Neither have I, because I bought it as use as designed, a utility vehicle. Guaranteed it will rain sooner or later. I have other vehicles in the stable that get a weekly dusting with a diaper, that have never seen snow. I have never neglected the maintenance. Mechanically mine is perfect & everything works 100%. As far as appearance, after spending just 1 winter in the salt, the writing is on the wall. For wiper blades just the cheap store brand winter blades for 6 months, cheap store brand normal blades for 6 months.

 

Totally agree ...rainX works for me. I've used rainX fluids for years....hardly ever change blades but we get 63" rain but not much ice.

 

Been using Rain-X fluid since it came out. GOOD stuff for sure.

I'm not even getting close to 6 months out of the cheap ones. It's a 1/2mi dirt road from the main road to my home. Half of it is traveled by my neighbor with his heavy track equipment regularly to a shale pit so we're talking DEEP talcum powder type dust. FUN when it's wet to. Then there are the rest of the shale/dirt roads I travel on regularly. Maybe I'm just asking for too much out of a product.

 

Damn, I wish we got some of that rain We maybe get at least 1-3 inches a year.

 

I'm getting 1-3 inches per hour from Issac right now.

 

That's what I had for 12 straight hours today...in Kansas lol

 

I put on the cheapest I can get. No mater which brand I've tried they were dried out and junk from the heat and sun in less than 3 months. So fresh ones right before monsoon season and they last till right after it ends.

 

I am impressed with my Bosch. They were easier to install than any I have had in the past, very effective in wiping the rain away and have lasted longer in the hot dry weather here in Phoenix, AZ.
