Picked up a pair of Goodyear Assurance wiper blades (Cosco had a buy one get one free coupon). Installed them today and tested them out...they work great. They flex to the shape of the windshield and leave it streak-free! If your in need of new blades you might want to check these out.:thumbup::thumbup:
Billy, how do they work in the snow? It's starting to get cold up here, the snow will by flying soon, and I need new wiper blades. If you could find some snow down there in Arizona and test them out for me that would be great.:biggringr
They are snow rated...have the little snowflake emblem on the package:bwgy:
Excellent, that should come in handy for you. :p
Testimony from some first hand experience with them in the snow would be great, but I may just have to check them out without it.
Thanks for the review.
It will probably be a while before mine see snow!:bwgy:
I wonder who actually makes the wipers? Any indication on the packaging? Ive seen one piece wipers by bosch, anco, rain-x, michelin, goodyear and valvoline.. I cant imagine they all manufacture their own..
I have heard good things about all of them. Nice deal on the ones you got! I just picked up the valvoline version at 40% off plus another 10 percent during a 3 hour sale
I've been using these for a few months now and like them. Did you buy the sizes recommended by Goodyear? IIRC the book they had attached to the display in Costco said to use a 24" wiper for the driver's side and a 17" wiper for the passenger's side. It seemed that the driver's side wiper was a little too long. I noticed that when the wipers were at the end of their "wipe" across the windshield that the end of the wiper would lift away from the top of the windshield. I switched to a 22" for the driver's side and it seems to work a little better.
I've used the Rain-X for a few years and I love them. No streaks in the rain and exceptional in the ice and snow.
Only problem that I ever had was that the ends have a tendancy to come off if your not careful when you wash your vehicle.
How well do they stand up to the FL love bugs?
I don't think anything can handle those things except a squeegee with a strong handle so you can scrub hard...Quote:
