Is it bad to quote oneself>

Ok, after about a month.
Good:
I like the ability of these wipers to keep the windshield clean without steaks. Although there are some, at times. Less then the standard wiper.

Bad:
On both wipers now, the end cap becomes damaged. Passenger side, end cap came off at some point. Don't think it was me while brushing snow off the truck. Driver's side (today), the end cap was on but had been slightly chipped underneath. ON both, this allows the medle splines to widen, and the wiper basically splits open/frays its ends, and is just about useless. I also notice that ice can freeze up on it easily which affects how well it pouts pressure across the whole windshield.

So for sunner use, I like them much better. For winter, I am not sure. Sice I haven't used them thru a summer yet, I can't tell what is causing the end cap issue to fail.

oh, I'll try to get some pics in a few days.

I've put these wipers on both my H3 & the wifes Cadillac SRX. One of the wipers on the SRX is starting to chatter. No end cap problems yet.

So far, mine are performing flawlessly. Best wipers I have ever owned.

I keep alcohol wipes in my glove box. About every week i wipe my blades down with them. With all the crud on the road it definitely helps!
