Time to rant.. anyone here with a NNBS truck have to replace your windshield wipers yet? I just did to the tune of $47 for the pair at Orielly's. :grr: The new ones have a special design wing on them that is molded into the blade and is supposed to help hold the blade down at speed plus they have a different latch design on them to mount to the arm.
Rain-X and 70 mph, who needs wipers? But yep they're rediculous
They don't function very well either TBH.
I love my rain-x latitudes best wipers I've had
Holy crap, I'm used to spending $8 or $9 for my OBS... FML. :puke:
I thought I was the only one. SHit, my tore within a year of having it, and the trucks been sitting most of it. The same wiper tore again, and misses spots already. Just replaced the damn thing for 24$ Ridiculous.
the rainx lattitudes, and the bosch icons are the only real replacements so far. I put the lattitudes on my dad's accord, and at 75, they lift off the window. Not a huge fan. They are still 22" like the NBS, i'd IMAGINE you could just swap arms, and go back to normal wipers.
I have ANCOs that I bought a Oreilly's.
I don't count ancos...they are like the 'autozone' brand. We quit carrying them b/c we had too many complaints lol
2 pair for me already greg and yes they sux azz...worst design yet for wiper blades...rain x here too so i dont have to use em that much.
Ive had my truck for over a year, endured the worst winter on record in DC, furious thunderstorms in the spring, and some sweltering heat in the early part of summer. Mine work fine. Go figure......you just never know what youll get these days
I got some for my dads truck (NNBS) and mine (NBS) at sams club, they are made by peak (PEAK OPTIX) and run about $10 dollars a pop.
they have the same design as the bosch icon, which i think suck. i prefer the peak ones or if not the trico neoform.
