Windshield Wiper Blades

Rain-X Latitude all-season beam wiper blades from 14 through 26 in. Size is per vehicle and often different side to side, so check both rather than buying a pair of the same length. A beam blade has no external frame, which is what keeps it from packing with snow and ice and lets it hold even pressure across the whole curve of the glass — that is the practical difference from a conventional bracket blade, and it shows most in winter and at highway speed. Blades wear from ozone, UV and grit rather than from use, so a car parked outside needs them more often than mileage suggests. Streaking that will not clean off with a wipe of the rubber means the edge is gone.
