Just curious what everyone's experiences with different brands are. I still have my factory wipers, but I've removed them on both trucks in favor of the beam style blades with no frame. I like the way they look and the fact that they don't ice up nearly as bad as the factory style in the winter. My problem is they don't seem to last terribly long, and there's about an inch or so on the far passenger side of the windshield that they just can't clean for some reason. I've tried two brands. First was Rain-X Latitudes, which were junk. Worked OK for about 3-4 months and then started streaking terribly. After that I switched to Bosch Icons. Much better than the Rain-X brand, but still only last me around 9-10 months before streaking and still have that little bit of dead spot on the passenger side. I'm thinking of trying the Trico Force blades. Look like a fancy version of the Bosch Icons. Anyone have any experience with them? I'm open to any input. If this is just one of those un-solveable design problems then I have no problem throwing the factory blades back on and just buying the refills. Let me know what you think.
