Reflex Wiper Blades with WetTec

I installed these a couple weeks ago on my RSX and they have performed very well so far. They pretty much deliver what they promise, and clean the windshield very clean.

As for installation, I actually had a difficult time installing them with the hook design because of a flaw in the geometry of the plastic on the wiper where it mates with the wiper arm (not enough "lead-in" according my injection mold expert brother). I actually had to use a utility knife to trim the plastic to give it more clearance. My brother had the same problem on his Impala.

 

See a rough sketch of what i did: http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee189/ekalvi/trim.gif

I did the 5 minute dry run break-in with the WetTec solution, and it seemed to work. Apparently, coupling these wipers with Rain-X solution works very well.

I'll post another update after the winter, because will be the real test. I live in Canada, so we get a true winter in spite of global warming ;)

I have been using these wipers since they came out over a year ago, and I continually replace them when they wear out! They are awesome as far as I am concerned, most noticeably when you are going 160-180km/h on the highway and need to use them, they seem to stay glued to the window much better than conventional wipers.

Also in winter with the ice and snow that can accumulate in the area where your wipers rest, the conventional hinge/arm wiper systems can block up with ice and become somewhat useless due to ice restricting their normal hinge spring system.  Trying to knock off the ice with your ice scraper usually leads to damaging the wiper rendering it completely useless.

Erik, which brother of yours is into injection molding? I happen to be a sales rep for DuPont's Engineering Polymers division and wonder which sibling you speak of!

Ok so my experience with these wiper blades, well at first yes I was totally happy that i have expensive wiper blades on my truck thinking i have made a good perchase and will have the reliabilty of a clear view and no worries while driving. So a about a month, month and a half later its starts getting cold like minus 15ish in Thunder Bay and man was I wrong about a clear view and having a reliable wiper blade to clean my windshield, cause I thought I was gunna die. I couldnt see a dang thing the wipers must of what seems like they folded up in the middle and didnt even wipe the dust of the windshield, so im pissed now cause I cant see and now am afraid to drive anywhere cause of these expensive wiper blades i put on my truck. These wiper blades dont do any good in the winter but are good in the spring when the weather is nice and warm. Right now I am hating these wipers and would like a refund so i can get some cheep wipers that maybe a heck of a lot more reliable. grrrr I hope i dont die trying to drive home tonight seriously.

I have never had the reflex wipers squeak in my situation. If anything, they glide much better than traditional wipers.

I own Toyota camary 2008 LE Model, please advise me if reflex wiper is available for my car!
