From the manufacturer
MORE THAN JUST A WIPER BLADE!
Rain-X Latitude Water Repellency wiper blades apply new Rain-X water repellent technology directly to your windshield, which now lasts longer than ever! The water-repellent transfers from the squeegee to the glass –and the Magic of Rain-X is activated. These 2-in-1 wiper blades clear and repel the elements to provide enhanced driving visibility. Compared to traditional wiper blades, the difference is amazing!
Latitude Water Repellency blades work by transferring new Rain-X water-repelling coating from the wiper squeegee to the windshield during initial use and lasts longer than ever! For optimal water repellency activation, run your wiper blades on a clean, wet, or dry windshield for 2 minutes. Once activated, the water-repelling action will last for the life of the blade.
The Rain-X water-repelling coating will also help clear your windshield of harsh winter weather driving elements, such as ice, snow, and sleet. This can help reduce wear and tear on the squeegee and lead to longer blade life.
For Optimal Water Repelling Results:
- Ensure the windshield is clean
- Install wiper blades then remove the yellow plastic squeegee cover.
- Turn on the wiper blades and wipe at medium speed for 2-3 minutes to activate.
- In wet weather conditions: Simply run the wipers across the windshield.
- In dry weather conditions: apply water or washer fluid intermittently through activation period.
- After activation, spray washer fluid onto the windshield to observe water beading.

Here comes Rain X saving the day. Immediately after opening and installing, I can tell the quality is definitely better and worth the higher price point compared to Costco. After a full year, I decided to purchase two more pairs for separate vehicles and again, am impressed by the performance of these wipers. Don't hesitate, pay the extra money and upgrade from your Costco Michelin Wipers.
I purchased these, left and right to replace my set that was very far gone, due to summertime and sap.
So, last evening I attempted to install them, ahead of today's rain storm. I followed the directions, not great directions, but I understood them. The tab would NOT click closed. I could NOT have pushed harder without breaking them and my fingers hurt. So, It was clear to me that the J hook need to be seated further inside the housing...
So ok. I tried and TRIED to seat the J hook further into the blade housing. There was NO budging. I tried multiple times on BOTH sides. I put enough pressure and force into it that I was afraid I was going to bend or break the metal arm, the part attached to my car. I actually gave up, a first for me. I figured I would revisit the issue in the morning with fresh eyes and fingers. But the rain was coming, and today was an important day, so it HAD to get done. It's just wiper blades, for heavens sake. I didn't doubt that I could do it. BUT, I tried again, and AGAIN. I called my ex for advice. I watched videos. I double checked that I had the right size. Well, I ended up having to borrow a friend's car to take my kid to school. I came back home, I tried AGAIN, nope.
I had to cancel on a dear friend who desperately need my support in court. THIS is what I am most upset about.
So, I read Amazon reviews looking for insight, I watched YouTube videos, Rain X website videos. I desperately tried EVERYTHING so I could show up for my friend. FINALLY, (but way too late to help my friend) I found a post on reddit from some wonderful man who said if the j hooks don't fit down far enough to snap the closure shut, and no amount of force is pushing it down, you have to remove the black outer casing to expose the three holes on the side and use a small screwdriver to force the J hook far enough in to allow the tab to snap shut. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? So, yeah I got to work. Well, it worked, thank the Lord above.
But, by this time it's already 5pm, court is over and its dark, damp and cold... THEN I found out it's a bad idea to run Rain X wipers over dirty glass. Its due to rain in an hour! My kid has school tomorrow and I have to go to work, turns out, windsheild wipers are IMPORTANT. Just saying. So....Great. AND you have to run them at medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes on DRY, CLEAN glass at the moment of installation. Wonderful. I have a pine tree above my driveway that shares lots of its sap with me. So, I wash the windsheild with soap and water, rince, dry, use a razor blade for the drops of sap, wipe away any traces of sap with rubbing alcohol, final rinse, and dry with a microfiber cloth.
Ok, I remove the yellow protective case around the blades, lower them, lovingly, onto my sparkling clean and dry windsheild, turn the car on, run the wipers on the dry windsheild at medium speed for 3 minutes, then add the final splash of water. I got back in the car to check out my handiwork, turn the wipers on and WITH EVERY SWIPE OF THE BLADES there is a haze that lasts for a couple seconds. Not a problem, IF you're just swiping away a little water or using low speed. However, if you are using high speed wipers, the temporary haze doesn't go away fast enough before the next swipe. WONDERFUL, because yes, I went through all that so that I could drive around in a rainstorm with a windsheild I CANT SEE OUT OF.
I am so very displeased, I never thought that, in my life, I would have such an issue and have so many problems because of WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES. This is ridiculous, writing this review is ridiculous, and probably a fat waste of my time, but honestly, I'm MAD enough that I don't care. WHAT is the deal with over complicated wiper blades? WHY is there an outer shell, an inner blue piece, and so many different ways to configure it, but no actual way to USE it without finding a person on Reddit to tell you how??? I 100% did everything right. I even had my friend try to put the wipers on, he couldn't do it either.
I'll give two stars, instead of one, for this reason: I should have bought new blades before winter and before it was totally necessary. I'm willing to take responsibility for that. I also should have done more research, you know, kinda like a "stupid" tax that I have to pay, if I wasn't busy with kids, and career, and LIFE. I guess I should have found the time to research these blades so that I WOULDN'T have bought them.
The dirty windsheild, the sap.. ok thats MY problem. I should have done more research into Rain X. The fact of the matter is, I just wanted wiper blades to wipe the water away. I assumed a name brand set was a good idea, but I didn't put much thought into what Rain X was. My fault. I didn't know that the blades have a coating of Rain X that makes a mess, another "stupid" tax. And that it has to be properly prepped (not that proper preparation did me the slightest bit of good) I dont know... did I miss a step? I just thought it was a brand. My bad.
In the past, depending on the circumstances of my wiper needs, I always either just bought Bosch, or a store brand and just put them on the stinking car!
Nonsense. Never again. Overly complicated, difficult and very disappointing results, once these blades are either worn out, or prove to be a hazard due to not being able to SEE, I am anticipating having to strip the product off of my windsheild with some chemical. I'll probably find help for that issue on Reddit.
I just want to say that once I had finally found someone to tell me how to get enough leverage to forcibly shove the j hook in the wipers far enough to lock them in place, (without damaging my car) and gathered all my tools, it took me 40 minutes, start to finish to install and prep the windsheild with wholly disappointing results. I will reiterate here that I am a very capable woman, installing wiper blades is way below my pay grade. I'm obviously irritated. And NOW, I will be even MORE irritated tomorrow, when I drive to work, in a rainstorm, and can't see out of my windsheild. TOTAL Garbage.
