Holy shit steak on rye........I was just looking online to get new wiper blades similiar to Volvo's blades. And those look EXACTLY like them.

Thanks OLDMAN.



EDIT: What website do you go to buy them at or what stores sell em? I don't remember seeing those at a Autozone.

EDIT #2: Nevermind, I followed the url link from the picture and brought me to the site.

rain-x should never be used on a windshield.

your retarded....in this post onlly


oldman as for those blades...those are identical to the trico innovision and the problem is they are too flimsy although nice...

anco is just now releasing their version of these blades called the contour...way way better...much beefier blade and has a wing kind of built in and not such a huge ugly connector piece...check em out will run you about 19.95 per blade

it screws up the surface tension required to get a clean wipe with a blade. it should only be used on glass surfaces that don't have wipers (side windows, back window, mirrors)

:edit:

there is also a hydro-phobic effect, rain-x creates perfect water beads. these beads act like lenses and can cause major glare.

ya he's correct. using something like rain-x or any type of paint sealant on the windshield will cause your wiper blades to chatter and skip under use.

rain-x works fine if you don't plan on using your wipers or don't have any at all

better yet, i'll just say it highly increase the likelihood that such thing could happen :squint:

a good sealant will cause issues. rain x just fails at life h:
