I saw an advertisement for Rain-X windshield wipers. So I went to there website and they don't have any info on them. Does anyone have these. I currently have Bosche and they are very loud and its almost like they are too sticky if there such a think. They make an annoying sound. If anyone knows anything about this product let me know.
Thanks

No way. Never get those. My dad worked for Bosch for 21 years, and the Micro Edge Excel are the best on the market. Trust me. The tests have always shown their superiority.

I have those wipers on my car right now, and they are very loud. Especially when its slightly raining. other than that they are great.

Just didn't know how these would be. Anyone actually have them.

Justin

I highly recommend the Bosch Micro Edge Excels!!! Nothing does compare.

BTW - My dad doesn't work there either...

Do you ever clean your wiper blades? Loud blades are normally dirty blades (rubber) or winshield loaded with road grime (do a real window cleaning not the normal wipe and go most people do)

Do you have the Bosch Excels or just the normal bosch? (normals are no where near the excels!)

I have el cheapo plylon or whatever and change them every 3 months ($3 at walmart) according to the severe duty maint. schedule.
Also, rain-x makes pink winter and green summer windshield washer fluid and if you use it, you don't have to use your wipers much unless you drive thru a hurricane/mud bog/behind a coal burning truck
