 excellent wiper blades...best I've seen November 26, 2008
R. Cary (Andover, MA USA)
I bought these because of the Consumer Reports review. It took about 10 seconds to replace the blades on my Tacoma. The Passat took more time simply because the hook/loop on the wiper arm is small and required the smaller insert which comes with the blade. Be patient, be firm, and the insert will snap into place. Amazon had the best price. These are the best wiper blades I've ever seen.
 Good Results, Bad Installation August 9, 2007

The Rain-X Latitude wiper blade promises advanced visibility through simplified design. Gone are the springs and hinges that conventional wipers use to try to keep the blade on your windshield. The Latitude is basically a floppy graphite-coated blade that molds itself to the shape of your windshield, promoting more uniform contact, pressure, and as a result, visibility.
I've been using mine for several months now and have always been pleased with their performance. They're definitely quieter than any other wipers I've ever used and they do eliminate those annoying streaks of rain/ice/salt that can form when conventional wipers start to break down.
Installation was supposedly simple, but the mounting clips that were provided were ill-fitting. Plus, they're made out of lightweight plastic that felt very cheap - I was afraid that I'd break them while trying to fit them to my car's wiper arms. I finally gave up and had my mechanic put them on since I had a routine appointment coming up anyway.
My only ongoing concern is how long they'll last given the plastic mounting clips and the soft, delicate feel of the blades themselves. I'll update this review if I run into any trouble, but so far so good.
