Rain X 5079281 2 Latitude Water Repellency Reviews Summary

Installation & Compatibility

Pros:

• "So easy to install. Took less than 5 minutes."
• "These hook on and click in pretty easy once you remove the old wiper."
• "The installation takes 5 seconds. You pull two pieces of plastic out and then snap into place."
• "The instructions are very clear; as long as you follow them you’ll be able to install it no problem."

Cons:

• "Frustrating to install."
• "...what should be a couple minute job is now a frustrating ridiculously long affair that involves a screw driver."
• "Instruction list is very complicated. Go to the video on the website."
• "The ‘’26 blade won’t attach to my left side wiper arm. It’s a 'J' hook. It should allow me to slide the J into the latch on the replacement and let me snap close the latch. Instead, it won’t let me close the latch when the J hook is in."
• "I had to have a neighbor's friend put these on as I couldn't figure it out."
• "The clip attachment is very poor. Yes, I installed it properly, it was pretty easy actually. I went to wash my windshield at the gas station and the wiper came off the wiper arm, thus causing my windshield to break!"

Performance & Durability

Pros:

• "Went years with loud wipers that sounded like finger nails on a chalk board. Instant silence once installed and after two weeks the windshield repels rain with no other treatment to the windshield."
• "I've bought these wiper blades for a long time for multiple cars. The driver's side blade started to streak within 2 months, right in my line of sight. I've never had a wiper blade do this. Very disappointing"
• "Great product and of the highest of quality and a fantastic price. The wipers included great installation instructions on how to install and also how to remove when installing the next ones when they will eventually be needed. I am a Rain-X fan going forward."
• "I’ve used these wipers in the past so I figured I’d try them again. Do yourself a favor and shop for a better brand and build quality. These failed and left terrible streaks on my windshield in less than a month."

Cons:

• "I’ve only been using these for 2 weeks and they were streaky from the start."
• "After 1 year they stopped working properly."
• "These were the right fit but from the time I installed them they have been leaving a smudge line on the windshield."
• "These wipers seem like a great buy at face-value... About two weeks later these wipers were pretty much useless, water was not wiped off the windshield and instead just streaked across leaving terrible visibility."
• "I installed these after my OEM wipers finally needed replacing after 2 years. I installed these and they really do not work well. They leave streaks and during a recent rainstorm, started leaving oily streaks on my windshield."
