"Glider" wipers?
 

Has anyone tried the "Glider. ™. Beam Blade" wipers yet?
Are they worth the $13 price tag?

There are similar wipers of different brands. Some people like them.

I have the Bosch version on all my cars. Works incredibly well.

You have to keep the rubber maintained because they are too expensive to replace twice a year :)

or you can pour a bottle of rain-x on the windshield...lol

i have a similar wiper blade.. i think it's ok.

Using Rain-X
 

:D I use rain-X too. I never even have to turn on my wipers cept when theres just a light dew on the windshield in the AM. I love it. I have heard that you can never stop using it though for some reason or another.?.?.?:D

It never comes off and leaves a nasty film. If you dont reapply it, it causes lots of streaks/hazing when you turn the wipers on.

AAAHHHH ok, so I should stop using it or not? It works so good on the SVX. I used it once on the explorer but it didnt work well. (shape of the windshield maybe?)

How do you keep your rubbers(wiper) maintained personally? :)

Do you maintain your rubbers on the wheels? :cool:

rub the blade with rubbing alcohol on a rag once a month to remove the oxidized rubber.

Tires are supposed to rough for wet traction. You don't want smooth tires in rain :D

Rain-X is actually horrible for the wipers. It eats away at the rubber. Great for sheeting off the rain, but it will decrease the overall life of your windshield wipers.

Even If I have to buy a set every year , they are relatively cheap. Im thinking if they are the bulk of what I have to replace on this car then Im going to be doing very good! :D :D

i still have teh original wipers on my svx. :D
