I would say the oem wipers work fine for me. Of course I can't remember the last time I used them. :'( (Texas..worst drought ever)
What Wipers ACTUALLY work?
I have never had such issues with wipers on a car, the Rain-x blades I bought work horrible on the Equinox. What blades are the best for replacement blades on the Equinox? Someone has to know what the best one is by now, I know its not Rain-x Latitudes.

hi ,
OEM for me !!!!!!!!!!!!! :cheers:
OEM for me !!!!!!!!!!!!! :cheers:
Does anyone have a link to buy the OEM's online for a good price? What is the make and model number of the OEM's that work?
I can't imagine Bosch making a bad replacement. Every blade I have bought from them has always out performed OEM. However my Nox is only a few months old so new blades are down th eroad. 
Thanks, I need to get something since these blades are almost useless in the rain.
Barhoc11 have you considered using rain-x windshield water repellant .
I have been using it for years and have never been disappointed .
As for the wiper blades themselves I just have the factory blades and no complaints.
Since I rarely have to use the wipers since the water just rolls right off the glass I don't have the wipers going back and forth across my vision. Also the blades last a lot longer and bugs are easier to remove.

I am currently running a test on my 05 Colorado. I have a Silblade on the drivers side and a Valeo 600 on the passengers side. After 2 months I see no differance between them and I am happy with both. Purchased at Amazon, both about the same price, $10-11.
And Rain-x wipers worked great on my 2008 Malibu but not on my Equinox. I think wiper performance must be tied to what vehicle it is on so testing this on an 05 Colorado may not work on the Equinox. I thought I would never buy a wiper blade other than Rain-x when I saw how great they were on my Malibu but they are worthless on my Nox.hfdad said:I am currently running a test on my 05 Colorado.

Re: Rainex product (Not wiper)
I recently began using Rainex window cleaner as well as the periodic Rainex application... First -- as a window cleaner very, very good superior to most I have used. One car is a convertible and I am always fighting dust streaks on the inside of the windshield -- with Rainex cleaner -- GONE! Also the Rainex effect is greater and lasts longer (in fact I stopped applying Rainex and will see how the cleaner works since I tend to regularly wash the windows

I agree. When replacements are due, they will be BOSCH.Rick Tinley Park said:I can't imagine Bosch making a bad replacement. Every blade I have bought from them has always out performed OEM. However my Nox is only a few months old so new blades are down th eroad.
I just replaced mine with OEM. Did anyone else notice a musty smell from them? They work excellent but the smell is awful.
It is both of them. They come seperate and were boxed and bagged. Had them a week now and it has disapated a bit.

possibly from a GM OEM air freshener? ;DDoogr said:I just replaced mine with OEM. Did anyone else notice a musty smell from them? They work excellent but the smell is awful.

Rain-X Latitude work fine for me. Been driving with them for about a month. Just replaced OEM after 2 years (rubber was literally ripping away from the wiper).
24" for the Driver side, 17" for the passenger side. I bought both online from Amazon for $15 and $13 respectively. After receiving, the driver side went on fine but the passenger side blade package was missing the P&H arm adapter (I believe this is the correct term). 2nd package from Amazon was also missing the P&H arm. Went to Target and was able to find 17" with the adapter, so all good to go now.

Exact same thing happened to me regarding the missing adapter, luckily the auto place had some leftovers. I thought Rain-x worked well at first but on the highway they were horrible, have you driven with these on the highway yet?GuardiansBeer said:Rain-X Latitude work fine for me.

Just replaced mine. I have a Rain-X on the passengers side and Trico on the drivers side. Still have the OEM blade on the rear. So far all are working as they should.
I had use Permatex wiper blade restorer (great stuff) on the OEM blades that increased their usefullness another 6 months.

I just changed mine. What a nightmare. wanted Bosch icon according to the Bosch website thet would work. No one at auto zone could install them. Then went with rain x they suck. Auto zone gave me some other brand that sucked too finally went with oem from the dealer. They are working great.
I have been told that spraying the front end of the car with Rain-X makes bug removal much easier. I haven't tried it because I didn't know if it would be bad for the paint. Has anyone tried it?darkside said:Barhoc11 have you considered using rain-x windshield water repellant .
