I had these for over 6 months now? They streak a little now but they're lasting longer than the Micro Edge Excel. The good thing about these is that unlike the Micro Edge Excel, the blades don't have stress points every few inches from the arch members of the blade.

I've had these for about 7 months now, and they haven't started to streak or do anything like that. At high speed they don't chatter or skip. Every now and then due to the Rain-X that I have they hop for an inch or two but very rarely. The only problem I noticed is that if it's like 10°F they bounce really bad because they rock solid until they warm up. The one thing that I did like about crap wipers is that since they sit higher they are able to move snow a little more.

just an FYI about my blade buying experience
I bought these blades about 1 month and a half ago and when i first put them on they were great. A week later i started seeing a huge water streak for the driver side blade right in the middle of the windshield. I was really pissed off because i saw that autozone had them as buy one get one free (after MIR) but i bought them for about 40 together before autozone had the sale. I called up bosch and a lady told me that she was just a dispatcher but she took down my information and told me someone would call me back soon. Literally one minute later someone called back and told me that autozone probably had those blades sitting on the shelf too long and that they did not circulate stock enough (he also said that driver side blade is uncommon and people dont buy it often) and he told me that they would ship me a new blade for free.

glad to hear they are taking care of you....my wife's car '07 Honda Fit has these kind OEM and altho they look sweet....they don't work better IMO....seems like they are too soft and degrade too quickly....i might try these bosch ones to replace them if i see them on sale

They are worth it, I've been running them since the day I posted the review and I'm in the NW so it rains all year round. They work perfect still no streaking.

Almost every car I've driven, I've been unhappy with the wiper blades. First thing I did to my new Accord was put these guys on. Very happy camper now!
