Now when snowy season has arrived, it's especially important to stay safe and keep road visibility on the highest level. We are here to remind you about wiper blades and their importance in every drivers life.

Finding the right blades that fit the shape, size, and curve of your windshield is not a simple task. Don't wait until bad weather will knock in your door. Get a fresh set of window wipers beforehand!

I'm a firm believer in Rain-X windshield treatment. My Father turned me on to that 25 years ago and the stuff is truly amazing. It works great on our Patriot, but on the Wrangler not so good, I think because of the steep windshield angle and the water beads don't blow off. With the less erect angle of the Patriot the water just flows off onto the roof.

I don't need wipers presently, but I may try the Latitude. The single strut makes sense in ice & snow. Regular wipers have so many joints to freeze up, and conventional all-weather wipers just encase them in a rubber boot that provides more surface area for ice to cling to. Hence, neither really works well in ice & snow. As I said, the single strut seems to make more sense, as long as it will make consistent surface contact throughout the sweep.

 

I have the latitudes on the Commander and the flaw with them is that they don't conform to the curvature of the glass so you get reduced visibility. There is a section of blade that does not even touch the glass. As ice builds up under that area it begins lifting more of the blade off the glass and the issue just gets worse. I had the same trouble on the Charger with a competitor's beam design.

I have had very good luck with PIAA super silicone blades on my TJ. I think I made a post on here when I bought them, but I think they're 3 years old now and still going strong. They also come with a generic version of rain-x on a handy wipe that you put on first. They say it's some silicone something or other but it seemed to me like it's PDMS, same stuff that's in rain-x. I treat all of my windshields with rain-x I really do believe in that product, however I think if your vehicle did not come with beam design blades from the factory you're likely to have problems with them.

 

Maybe someone should have a vehicle-specific wiper blade, made to conform to the shape of this particular windshield. As it is, the tips of my blades don't touch the glass. I get about 80% coverage. Frankly, I think I've had this problem on almost every vehicle I've owned, the exception being the Wranglers because the windshield is just plain flat.

 

Thanks for sharing your experience, guys! Ignatz's, its a really good point and I'm sure our manufacturers are aware of this and working on the improvements.
