I have tried 3 differnt kinds of blades so far, all the heavy duty rubber ones. and they are all great, for the first 2 weeks. After that the drivers side blade starts going. It will start with leaving a small streek in the middle of my vision on the downward movement. Then that streek will get bigger and bigger over time. Pisses me off to no end. I have yet to find a blade that I like.

I've used thus far:

Rain X
Bosch
sh*t, can't remember the ones I have on the car now, but they were the best for 2 weeks, not they suck to in my book.

I just put on a set of Bosch Evolutions, of course, but I think they came out with something else - the Icons may now be their top model. I'm going to give the RainX's a try on my DSM to see if they're any better.

Thanks,
I got the rain x ones. They are suppose to really contour to the windshield better... They are really flexible as opposed to the standard design but they work well.
