I'm happy to report that I may have solved the windshield wiper dilemma. I inquired at the dealer about replacement all season blades for my RRS, as the OE ones are the reason I'm taking Prozac . The parts manager said, "we've got them and they are $62.00 USD each" I said, "you’ve got to be shi**in me" He said, with a smile "no, I'm not" So, I started my research and discovered a new product on the market, LATITUDE all seasons wiper blades made by rain x These blades are ice resistant, contoured to the window and snap in without any adapters. If that wasn’t good enough, they are virtually silent as they sweep the windshield and they cost a mere $9.95 USD each. I had the opportunity to use them today and I could not be more satisfied

Great News - any links to where you can buy these ?

I installed the 22" blades, rain x does not show the RRS, the district manager from Quaker State Oil looked up my application and delivered the correct set.

Can see 'Weatherbeater' wiper blades but not 'Latitude' ones on the Rainex website - are these the same thing? Who stocks them in the UK?

Looks like a group bye then as we all seem to be having problems with these bloody noisey wipers.

I am not sure if the Weatherbeater is the same as the Latitude, I suspect it may not be. I will check with the local distributor after the Xmas holiday, as to the availability in the UK. Until then, have a Happy Hoilday

If you can't get a lead on a UK supplier I am going to be in the US in 2 weeks, and again mid feb (SF and Tahoe). I have no problem with picking up a few sets and bringing them back

Sorry Lads, I was away for the holidays. I placed a call today as to the availability of the rain x blades in the UK. I should have an answer as early as tomorrow (Friday)

In the event they are only available here, I'm sure we can figure something out. I have an office in San Francisco and live in the Lake Tahoe area, it looks like p-trax will be in either place around February.

So far, still very happy with these blades, the "acid test" will be how well they perform after being in service for awhile.

I'll keep you posted...

I have been watching this topic with interest I replaced my wiper blades 4 weeks ago in the dealership.They told me they had a few complaints over the noise and the quality. The replacement blades make no noise whatsoever ( well up to now anyway) now all I need to do is replace the wiper at the back WHICH STILL MAKES NOISE  RRS TDV6 HSE BUCKINGHAM BLUE BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR RHODIUM TASMOD SILLS PARROT 3000 EVOLUTION WHITE SIDE REPEATERS RRPORT.CO.UK BROLLY & STICKER
