I need to replace my wipers

I bought rain-x latitudes and i had to return them because they werent even touching my windshield. I have an 04 Sedan. Could someone suggest for me some wipers that are better than rain-x latitudes? Appreciate it

Do sedans and coupes use the same wipers?

Valeos are buy one get one free from tirerack.com. I've had those many times before. I actually have the Rain X Latitudes on now, no issues.

Don't waste your money on name brand wipers. Wipers usually are only good for 1 season anyways. Just replace them every rainy season.

Get the oem ones they work the best and you only have to replace the rubber lining after which cost less than 10 bucks. All these reflex, rain x brands are garbage.

I've used Bosch Icons for 3 years now and really like them. They hug the windshield at high speeds and usually last me about a year and a half before I replace them.

I had RainX blades and had the same issue, slight gap on the drivers side blade that wouldn't make a clean wipe. The solution was to get the Infiniti flat blade wipers from the dealership. For about $32 they wipe great and are much thinner than RainX. I thought it was ironic because there was a G35 coupe in their commercial too.

I recommend OE wiper blades, and I buy them from Nissan since I'm not a fan of Infinities jacked up prices. Put Bosch blades on my wife's Vette, within 90 days they were jumping around and making major noise. Took them back and they gave me a new set, of course being new they work great!
