What brand wiper blades?

Consumer Reports recommends the Valeo 600 Series or the Rain X Lattirude.

Anyone here have experience with either of these or other blades?

I've used Rain X Latitudes, but not on the TSX. I have Bosch Icons on my TSX. Very pleased

I have the Rain X lattitudes on other vehicles and they work great in all seasons, no chatter, no streaking, no missed spots. My OEM blades on the TSX still work fine, however, I will replace with the Rain X when it is due.

i agree with the icons, just watch out for the redesigned ones. the bracket is different as are the outer edges. i replaced my icons and one new and one old design. , took them back for matching pairs and i couldnt be happier

I like the Valeo Ultimates (900 series) that you can buy from TireRack. They're about $28 shipped for a pair.

Can one of you guys please tell me what size wiper refills the '09 takes? I've been looking to replace mine because they're streaking, but no store seems to have a book telling you what size to use and the owner's manual doesn't seem to tell you either.
