3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing special for a winter blade, January 15, 2009

I've owned winter blades before and this one is nothing special. It works just like any other winter blade. When I first installed them they chattered and after break-in they streak just like other blades. The important thing is the ice doesn't freeze inside the frame, the rubber boot keeps them flexible after a winter storm. I'm glad I didn't pay retail because then I'd be disappointed. But for the price I paid on Amazon, they'll do for winter use.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless. Does not conform to curvature of windshield., January 15, 2011

I ordered an 18" and 19" blade for my 2006 MINI Cooper S, because I live in an area with harsh winter weather, and I wanted to try a winter blade. Unfortunately, these wiper blades are useless. They do not conform to the curvature of the windshield. Only the central 2/3 or so of the blade makes contact with the windshield. The outside edge of the passenger blade probably sits half an inch or more off the glass.

I switched back to my PIAA 95045 Super Silicone Black Wiper Blade - 18" blade, which works well despite not being designed specifically for winter use.

Don't buy these. I bought a pair for my car in the 20 and 24 inch size and for my wife's car in the 18 and 19 inch size. I am sure these were the correct sizes but the blades did not fit either my window or my wifes window correctly. Only the middle 1/3rd or so of the wiper contacted the window and they did not work. I returned them and bought simple, cheaper, non teflon blades at a local auto store and they work great.
