:?: Been almost a year James, how are these holding up?


:?: Did anyone else buy these?


I see Sierra no longer stocks them.

Holding up well. Starting to get small streaks here and there on the windscreen when wiping.

On the other hand, I tried out a new windshield washer fluid for the winter, it's a prestone de-icer. Not very happy with it so far. Thinking I want to empty it out and refill with rain-x again.

I got these back in January and mine are streaking pretty bad, need to replace mine soon. At first they were awesome, but can't say that at the moment. Not sure if I'll be going with these again. I've been using Rain-X. Got mine from Amazon.

I'm due to replace several sets of wiper blades. Have to give these a try.

So far, the Rain-X blades work the best for me -- just the plain ones, not the Icon style. I've had nothing but bad luck with any Bosch blades, including the Icon. Waste of money IMHO.

LOVE the Rain-X washer fluid. Will never run without it again! I prefer that to the standard Rain-X application, which often left the window streaky for quite a while.

Thanks for the review!

yeah, the RainX washer fluid is the bomb.
I also like the winter version with the de-icer but it seems to streak the side windows.

Another one of those things on the Piaa wiper instructions.... Clean the rubber blade periodically with an alcohol pad..

Makes a big difference on my old cheapies too....

Thanks, I've been meaning to wipe them down, but I never remember at the right times.

when I am washing my TB, I always flip the wipers out and hit them with the soapy brush. It is amazing how filthy they get.
