    How about sizes? I seem to remember that upsizing and inch or two over stock resulted in better coverage -maybe for only one side?. But its been so many years that I don't even remember what I bought last time.

    Go Silicone!

    Silicone is the best material by far for wiper blades. I have used both PIAA and Silblade. I think Silblades are better.

    WyrreJ,

    17 & 24 seemed like a strange combo to me so I looked at the path/coverage after installing the new blades. The coverage seemed fairly complete & it looked like longer blades might actually hit each other at the bottom of the stroke. I'll stick with the stock size myself but others may have different opinions. I used to have a Samurai & the dinky little blades were hard to find (can't remember the size). I put larger ones on & they ended up digging into the rubber windshield seal.

    I just noticed today at work that one car has matching blue wiper blades so i check them out and it came out that it was SIlBlade so i took the car and told my friend to emulate rian with water hose and i was sitting inside car with wipers on checking how good they are but i was dissapointed because they were even worse then my current ones. I dont know if i will get new ones for 60 bucks pair they will be probly fine now but later who knows how they would be. They promising 5 year warranty and i dont think they can make it more then a year. My opinion price is too much for those.
    just my 2 cents

    The RainX are working fine so far. My daughter is driving the VX today & it's raining so I'll get her input.
