Rain-X 5079281-2 Latitude 2-In-1 Wiper Blades, 26 Inch Windshield Wipers (Pack Of 1), Automotive Replacement Windshield Wiper Blades With Patented Rain-X Water Repellency Formula

It reached that time again where I needed to replace my windshield wiper blades. I searched online for the best options. Originally I was going to go with one that said that it would last for 2 years, but the price was higher and I wasn't as confident that it could actually make the two-year mark. So I decided to go with something a little bit more tried and true. When this showed up was just after I arrived home from an overtime shift. I could have waited but decided to head right out and replace the blades for my Drive-In first thing in the morning. There is a QR code that can be scanned and a physical instruction manual, both of which I ignored because how complicated could it be to install windshield wiper blades. This product can be used on the different types of arms for the vehicle and you break the plastic in a certain way to fit your type of vehicle. Needless to say I did need the instruction sheet as this was my first time using this specific type of product versus the dirt cheap wiper blades that I normally purchase. Additionally I find myself slightly embarrassed as I thought the yellow strip were the wiper section of the product. It is in fact a harder plastic guard that needs to be removed before you use the product. It actually says in small black lettering on the yellow protective piece that you should remove it before use. Stupid does not exactly begin to describe how I felt Once I arrived at work with those plastic guards still on. I did remove them at that point and am satisfied with the product. I don't know about the supposed Rain-X chemical that is supposed to be on the blades, but then I am putting them on at the beginning of Summer so we'll see.

The instructions are simple and the video makes it easy to follow. I fully understood how to install the wiper blades. However, it's definitely not as easy as the video makes it look. It took a little while to get them installed. It seems to require a little more effort (force) than you would think. After getting them installed and running, I can definitely see the difference. I'm sure they will work well in the rain, but I haven't used them yet, so for now I will give this product 4 stars and come back to update on a rainy day to 5 if they're worth it.They're really good wipers! Updated to 5 stars. Windshield remain crystal clear during the storm.

So the minor detail is that of all 3 orders I placed for these, within several uses, they built up this gunk like material on the blades themselves. I wiped it off and it was a lot that came off the blades. I've heard of people having issues with these from the reviews, so I'm not sure how credible those issues are, but it also might be related to this black gunk that gets built up on the blade. I suggest cleaning that off because it shows up within a few uses.This wiper blade though has been tested by different places to be one of the best values to performance on the market. It's consistently the most recommended blade that's not overly expensive like the bosche icon is.

I’m only knocking 1 star due to installation instructions. I’ve replaced a wiper or two in my time on various vehicles, old and new, and between me and a friend we still managed to nearly break one of the plastic pieces where the wipers latch on.I figured it would be obvious and straightforward but these definitely perplexed me until installed correctly. Just seems overly fiddly.Wipers themselves are great!! No slipping or skipping. They hug the glass tight and smooth and I can actually notice the RainX being deposited and causing water to bead up and not streak. Planning to apply actual RainX to all my cars’ windows but this is a solid start and improvement from plain replacements.Good value for $$

I purchased the RainX Latitude 2-in-1 Wiper Blades for my 2022 Tacoma TRD Sport about a week ago, and I was surprised at the ease of installation compared to other models and brands that I have used in the past. The fit was perfect and so far it has rained twice and they have done the trick for rain resistance. Overall, great value for the money and ease of installation made the purchase worthwhile. I would recommend!
