seeking the good windshield wiper

[Nissan2anAccord]

just found this thread, and i purchased bosch icons after test driving my new accord in the april rains of IL and seeings nothing but streaks... or patchs missing... that was literally the first thing i did within a week of having the car in my name was change the blades... anyway now its 8months later and the icons arent doing so hot... particularly on the passenger side... i have a whole 4-6inch part of the windshield the passenger side doesnt touch and the tip of the blade has a tear growing...

due to the area i am in (woods) the design of the arm for the blade allows little bugs and what not to get pinched under the blade in the summer and would strick at any moisture on window... but more foten than not they did the job well... and with this winters salt content on the roads i may be due to change them again soon if they get any worse...

im going to try something different than icon's though... might give those michelins a shot...

Man everybody hatin' on the Rain X blades. I put some Rain X Repels on my coupe and they are the best wipers i've ever had on a car.

i have rain-x latitudes on my 00 sedan, I love those things. also try using the rain-x window cleaner, the one that has the water repellent in it. works great IMO
