Wiper Blades? Recommendations?

Hey Guys... I need new Wiper Blades, peticularly for the Driver side, thought I might as well just replace both.

Any out there that you recommend? (For both winter / summer.)

I've also heard that if you use Rain-X, does phenomenal work.

Any other additives you suggest, recommend?

Driving : 95 Civic Coupe Si

Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

rain-x kicks some serious ****ing ***!

i tend to not even bother with using the blades when i have a fresh coat of rain-x

i bought teflon blades from cc, they seem to be falling apart, but they work. had them for about 16 months?

going to try silblade. the warranty assumes you will lose the box or receipt... i don't think anyone expects it to last 5 years.

I'll probably end up getting OEM Honda Blades. Does anyone know how much they go for? $$$?

just stick with oem
..the problem isnt the blade in most cases..the windshield gets very pitted over the years.. new windshield is about 200 bucks in stalled.

Get OEM replacement rubber blade, 3 dollar or less for one side. Change them twice a year and you will have no issue with rain whatsoever.

I'm not big on cheap things, if I do something, I like to do it right the first time. More of an investment than a quick purchase is how I think anyways.

Good idea, Nova. Thanks.

Reflex blades work great! Never let me down through summer, and snow storms drive my car to waterloo and back through all conditions. $18 and $21 each at Canadian tire Now Wal-Mart sells a similar kind for around $14 each!

Teamed up with a fresh coat of Rain-x every3 months, above 60km/h the water just glides of and the wiper work slick, repels snow, rain, sleet, and even makes most high debris glide off your windshild $6.99 bottle, or $9.99 spray bottle. The regualr bottle is my fave to apply with.
