Default RainX Wipers Suck

Part of my spring tune-up for the Ratt Fleet is to replace the wiper blades on all the cars. Usually buy Bosch for Porsches, F150 and Focus, but this year decided to try something else. I’ve used Rain-X products for years on race car windshields and motorcycle helmet face shields so figured I’d give their wiper blades a try. BIG MISTAKE!! Even on sale they were more $$$ than Bosch and frankly they suck!!! I’ve already replaced the 996s and now need to replace the Focus’s too! Focus’s blade separated from the arm this morning after only a month or so of use.

So other than a caution about buying this crap what are the rest of you using?

BTW this is a good example of why I tend to stick with something I find that works regardless of the “newest, best” product the ad drones are hyping.

Edit: after reading a couple of replies I thought I'd add how poorly they performed even when new!
