Product Description
Rain-X Latitude wiper blades are designed with a new curved-blade technology and low profile, aerodynamic frame with built-in spoiler to prevent wind lift, reduce drag and noise. Because the frame is encased in rubber, exposed metal components are eliminated and so is ice and snow build-up. This feature also increases wiper blade flexibility and adherence, so the wiper blade hugs the windshield, even in harsh winter conditions. Rain-X Latitude wiper blades consistently deliver a smooth, clean, chatter-free wipe through its contoured design, that applies even pressure along the entire blade length. They are made with chloroprene rubber, which is harder, stronger, more durable and more thermal resistant than natural rubber. The blade is also graphite-coated to reduce friction and increase adhesion to the windshield. Rain-X Latitude wiper blades are the clear choice for winters!

 Good product June 15, 2008

I have those wipers for about 3 weeks now. Used them in some heavy rain and I'm quite satisfied. Windshield is clean, no misty white fog left by wipers. With heavy rain and higher speed, as left wiper goes down from the most top position by the pillar, some water is pulled back on the windshield (maybe 2-3 inches into the windshield). Some aerodynamics issues? But it happens at higher speed, and wind pushes water back to the side in split second. Since it's summer, I can't confirm or deny what I read about end caps coming off as snow and ice accumulate on the wiper.
I will find out in couple of months.
If you decide to buy, do it here at Amazon. Rain-x states "allow 2-4 weeks for delivery". I canceled their order after 7 weeks; wipers from Amazon arrived after 3 days. And it was a lot cheaper too.
Overall this is decent wiper, I'll use it from now on.

35 plus years of driving and I finally find a replacement wiper that actually works. Not only do they work, they work so well that my wife thanks me every time she has to go someplace. Whether its raining or she just needs to clean the windshield...she hasn't been happier with results than with these wipers. You can't go wrong with these...and although the price may be on the high side I'm sure you'll be happy with them.

They clean significantly better than my old (new) wipers and I was amazed at how quiet they are - no noise! I got a pair for my wife who also loves them. Great product!
Outstanding wipers. January 30, 2009

I purchased these during a special on Amazon that made them incredibly cheap for wipers. These are probably the best wipers I've used. The only thing I found was that the instructions weren't exactly self explanatory for what connectors to use for you vehicle type. After playing around for a bit I was able to get them correctly installed and they do a fantastic job of staying glued to the windshield and keeping it clear.
