I put these Latitude wipers on both of our vehicles recently (2009 Ford Fusion and 2004 E350 – 15 Passenger Van). These wipers were very easy to install. The necessary mechanism was already connected, so it only required removing the old blades, and then sliding these onto the hooks. These wipers look impressive, as they have a wider body than many wipers, and the blade is centered which gives it a great look on your windshield.
We have had a couple of pretty hard rain events since I installed these, and they performed great. They move smoothly across the windshield, with no annoying sounds. I’m not an expert on windshield wipers, but my experience has been better so far with these, than with any other blade I have ever used. These blades do cost more than some of the other blades you can buy, but so far I think they are worth the purchase price.
I’m very happy, after about a month of using these on two vehicles.

Not a cheap wiper blade, but they seem to be effective for 9-10 months if use. They are the most quiet (least prone to squeaking) that I have ever used, and that is the reason I always get this brand/model.

These wipers do a great job. Some reviewers say they don’t lay flat or they don’t touch the windshield in all spots but I don’t find that to be true. They lay flat against the windshield for the entire length of the wipers. One problem I’ve just experienced was with clearing snow/ice. I try not to abuse the wipers when scraping ice and snow but this last time the entire wiper detached from its mounting bracket. I was able to figure out how to reattach it, but that would have be more of a problem if I was someplace other than my own driveway. We’ve had a mild winter so far so I haven’t had to do much scraping but I’m concerned that these things are just a little too delicate. If the same thing, or worse, happens again I’ll add some additional opinion.
3/30/2013 – IT HAPPENED AGAIN! A VERY light snow and again the wiper blade detached from the bracket after being very lightly nudged. I can’t put this thing back together again without my glasses so this will be a real problem if it happens out in the wild. I’ll keep these until next winter arrives, then I’ll be replacing these wipers with another brand.

Rain X wipers are great wipers. They’re easy to install, fit nicely and look great. They’re durable and have superior visibility

I have a 1998 Chevy Malibu, and oddly it uses different sized blades. I purchased this 22 and 20 inch wiper blades; 22 for the driver’s side and 20 for the passenger side. My old blades were about two years old at this point, and sorely in need of replacement. They streaked very badly and made noise, so I finally got around to replacing them. I had a bit of a time getting the old one off; on the driver side it had a clip and a lock that made it difficult to figure out how to get it off (I still have the car manual and it was no help whatsoever; it doesn’t even list the size for the blades, I had to look up the size online). On the passenger side the blade didn’t have a lock so it took me even longer to figure out that all I had to do was slide it off. Once I got them off, the new blades hook right on it. No clips, no nothing, I didn’t even have to add any of the additional pieces that come with the blade. Slipped the hook of the blade mechanism over the blade, set it down on the glass, and I was done. I’m six months pregnant and in two seconds I had the new blade on (after fiddling with getting the old one off for five minutes). I turned the cleaning mechanism on when I was done putting both blades in, and they smoothly wipe across the glass with no streak or noise. If I have any issues when I use them in the rain, I will be sure to update my review. I did notice these blades were much curvier than my old ones, and they do seem to hug the window much more. Also, the blade comes with a clear plastic piece over the rubber so be sure to take that off before putting the blade on (my son was handing me the blade with the plastic piece on; he didn’t realize it wasn’t part of the blade). Will definitely buy again when it’s time to replace them!

Only had 1 blade damaged. Glad I found this one for a cheap replacement. Not 100% like my last one but I guess they updated them since I last bought some (maybe 2 years ago). Works well, doesnt leave anything behind. So far so good, at that price Im pretty satisfied

30 sec installation time

Fit is good. The lever to secure is hard to close but secure once in.

I am only writing this review because my experience is so contrary to some of the negative reviews I have seen here. I installed these blades on two of my vehicles over three years ago. I have just ordered a replacement set because they are starting to streak a little and since the old ones can be transferred to another ‘utility’ vehicle that truly need blades, the cost is thus truly negligible. I’ve installed them on several vehicles (18 – 26″) and never had any difficulty after reading the instructions. I can see where they might not be suitable for some vehicles with extremely curved windshields. My uncle had, I believe, a Studebaker back in the late ’50’s that no blade, including the one that came on it new, could fully clean, but I have had no problems with these blades in any regard, except that, as another reviewer noted, they don’t work well on a dry windshield. I shouldn’t ever even do that, but we are blessed with excessive pine trees and I occasionally ‘sweep’ the straw off the window with the blades. That almost always necessitates then using the windshield washer copiously to wash off the oil/dirt streaks left on the windshield. This does point out that these blades do work best (to an even greater degree than most) with a clean windshield, but all that entails is a willingness to splurge a little with the windshield washer fluid. It may be my imagination, but they seem to work better in this regard with the Rain-X or Prestone fluid than some others I have tried.
