I think these blades are much better than the previous G had, only used them when washing the car so far. Also, don't forget, they spray the entire car with cosmoline before it goes on the ship, sometimes that can cause the blades to work funny, I know on my '05 they replaced them, and they still were fine when I traded it in, over 2 years, and blades take a beating from the sun out here!

^ I agree Tom. I think the blades on my 07 are MUCH better than what was on my 03. Though I don't use my wipers much at all, I think they work fantastic.

I thought I was the only one with that problem. It might be because I haven't washed my windows in 3months. :-(

How much are you guys paying for the windshield wipers at the dealership?
If you don't rub hard enough when removing the rain-x after application, the windows will have a slight haze.

If there's a haze when the wipers are running, it's likely that your wipers are smearing the rain rather than wiping it (need new wipers).

With Rain-x, if you're driving fast enough, you don't even need wipers.

I love rain X. Highspeeds, no wipers. Low speeds, less wiper usage than without. Applied on all windows, it greatly improves visibilty. Haven't had any problems with smearing.

Rain-X is OK, the real stuff is aquapel. far superior to rain-x. never hazes never streaks and lasts 10 months for a single application on windshield. 1-2 years on all other windows. It's designed for aircraft glass, so it can withstand 1500mph conditions. It's made by PPG for commercial use only. Best/only place to get it is on eBay.

I've been using Eagle One Nano Wax on the windows... wow.
Had some trouble with rain-x on my FX - the wipers shuddered/bounced on the windshield. Had to take it off with vinegar and replace the blades - all OK after that, so I blamed the rain-x. Maybe I was wrong...?

Juan, IIRC, the driver's side is 22" and the passenger side is 18". I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
