had them for over a year now, and they are literally as smooth as the day I got them. Haven't tried the Rain-x one piece though.

EDIT: There's a whole thread on the Bosch's and Rain-X's somewhere, just search it up.

Thanks Matt. Didn't see anything on there though.

Bosch is great, but just make sure to stay on top of keeping them clean.

The rubber part of one of mine kinda cracked; and I think it's because it got dried out/contaminated (6 months). This goes for any wiper of course.

Yeah I've noticed that with my current blades.

4G Accords had the arm deflector on them. :coffee:

hmmm. Thanks Mike!

^There it be.

I may have mentioned this in that thread, but I got a 17" or 18" length passenger wiper instead of the factory 19". There was too much hanging off the far end of the glass where it curves in, the blade wasn't quite conforming to it. So the bottom 4 inches of the swipe didn't do anything, not that it's a problem. Just annoyed me, lol.
