Has anyone tried these? If so please tell me how you liked them.Any other wiper blade recommendations are welcome.

Just saw the ad for them on TV last night. I do use their windshield treatment stuff, and i like it (Use it on all ext windows) and since my SS is still kinda new, have not been in the market for new wiper blades just yet.
I might give them a shot tho, cuz with where i work/drive wiper blades do not last long for me .

Hopefully someone that has used them will chime in soon.

I tried them on my Blazer but to tell you the truth my wind shield was cracked and very pitted up(lots of miles) but the first few storms they seemed to work well

I have been putting the bosh micro edges on the wifes Suburban they keep it crystlel clear as long as you keep the blades clean every time I clean the wind shield at the Gas station I wipe the blades down get all the bugs and crap off
but they are $$$

They're pretty good. My last pair lasted a year... but on my Mustang it seem on the passenger wiper, at the end, the rubber tries to come out and it wrinkles up. So it doesn't wipe about an inch on the edge. I've had the ones on now for about 5 months.

I have the Rain-X blades on all my vehicles including all the vans (6 total) our bucket truck and Auger truck as well as my company F150. I love these blades. First had them installed when we had an oil change at Jiffy Lube on one of our vans. I think you can see a difference after about 2 or 3 times using them.

bosch
 
Bosch has 3 main lines of blades, Microedge, microedge excel, and Icon. Microedge are the basic, around 8-12 dollars each, excel are 15-21 a piece, and icon (frameless design) are 19-25 apiece.
The frameless design was started by bosch for some high end imports then copied to some gm's even(special clips on gm's that come factory and most aftermarket won't work)
Bosch icon, anco contour, and rain-x lattitude are all frameless and close in price although rain-x should be the cheapest at about 15 dollars each.
hope this helps

I bought a pair of these last week on sale for $9.95 each. Great deal. I like them a lot, they seem to clean very well. I had the Bosch blade style on my last car and they seem to work about equally. The Bosch ones where a little smaller, (less bulky) I like them a little better for that reason.

Rain-X Latitude blades are hands down better than the "standard" rain-x blades, and I've seen them sell for up to $22 (installed), another shop around the corner sold them for $15.
I put the Latitudes on my wife's Matrix over a year ago and they're still going strong. They'll be my first choice for replacements when the factory blades go on the HHR.
