    Default Crappy tire wiper blades?

    Well i just got some crappy tire wiper blades, got hte cheapest ones I could find, didnt expect them to last more then a year.

    They lasted two days.

    On one the metal clip popped out and only half the wiper now works.


    Moral of story dont buy crappy tire wiper blades, well atleast the cheap ones.

    Crapy Tire does carry the Bosch blades...I have a trio on the DSM...they work amazing...only thing is they are not winter blades so they do tend to ice up in the cold stuff...but spring/summer...they cannot be beat...

    Canadian tire wiper blades pwn bosch, wasted crazy money on some Bosch blades when I used to drive the MBZ...they were POS and left streaks, what a rip off. Went to Canadian tire, custom rigged some CT blades to fit on the wiper arm (zipties are your friend ) and the wipers cleaned like nothing I have ever seen before.

    Canadian Tire is good for ONE thing at least hahahah

    If you mean th Reflex blades I'm using them right now and I love them. I can actually see now, worth the money in my opinion but some people think they suck.

    Hey yeah, that's what they're called!! I was wondering how good those were. Anybody else have experience with a set of those Reflex blades to see how they are? The ones I have are fine right now, but I was thinking about getting those to replace mine when the current ones wear out....
