    Using new Silblade "Flexblades" and I like them a lot. Old standard Silblades lasted about 4 years.
    VX's don't need no stinking mod's.
    But they're sure fun!

    I just purchased the Rain-X latitude blades for $7 a piece - $13 off sale. Have not installed yet so I do not know how they perform.

    Yup - the Rain-X worked good for almost a year ... but just noticed the other day that the passenger side rubber tore almost 2 inches.

    Guess I'd better start googling PIAA.

    Pepino - I don't have any trouble getting my drivers side off, as a matter of fact it falls off everytime I lift the wiper away from the windshield. Maybe PO did have troubles & bent it in the past???

    I used to be a big fan of Valeo wipers, but that's all over. These are the ones that replace the lattice-work of hinged arms on a normal wiper with a blade reinforced with strips of spring steel to keep them on the glass.

    I found that the plastic mounts get brittle in the winter and fall apart. Bosch came out with a similar design, but I haven't tried them out yet.
