The blade itself contours to the curvature of the windshield, with a synthetic-blend rubber squeegee featuring a premium graphite coating designed for enhanced durability in rain and sleet. The Rain-X windshield wiper blade is one of the best-selling and best-reviewed wipers in North America and is available in single, double, and five-packs.
Rarely, a windshield wiper arm’s design is so unique that it will not accept common replacement wiper blades. Most modern replacement wiper blades are designed to fit the vast majority of vehicles, but the few exceptions to the rule will be marked with “A”, “B” or “G” at the end of the size to indicate special fitment.
Generally, wipers last eight to 12 months, though it might be a little less in places with frequent extreme weather. Chattering, skipping and streaking are telltale signs that wiper blades are done for. If the blade is tearing or chipping, they’re definitely overdue for replacement.
Not only is the blade material constructed of tough rubber compound designed to withstand sub-zero temperatures, the wiper’s frame is also engineered to reduce the buildup of slush and salt. More robust than all-weather blades, which can tear if activated over ice
