What people don;t realize, u have to clean your wiper blades every 2 to 3 weeks. So they don't rip apart due to fragments/dirt driving themselves deeper into the rubber!! I take a towel and spray windex and wipe up and down on my wipers every 2 weeks. helps the life of them x2. I reject your reality and substitute my own.

I can't see if there is any glare. This combination can't be beat. 1999 Black Contour V6 5 speed. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2072975/

They look kinda goofy at first but up till 1XX MPH they stay planted on the windshiled and work flawlessly.

The same here. I started using these in 2001 at the recommendation of CEGers. I tried using RainX brand once because I was cheap, but the quality was far less than I was used to with the Microedge Excels. Now on whenever I buy a car I immediately replace the windshield wipers with Excels (the only exception being my Maxima since the previous owner had put new wipers on it recently). I even got my parents hooked on these; all of their vehicles now sport Bosches. Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX

I had to drive with my head out the window in the rain at 10mph for 15 miles to get to the nearest Walmart. [color:"green"]-Matt R '99 Tropic Green LX, Zetec, ATX

The only complaint I have is that they have faded pretty bad because the skeleton is plastic, not metal like the Bosch or Anco. I ove tejh wing though, completely functional, improved downforce is our friend! I am curious to see what the bodyless wipers look like on the car. After 18 months with the PIAA's its time for replacement. I may get some of them for my truck regardless, but if you can get some more pics on the tour, I might be sold! 2000 SVT Contour - Silver # 1675/2150 For Sale195/55/15 Bridgestone Blizzaks on Steelies <10k miles - $300 PM me for more info
