I just bought some from Canadian Tire because my winter ones sucked. Has anyone gotten to use them in some serious weather yet? <br>

i bought mine last night, i'll letcha know what i think <br>
I'm curious to see how well they work. Definitely give us an update after a few weeks and a few months.
I got suckered in by their "these are the best wipers we have" advertising for the Teflon ones. They're complete garbage and a waste of money. I've been planning on replacing them with the PIAA wipers.
The Reflex blades look good... and someone posted here a little while ago that similar style wipers work really well and come stock on some expensive high-end cars... but I got burned once by Crappy Tire marketing and don't want to spend $40 on these just to get burned again.
<br>
I know what you mean, these are replacing my "MasterCrap Winter Teflon"s.
What really sucked was on cold days I would shoot out a little washer fluid and it would wipe away everything BUT the area in front of my eyes.

hmm, are these anything like the wipers they're using on the G6? they look like a solid band thats it, not like conventional wipers <br>

Hands down, much better than those winter teflon pieces'. My windshield was as clear as glass!
I'll take a pic tomorrow, I'm not going to go out in -39 in my boxers at this time of night

That's exactly the thread I was talking about above.
I wouldn't be surprised though if the Crappy Tire brand ones were just a cheap knockoff though which is why I'm really interested in how this plays out over the next month or so. If he's still this happy with them then, I'll probably go out and get a set.
I was getting pissed... again... at my wipers this morning. Teflon garbage!!

The wipers on my g/f's 03 Civic chattered heavily, so I replaced them with some Teflon ones from NAPA. Chattered even worse
so I went back to NAPA and bought just their regular wipers. I told the counterguy that the Teflon ones were horrible, and he said the Teflon was for UV protection, and not for smoother wiper performance, as I thought it was for. <br>

I bought some Reflex whipers on the 20th, so far so good. no problems. nice even whipe. I work at CTC>hardware so i got a slight discount on mine, but still worth the 36 bucks. I had the winter teflons before, complete Garb. I do recommend.
ok we had freezing rain, snow and just plain old rain yesterday, these wipers worked perfect through it all, im goin to buy another pair for my moms car tongith.
they are definately worth it. <br>
Ok bro... springtime's here... what's the verdict? Yay or nay?
I'd say Yay. I;ve had mine for about 4 weeks now. In rain, snow, heavy wet snow, and windshield washer fluid. They are by far the BEST wipers i've had. Mine are by Trico- Innovisions. I think i spent like $36 for them at Pep Boys.
Yup, they're great

Personally I think they suck. I've had them for 3 months on my 01 Sunfire, the long one on the drivers side chatters like crazy and leaves crap all over the windshield. In theory they should work terrific due to the design, no pivot points to ice up. My long one on the drivers side goes up just fine and does a great job but on the way back down it chatters like crazy and I'm not going to waste another $23 replacing it. I'll go back to my stock wipers for now.
I stopped giving in to expensive overpriced underperforming windshield wipers, I just by the el cheepo insert brand name here now, and they work great. Using Rain-X windshield washer fluid helps. 75mph down the highway, with the wipers off in pouring rain

Anyone else have chattering issues or is that just Bob?
i have a set. there nice and i got rid of my wiper float.
i have them, and works wonderfull!!!
these are the best wipers i ever gotten!
before, when i'm going over 120km/h they float, and dont do their job, now it is just awesome.
I think that these are GREAT!
My valeo works great. If you don't want chatter, clean the blade with a wet paper towel and clean the windshield too. The sand and dirt is one of the main culprits for chatter.
