Same here, unfortunately (re: RainX wipers).
I actually bought cheapy Duralast wipers for my truck two years ago and they've performed admirably so far. Other than that, I just use Bosch. Price typically ain't that much more than the Duralast ones.

another one here. Put a set on the Vulva a couple months ago. Loved them at first. Mine didn't split, but after about a month they started smearing and leaving streaks. Seems they wore out prematurely.....or as it seems completely normally for Lame-X's so I'z going back to Bosch. Tri-blows are on my shit list too. They seem to wear out and split within a couple months as well, especially on the fo-fo and van that don't get used much. ( van sits in the sun all day fo-fo stays inside )

What I do is find the cheapest wipers in the right length at walmart, remove the actual blade, and put the new blade into the old arm.
So far they seem to work better than anything else I have tried.

I hate to admit it but I only buy OEM... they seem to last the longest.

When I first bought the Targa, it needed replacement blades. I bought the "lifetime" silicone from Automotion, and they lasted until I sold the car (and then were still fine). Granted, it wasn't a daily driver, but that was still about 12 years!
