FYI, Consumer Reports rated the Rain-X latitudes better than the Bocsh. They basically said buy the cheaper blades and replace them more often. Although, I personally like the style of the Bocsh better.

The Rain-X's just don't do it for me like Bosches do. Rain-X's have always given me streaking issues and have falling apart on two separate occasions, the end cap came off and the blade came out.

I would buy the $7 Goodyear Assurance blades from Costco before I buy Rain-X again.

I know, I know Fred. I'm a cheap ass.

Honestly, I'd get the PIAA's if they were the best. What kills me is how much some companies get just by putting their name on something. And often it's an inferior product.


Ok---at the risk to my reputation of only going with performance then $$$ I will go out on a limb here. Rain X are a great value and are on the Raptor now. I just last weekend put PIAA on the Jeep. Have had all of the ones listed and the PIAA while expensive are the best performing. Would not give you a nickel for the lights or bulbs period:favorites68:.

Will put PIAA on the Raptor in a couple of months but to help them I add the Rain X additive to my washer fluid. To tell the truth when driving on the highway I do not even have to use my wipers the water just flies off.

Just my .02....

I have used the bosch old style(the open frame) for a while, thats all I used on my jeep and 250. they lasted me 3 years on the jeep!! now I use the goodyear ones from costco because it is more convenient and I really like them.

I am still waiting for the damn nano coatings to make it to market in the US so this all becomes pointless.

I'll recommend the Bosch blades as well. I've had 2 pairs on my Titan. Like the low-profile look and the design actually does keep them planted at highway speeds. I'll be putting a set on the Raptor.
