  • What's the best Wiper Blades?

    I currently have rainx latitude and they've been a little disappointing. They work great when driving average speeds but once your really moving at highway speeds they really catch the wind and lift off the windshield. They have also worn down pretty quick and are now leaving a what looks like a film across the whole windshield and need to be replaced with something better! So what have you guys found to be the best?

      I still swear by the RainX Latitude. I had them on the G6 and I have them on the GTO. If you order online you can get the RainX Repelant stuff you spray on the windshield which really makes a difference too.

          i also have the rain-x latitude. they work good, cheaper (not by much) then stock. the only thing i really dont like is they sit a little higher then stock, but seem to last much longer then stock.

            I just put a set of Bosch on my car and was initially disappointed because the drivers side seemed to lift at speeds over 45 mph. I removed the blade and bent it the opposite way until it was bowed just slightly beyond its normal rested position. When I put it back on it has been fine ever since. I have had them two months now and am pleased overall.

              Michelin Radius here, no problems and they seem to last quite a while.

              There's also at least one or two other threads with alot more input, not sure under what though.

                wtf? I have an early 08 3.5l and i bought rainx lat. and they didnt fit. I went to advanced auto and they couldnt find a single set that would fit my adapters. I had to go to the gm dealer and they charged me $28 for 1 i couldn't even afford to replace the other...... so lame

                  they have two different hook up/ latch systems for the G6, make sure you get the right one for the right year you have.

                          I had the same problem. Nothing at autozone would fit. Though the dealership charged me $20 a blade for new stock wipers (same price as the rainx latitudes) I love the stock blades, they work amazing.

                              Last fall I upgraded my wipers on my 2005 G6 to Trico NeoForm Beam Blades that have a teflon coating. Here's my review: They wipe clean and are very quiet (probably because of the teflon). Performed well in fall and winter (in wisconsin) and so far so good in spring. They came with step-by-step removal and replacement instructions and were an easy installation. BTW, I just received an email from wipers123 where I purchased mine, and there's currently a $15 rebate through 5/15/10 and an additional $5 coupon "springreturningcustomer". I'm not ready to replace mine yet, so take it if you want it... I thought I'd pass this along!
