Don't buy RainX Silicone Eundura Blades

[Wytchdctr]

They work great and fit... but they raise the wiper arm just enough to block the sprayer on the driver's side.

That was annoying.

Don't get them unless you live where bugs don't or something. If you do and need blades. I've got a pair for the cost of shipping. Not sure why I didn't toss them yesterday.

If the sprayer attached to the hood has an adjustment I didnt see it. Maybe the old needle trick?


Either way, I got stock blades for way cheaper, shipped to my door from @LevittownFordParts.com (Along with a cabin air filter because summer in Texas is here for sure.. need that working at its best)

(Not sure why I added a U... Endura....)

My 19 Ranger did not need anything special to adjust the wiper arm itself if the washer is not able to be adjusted. I just needed to take the bolt off and its an interference fit. they may have changed that on the later models though.

I wouldn't run anything other than Bosch Icon blades. Yeah they're spendy, but you get your money's worth out of them. I've had sets in the past that survived over 3 years, and thats in a Washington winter which is constant rain.

RainX are usually ok tho. But don't waste your money on ScrubBlade's, tried a set and didn't even get a year out of them before they started to smear.

Got three years on stock blades, and only replaced them because I bought a spare set, to be on safe side...

I did the RainX Endura Blades... lasted 3 months. They were awful. Streaked right thru the driver's sight line too. I went with Bosch and have been much better.

Bosch.
Yup, me too.
I'm not sure they really last as long as others, but they really keep my windshield streak clear for many months (I don't know about years).

I generally replace wipers every year.
Probably a waste of money, but I don't care. I want the wipers perfect when I need them.
I need all the help I can get with dealing with today's drivers, especially in the rain! ?
And I hate old wipers that make a bumping noise doing their job.

My stock blades were working great until one took a hit from hail and it split the blade. I am glad I needed wipers blades vs a new windshield.

After that storm I kept hearing a tick when I turned the wipers on. It finally got on my nerves and checked. Split.. ah well. Hopefully the set I just got lasts a few years. Even with the split they were still working but the tick/pop sound was getting old.

I have the Bosch Focus and they have lasted almost 2 years of Florida Gulf Coast rainstorms. I will be replacing them soon they are starting to leave the window hazing, but they really are fantastic. My OEM blades lasted 6 months before they were streaking.

Ya wanna save a little money? Dumb question, what Polack doesn't! ?

Hit them with some Graphene once a year and they'll last longer. Seriously, I hit my '19 with Graphene and the stock wipers were still good after 4 years baking in our sun/heat. They might not last that long with winters there (freezing rain and ice will probably degrade them faster) but you should still get a coup0le good years out of them.

The first thing I replaced was the OEM wiper blades...they chattered and streaked badly...that was 100K miles ago...believe it or not, the Rain X Latitude is still working well...granted, I try not to drive in the rain but take that for what ever it's worth...

As for sprayer hitting the wiper, I've never noticed...it it did it would be for a split second until the blade starts moving...not an issue for me...

The silicone blades connector is noticeably bigger than stock or other rainX if i remember right. Mine sprayed everything but the windshield unless I tricked it.

Tap it, then once the blade started up/moving... hold it down so it would get some on the glass before the arm made its way back down.

So stupid question.. how many of you actually clean the blades when/after your car wash? Just a good wipe down will go a long way but occasionally treating them even further. Hey I’m not a meticulous detailer like some Daves I know but it literally takes seconds..

Definitely agree with the Bosch wiper blades being the only ones I will ever buy! I've tried EVERY other high quality brands and was ALWAYS disappointed
