They actually clear the windshield, nearly as well as the Bosh micro. No structure to catch ice on in the winter.

I was drawn to these blades by their simplicity. In theory they should not gather ice and freeze solid as do standard blades. They also shouldn't "lift" at high speeds like the "winter" blades previously available. After 5 months of use I have come to a final opinion. First, these do not lift at high speeds, but they tend to be very loud when wiping under normal rain conditions. They do provide a clean wipe, possibly better than average. Unfortunately the winter performance is not as superior as I had hoped it would be. Ice does build up at the two ends of the solid plastic bracket that holds the blade to the arm. This causes a rigid section in the middle of the blade where the windshield will not be wiped at all, just as with standard blades. The ice can be cleared quite easily, but it happens frequently in freezing rain / wet snow.
In conclusion, the loud wiping noise combined with the continued freezing-up problem negates the advantages relative to the added cost. If you've got the extra cash burning a hole in your pocket try them out.

Very disappointed in the performance of these blades - no matter what I did they just left streaks on the windshield. These are the worst blades I have ever attempted to use. Certainly not worth what I paid for them.

Good blades and the $20 rebate came today. I'm out $14 for two nice blades. Of course they are only two months old. I may have to update this review

Despite Trico charts this blade is the correct size for later model Camrys on the passenger side. Combining the 19 inch blade with the 26 inch on the drivers side will result in the blades making hard contact at the bottom of their sweep risking damage to both the blade and the wiper motor. Also beware of the plastic mounting hardware which can easily be cracked when trying to remove ice and snow buildup.

These wipers are worthless!! In fact they might end up costing you a ton of money when you have to replace your windshield. I bought a pair that came apart completely, leaving bare metal on my windshield..... AND THIS AFTER 3 MONTHS with MAYBEE 5 days with rain....

Tired of squeaky wiper blades that streak? These are the answer to your headaches. Very streamline, easy to install, and the best wiper blades on the market today!
