Rain-X 5079279-1 Latitude Wiper Blade - 22" (Pack of 1)

Rain X wipers are great wipers. They’re easy to install, fit nicely and look great. They’re durable and have superior visibility

I have a 1998 Chevy Malibu, and oddly it uses different sized blades. I purchased this 22 and 20 inch wiper blades; 22 for the driver's side and 20 for the passenger side. My old blades were about two years old at this point, and sorely in need of replacement. They streaked very badly and made noise, so I finally got around to replacing them. I had a bit of a time getting the old one off; on the driver side it had a clip and a lock that made it difficult to figure out how to get it off (I still have the car manual and it was no help whatsoever; it doesn't even list the size for the blades, I had to look up the size online). On the passenger side the blade didn't have a lock so it took me even longer to figure out that all I had to do was slide it off. Once I got them off, the new blades hook right on it. No clips, no nothing, I didn't even have to add any of the additional pieces that come with the blade. Slipped the hook of the blade mechanism over the blade, set it down on the glass, and I was done. I'm six months pregnant and in two seconds I had the new blade on (after fiddling with getting the old one off for five minutes). I turned the cleaning mechanism on when I was done putting both blades in, and they smoothly wipe across the glass with no streak or noise. If I have any issues when I use them in the rain, I will be sure to update my review. I did notice these blades were much curvier than my old ones, and they do seem to hug the window much more. Also, the blade comes with a clear plastic piece over the rubber so be sure to take that off before putting the blade on (my son was handing me the blade with the plastic piece on; he didn't realize it wasn't part of the blade). Will definitely buy again when it's time to replace them!

I am only writing this review because my experience is so contrary to some of the negative reviews I have seen here. I installed these blades on two of my vehicles over three years ago. I have just ordered a replacement set because they are starting to streak a little and since the old ones can be transferred to another 'utility' vehicle that truly need blades, the cost is thus truly negligible. I've installed them on several vehicles (18 - 26") and never had any difficulty after reading the instructions. I can see where they might not be suitable for some vehicles with extremely curved windshields. My uncle had, I believe, a Studebaker back in the late '50's that no blade, including the one that came on it new, could fully clean, but I have had no problems with these blades in any regard, except that, as another reviewer noted, they don't work well on a dry windshield. I shouldn't ever even do that, but we are blessed with excessive pine trees and I occasionally 'sweep' the straw off the window with the blades. That almost always necessitates then using the windshield washer copiously to wash off the oil/dirt streaks left on the windshield. This does point out that these blades do work best (to an even greater degree than most) with a clean windshield, but all that entails is a willingness to splurge a little with the windshield washer fluid. It may be my imagination, but they seem to work better in this regard with the Rain-X or Prestone fluid than some others I have tried.

As an avid driver in all weather conditions-I doubt you cannot place too much emphasis on wipers. These wipers are the best and quietest I have ever used in over 35 years of driving. I mean if they were a woman I would marry them. Unlike a wife they are amazingly quiet and do the job without complaining. Not sure if we will get any snow this late in the season to observe if the snow does not stick to the frame/blades as advertised.They do the job soo quietly and efficiently I have to remember they are on. I parked today and just sat there for a moment enjoying the quiet. Never had wipers that worked this good. Has only been one week but if it gets me thru the Spring I will be overjoyed compared to all the others. Relatively simple to install-even for the challenged Worth the money.

This is a very good wiper blade. It came at the estimated time and was packaged well.

The wipers that came on my 2015 Jeep Cherokee weren't great, to say the least. They streaked, they were noisy, and just didn't get the job done.I saw a deal on some Anko wipers and thought they'd be a great replacement. Wrong. Those really weren't any better. I actually began wondering if there was something defective about the wiper arms on the car as the streaking was terrible and actually made it really difficult to see in the rain.Someone then recommended these Rain-X wipers to me and I figured it was worth a shot. They cost a bit more than the Ankos but immediately after installing them (which is simple, by the way and comes with all the attachments you may or may not need depending on your car) I realized they were much higher quality. The blade forms to the windshield perfectly and, best of all, left no streaking on the windshield. They just work, and work well.Overall, I'm really happy with the quality of these wipers and will definitely be purchasing these next time I need wipers for a vehicle.
