Disposable wipers. Replaced after few rainy days.

Installed this pair 1.5 ago in preparation for NWestern winter. After a relatively dry September came October rains. Took the car on a 260mi round trip to BC during heavy rains. Watched in complete amazement how both blades detiriorated. Went from one small streak to two and then a day later to a completely smudged windshield. The downward swipe did not clear any water, just the upward one helped somewhat.
These blades have melted away diring a 3-day trip with mostly rainly weaher. They had never baked in the sun/heat as the car is garaged. I was completely puzzled to this this quality from a brand name like that.

These work, until it rains for a couple of days; then, they'll trip your breakers and you'll uninstall them.

Installation was easy and the blades fit into the J hooks securely. However, the wipers leave massive streaks on my windshield. Talking about  to the point where I have to strain my eyes to even see through the windshield.

Received items right before it started raining so I was super relieved that these wiper blades do a great job of wiping. I am not too car savvy so I was worried that I was going to have a hard time putting them on but it was actually very easy. Good deal.

The wipers work well if you can manage to get past the lack of rational instructions. The assortment of adapters are referenced in the provided materials but there's no real application information so you basically have to figure it out on your own. After the initial 5 minutes of running the wipers on the windshield dry, there was black material from the wiper blade built up on the edge of the swept area. It concerned me but after the first usage in rain it disappeared on its own. I had a pair of these years ago on another car and I seem to remember them working much better so I think they may have changed something over the years.

Nope :-(  Had high hopes for these wipers.  Installed a set on my 2015 Ford Explorer and they were great so I ordered sets for my 2013 BMW and 2009 Mini Cooper.  Again, great for the first couple weeks but over time the rain repellent wore off and the blades are leaving streaks.  Also, the film that rain-x leaves behind winds up making the window blurry when there is just a mist of rain (a little better in heavier rains).

After this experience, I did some research and will be looking for PIAA silicone wipers.

For years, I had been using RainX wiper blades on all of my cars. However, on my most recent vehicle (2004 Volvo S60 T5), I bought a set and after some heavy rain for a few weeks, the blades were already toast. I couldn't find the receipt (oops) so I couldn't easily return them. I did some research to see what other options were out there, and came across the Bosch Icons.

Worth noting: The 2001-2004 Volvos are listed as incompatible. This is simply not true. You just need to get the 421 (passenger) and 424 (driver) series blades. The only difference between A and B is the wind spoiler on the blades themselves, so I get the 421A and 424A blades for my car.

Immediately, you'll notice these blades work GREAT. There's zero chatter, no streaking and only a clean windshield ahead. By far, they are the best blades I have ever used. And since they have no frame, they work in the winter and the summer, regardless of climate/snow/rain/etc.

However, they will start to smear after awhile (once they start to "go"). At first, they'll be "smudgey" when it's a light rain, but when they get more water on them, they clean the glass fine, even with light rain. So they do get finicky about getting dirty. I suggest wiping them down whenever you notice this happening. Then, slowly, they'll start to smear even in the rain. On my previous set, they only smeared on the down (yuck), but not on the up. Eventually, they'll start to chatter, and you know it's time to swap.

I honestly didn't notice how long it took for them to go, but I was using my previous set of blades for 3.5 years, but they had been going for awhile. I just put it off. I'm pretty sure they were solid for a least a year or longer, possibly 2 years. I'll be paying more attention this go around.

Either way, if you want really good performance at the cost of replacing them occasionally, these blades are the ticket. I highly suggest them.

I've purchased the AutoTex wipers 3 previous times for my wife's van and my truck.  The wipers do an excellent job at clearing the windshield during the warmer months but don't seem to last long (haven't found a brand that does) especially in colder weather.  I typically get about 6-8 months use out of them but the last set I got didn't last that long.  One of the blades had and end cap fall off and the plastic latch that secures the blade to the arm kept popping up.  The issues I had were just with one blade and may have been caused by ice after a winter storm but the verdict is still out on these for use in the winter.

These were horrible...i bought a set...one 26 inch and one 16...the first rain that came after i installed them (today) made me regret that i got them....the 26 inch wiper would rub on the windshield like as if there was no water....it would rub and shake like it was going to break off...they only worked when i slowed the speed of the wiperblade but that meant that inbetween the wipes i could not see

All my wiper blades are purchased either from Amazon online or from Walmart.  I change it up sometimes, but also buy the same brand and model over again as well.

Of all the blades I've purchased in the last several years, these held up for the shortest amount of time.  I keep a log, so I know.  The rubber peeled away evenly from blade on both wiper blades at about the same time, which was roughly 4 months from June to end of September.  Not even winter use.  I was able to leave them on for a little longer because we are having a very light winter and they still worked just enough.  Others have pointed this out here on Amazon, although mine peeled away slightly differently than some of the photos I saw.

All my blades are used in a fairly dry climate, and that is a constant, but we do get a winter and sporadic heavy rain.  These just did not last as long, and the performance while they did last was only okay - not very good.  Only thing going for them is that they are not that expensive for a beam blade style wiper.

They do help, but not a lot. Wiper arm is starting to rust where support arm attaches after only 2 months.

I was pleased with their performance for exactly three month.  Then the rubber separated from the hardware. They probably saw actual rain probably 6 times.  I use rain-ex so I use my wipers much less than your normal user.  The rubber separating from the housing is completely unacceptable.  I have never even had that happen with the $4.00 cheap wipers from wal-mart ever.

Worked like a charm until it got rained on a few times.  Grrrrrr.....

All 3 wipers were a breeze to put on my 2006 Jeep Liberty Sport. Will return and deduct stars if I feel they don't hold up well enough

I live in the desert so it only rains a few times per year (actually got lucky enough to replace with these the first day it rained in months) but these worked better then my $22 rainex wipers and the metal frame makes them feel more sturdy. To be honest most of the time you get what you pay for but these are better then almost any more expensive pair I've used (used to live one the east coast where it rains a lot)

Retaining clip broke on the second day while wiper was in use on highway in very light drizzle causing it to slide back and forth on the rod and skip across the windshield.

The installation is incredibly easy with simple instructions and they are definitely a marked upgrade over factory wipers. Unfortunately they don't last very long before they start to wear out. I live in the south where it's very hot, and that likely could lend to their rapid deterioration. 5 stars for the ease of installation and how well they work in the beginning - 2 stars for how long they last.
