3 years - 3 months... still on the OEM wipers. But she doesn't go out in the rain often. (and with RainX applied... who uses the wipers anyway?) I'll be looking for these now though. I dig all things RainX so far.

Don't they still have the articulated metal arms though?

The coolest features on the Rain-X is that they are streamlined one-piece which looks great installed and maintains a good molding shape to the windshield. Easier to flip-up when washing your windshield at the gas station too. ;)

I haven't seen their premium ones yet, but I have their other ones (basic, I guess?). My right one works perfectly and my left one doesn't work too well. It keeps skipping and leaving huge streaks on the down sweep. Factory defect, I guess :( .

There should a catalog for wipers just about anywhere that sells wipers (Pep Boys, Walmart).

Aquapel > Rain-x all day everyday.

Aquapel + Silblade Flexblade > Rain-x + Rain-X Premium.

I sell both, and The Rain-x ones aren't bad, maybe a 8/10, but Silblade is 10/10 for us.

Bought the rainx wipers for my moms car they work great in the snow. I like them because they don't get a clogged up with snow and ice. But I tend to use winter wipers anyway.

Mine are doing fine with the lovely Chicago weather. High of 3 one day, high of 54 a week later. pfft. You'll love the RainX wipers, and if you're skeptical, grab just the big one for the driver's side for starters. When you see the diff, you'll be sold. My truck has the left wiper Rainx and the right is some cheapie. The streak free rainx side is amazing.
