I think the previous owner used those Canadian Tire Reflex wipers.. which were kinda flimsy, one blade... when the drivers side wiper moved all the way out, it would bend and the non-blade part would slap the windshield.. every time. This was verrrrry annoying.

Also, do any of you use these blades in cold temps? I read a review where someone was complaining about them breaking in the cold.

 

-20F here and the Icons work well.

 

How do you get the passenger side wiper arm fully up? When I try, it scrapes the hood.

 

Turn the car on so accessories work (either to I or II position, but don't crank the engine) and then turn on your wipers. When the wipers go between half way and full, just turn the car completely off. Now you can pull up the wiper arm completely.

 

why doesnt anybody sell the rain-x lattitudes? (autozone, advanced, walmart)

Yeah, just turn the car off after the wipers are half way up...

 

Didnt think of that lol. Thanks.

 

if you guys do buy the icons, watch out for the redesigned ones. i bought a pair to replace my worn icons and had one new one, and one old one, so i took them back. the bracket on the new ones have more of a curve. and for those who cant change the passenger wiper when its parked in the down postion, it can be done..i changed my icons in like 10 seconds lol
