Another Oddball Post... Favorite Brand Of Wiper Blades?
Topic 17970 | Page 1
I have some on my Truck that I got from the Swift Parts Counter. I'm sure the cheapest ones money can buy. Seem to work just fine. I also Rain X the windshield every few weeks. That stuff is worth its weight in gold. It is very important to follow the instructions word for word. Do not just spray it on willy nilly and expect proper results. Once you drive in the rain with a properly RainX'ed windshield, you will never know how you lived without it.
Goodyear. $7.99 at Costco.
In the spring and summer I bought the scrubbers for the bugs...send a cash PO macro to RA and they will reimburse you.
However...the ones they just gave me at the terminal for winter are freaking amazing!!! They have a plastic wrapping on them that keeps the ice from forming on the blades. Every time I go into the terminal I pick up a new set. I made it all the way through WY a few times and buffalo snow and never got stuck or iced ;)
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
RainX Latitude blades, RainX Washer Fluid, RainX Washer Fluid Additive, and treat all the glass with RainX.
But for the winter, I would stock up on cheap(er) ones - because the ice and grime tear them up.

I am with Rainy, my "cold weather" wiper blades my company installed during my last service are absolutely amazing.

Good information here but take it with a grain of salt.... this guy lives in Florida 
No CWC, Rick lives in SOUTHERN Florida. i am sure it has been a long time since Rick has seen white stuff on the ground. I am sure all the Rain-X is great during Hurricane evacuations.
Sorry Rick, I had to rib on ya a bit.

I can already see that I am going to have the same luck with choosing replacement wiper blades on my truck as I have on my car. What brand do you suggest? No streaking, no cracking, good coverage, flat on the glass, no bouncing, holds up to ice and snow. I absolutely HATE a dirty windshield, both inside and out. Any suggestions out there?
