Rain X. Had my hood fly up and push the blade through the windshield. Replaced the windshield, kept the blade.
I went with RainX Latitudes for my Scion tC. They work better than the stock wipers and they see snow, ice and rain.
rain-x blades. cheap and very reliable, once they lose a little bit of that 'rain-x' effect, just damp a rag with rain-x and rub the wiper blade.
Certainly a lot of opinions about the feature, but the system on my 2000 GTI-GLX is almost perfect and would be hard to be without for most situation. Can't imagine a down side to a system that runs the wipers only when needed, varies the interval to conditions and is always ready and waiting to serve you.
I;ve found that using the Dealer for these with the coupons they send is the best bet. To me they just look the best and work the best. Last pretty good too
when i bought my b5.5 last summer is still had the factory wipers. which blew a$$. i bought a pair of the RAIN-X like all season thick ones. crap i forget the name of em. i think like latitude or something idk. but those are siiiic and sitll like new over a year later.
I have the Rain-x Latitude wipers on my car, and they work perfectly...no troubles installing whatsoever.
I have a 2002 and my wipers (when I actually use them) work perfectly and miraculously have not dry rotted yet either. As a matter of fact, when I do have to replace them, I will make it a point to get them through VW, as they have been the best wipers I've had on any car I've owned. It's not the fact that they work well that has impressed me. It's the fact that they haven't dry rotted because all the other wipers I've had have been replaced yearly because after 7 or 8 months of not using them, they suck when I actually have to use them.
I HATE Rain-x. It has never failed to make my wipers chatter and skip.
You want to use Windex or so to remove. RainX does that. It doesn't like wiperblades. I had it done in a few cars and it hop or skip (chatter) when it's in use. So I stop using it.
