I heard about these rain eater wipers and was wondering if anyone had or has them and what they think of them? Thanks

Made in china, over priced IMO. I'm not fond if the hybrid construction either.

Many will recommend bosch icons. I don't have to deal with snow or ice though so i go for acdelco professional performance blades. 6 bucks each and they perform like mopar oe blades and are good in the rain. I live near seattle wa so i need a decent blade but they also get replaced frequently to ensure peak performance.

No matter the brand... regular replacement is the key. Nothing will last forever.

Yea true.. I have the rain x latitudes now and they chatter real bad when it's cold and highway speeds.. Other than that they work great and lasted long, just was looking for some other options and maybe less chatter.

2 aquapel at 6 month interval. You will almost never need your wiper.

I live in place where they put so much salt on the road, and if you live in a place like that you will know how much windshield washer you will need in a winter. With the aquapel I don't use more a gallon per year. Dirt and water don't stay on the windshield at least there is a huge difference with it. You can get them on internet for around 5-6$ each, so we are talking about 20$ per year ( I recommend you 1 per half side of the Wind shield ) And the first shot will last a little bit less than 6 month.


I have crappy walmart all season wiper and I don't need them so much with the aquapel especially on the highway.

I have installed the Bosch Icon wipers as well as applied aquapel on all 4 of my families autos and received nothing but a handful of Thank Yous! Started doing this 2 winters ago...

My Ram and the Wifes Edge spends alot of the time in the garage and not in the sun... I have noticed the Sun really abuses the windshield wipers... I have always had to replace the kids wipers first due to their autos never spend any time in the garage... {Out of the Sun}...

Thanks for all the replies. I will give the icons a try and look into getting some of that aquapel. Saw a YouTube video reviewing the aquapel and it looks impressive.

It's impressive, honestly you will never go back after put this on your windshield. Even the calcium don't stick too much on the windshield with it.

I've had Bosch Icon's on mine for the last 6 months, can't say I'm too impressed by them, never were that great from the start, they're decent, but that's it.

Purchased those Michelin hybrid wipers from Costco and my wife made me return them. They were horrible in her application and and I agreed after I saw them in action. They are one of the few things I will never purchase again.
