Actually, waxing my windshield acts just like Rain-X.

For wipers I go Family Dollar and buy Blue Coral for 5 dollars each
and they have proven (to me) to be very good wipers.
For 10 dollars I can have brand new wipers that clean as good
as any other wipers that cost big bucks. I've used them for years.

True but in my experience Rain-X lasts a lot longer than any wax I have tried and it also has repels water better than Wax.

I, too, am a fan of Rain-X.

I disliked the oems but didnt want to change since they were new. Now i’m coming up on a year so i went and replaced ours finally.

I changed the rear with the oem insert & for the fronts I went with
Bosch Envision, which is their new flagship line

They are expensive BUT amazing in the rain
Guaranteed not to streak, have a sensor on them that when it turns yellow its time to replace

The day after i put them on we got a horrible downpour and it cut right through, anxious to see how they are in snow in a few months!

I only buy the cheap wiper inserts, so i change them every year at around end of November (normally they last up to the next rainy season). Thus I have new blades for the rainy days (2 or 3 months) each time. Been doing that for all my cars since I could remember. Nothing beats brand new wiper blades. My logic is why buy 3 times more expensive blades that last 3 years when I can have new ones each year or two. (hint: don't put wax or the like on your windshield so it stays smooth IMHO)

Last time I changed blades on our old 2003, I got the Bosch flex blades which replace the whole multi-jointed standard types. Very impressed and not expensive. I don't know yet about longevity.

I just bought Bosch Icon for my 2017-EX, from Amazon. Heard so many good reviews & recommendation from some of my friends. Let's see how good they are

Icons are great, envisions are the new higher end icon

How do I get replace the rear wiper blade on my Honda 2017 CR-V. I can't locate a lever to detach the blade. What am I missing.

You can replace just the rubber -https://youtu.be/dpOYMVqGSbk
or they sell one on the arm where u just unclip it like the fronts

I've heard that some of the aftermarket blades don't do well with the curve of the windshield, and will streak after a short time.

I have not seen a response to this - so can i assume the most new blade only replacements don't have the concern listed above?

I have those bosch envisions and passengers actually ask what they are in rain.
No streaking or sputtering on glass at all
