Are these wipers any good?

Do they wipe water off the window?

Bosch Microedge wipers seem to work great on my car, and don't chatter at high speeds. With how the wiper inverts on your car would the airfoil do you any good?

The airfoil is on both sides (symetrical form). Is 20" long enough for a 190?

There would be no downforce, lift on the backside would pretty much cancel it. Just a gimmick, stick with Bosch IMO.

RainX
 
Those wipers look like what RainX has on the market now. I tried one & it worked quite well. Problem is, where I live, the sun & salt air eat wipers in 4-5 months.

I have a similar one from Trico on my car:

It works fine.

Bosch wiper blades work the best.... i have tried many different blades on my cars, two audis and a benz... it all comes back to bosch they don't streak and hold up for a good long time, my 05 audi needs this Bosch Icon blades, but my SDL and 98 audi worked very well when i just put the "micro-edge" something or other bosch blades

Lots of companies make those type of wipers, I have them on my car, and they work very well. Mine are "Michelin" brand ones, Bosch makes them, RainX makes them....and a couple others. Our other cars have normal wipers, and those work too....its all in what you want. In my case I got a deal for two for $10 (normally 10 each) so I got them. :D

I wasn't impressed. They worked OK for me, but no better than a conventional blade. I had hoped they wouldn't freeze up while driving like conventional blades do, but I was wrong. Not worth paying more IMHO, but OK if for a bargain price.

+1

My 05 c class gets the Icon blades and the w123 gets the micro edge. Both work great, last a while and work flawlessly.

TaDaa! SILBLADES ARE THE BEST
 
OK, I would like to plug the best Wiper I ever owned. Silblades
Don't be scrimpy and put any regular rubber blades on your car

And forget that gimmick from the UK.:eek:

This is the problem with regular rubber, and it sucks! What a business the wiper companies have going selling blades that have to be replaced often.
UV and heat cause the rubber to decay. This goes with the compound!

I got tired of changing Bosch blades after a year and half (YMMV) SILBLADES are good for 5 to 7 years folks! Youhave to love that! And they make them in COLORS if you have a vanity streak for Blue to match your blue car or whatever. Or Black. Whatever the color they LAST and LAST and never tear or streak your windshield like cheap rubber.
SILICONE RUBBER RULES! http://www.silblade.com/user_ratings/index.cfm

I have the rainx ones on my car, they do seem to work a little better than regular blades, but i wouldn't get them unless they were on sale...
