Default rain x latitude wiper blades

Anyone use these? Do they work, or do they suck? Thinking about getting a pair, my original stock ones are starting to streak.

I've had these on for roughly two months. Don't streak. Don't make any noise. Look nice and low profile. Only complaint, minor, the right side of passenger wiper, about 2 inches, doesn't make contact with windshield until halfway up. Heard of this issue with alot of these types of blades. Doesn't bother me at all.

I had these. Worked well except when they became frozen. They didn't make good contact at all with the slightest bit of ice on them.

I bought a set for my Armada when about a year ago. They lasted a long time, but I only had one problem with them. They didn't follow the curve completely around the windshield.

End caps of these fall off all the time. Once you loose the end cap the blade slides off.

I swear up and down by Bosch Icons, they are $20 a piece but well worth it!

I had the exact same problem. I would stay away from them.

I replaced them with Michelin Stealth, so far the quality seems to be much better.
