I owned a set and as DS mentioned, the blades were worthless in the winter. The ice/snow builds up between the blades, not between the blades and the windshield. So in effect their claim is correct however what ends up happening is that I had two big chunks of ice going back and forth against the windshield. Worthless. Not really that good in warm weather either. >>>Don't ever use those in winter conditions. They're horrible! Ice builds up >>>between the "triple blades" rendering them near useless.

Wiper blades degrade at a rapid rate here and we have no cold weather to speak of. What's the consensus for my situation? I'll never again see ice or snow.

(btw, I'm from Tampa) As I mentioned in another post, the tripledges were stiff and did not conform to the windshield. Where I live, (Monterrey, Mexico semi-dessertic area), Anco wiper blades would last about 1, 1.5 years, and I have had some Bosh that lasted twice as that. Of course, anco is cheaper too. >>>>Don't ever use those in winter conditions. They're horrible! Ice builds up >>>>between the "triple blades" rendering them near useless.

Not only did they freeze up in the winter but they were stiff and left black marks on the windshield. Major PITA to try and clean off. Personally, I thought they were junk. I *do* like the single edge Teflon coated blades though. They seem to last a long time and are very smooth and wipe well. > replaced the Bosch blades that were on my infinity with these > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Cheaper and work better I bought some when they first came out in the '80s. They were stiff and did not conform to my windshield. I wound up tossing them and going back to regular old Anco. Maybe they are better now, though. |
