OEM blades - even more important - treat the windows with "RainX" - I don't even use my blades over 40mph. . .(and yes, the car gets driven in the rain all the time, never snow, but rain never stops me

Thanks BT. You'll laugh but its rained so little down here this year rain-x never crossed my mind. Even though I use the rain-x foam to clean the windows on the E55. I was asking more for my truck. But since I never wash it it doesn't get any rain-x. Kind of a hurr Durr moment. These OEM dodge wipers still suck (much like other OEM parts on it) so any suggestions would be great.

+1 but I claybar the glass before I apply rainX

These are design to be driven not stored :-).
The OEM blades seem to last longer to me.

i gotta try the clay bar cuz these wipers drive me nuts with not being able to choose my own delay speed as the automatic setting sucks... fricken goes nuts as soon as more than 1 drop hits the rain sensor.... the lack of a user choosen delay speed is my biggest pet peeve of this car

Griots makes a nice glass polish too that gets rid of all the crap etched onto your windshield...Doesn't fill in the 10 million chip marks unfortunately...I use Bosch Icon's on both my vehicles, though my truck sees a lot more rain than my car...I just hate how dirty everything gets in the rain...
