Default Windshield Wipers

Time to get new wipers. What are you guys using? Where did you pick them up?

On our LR3 we have Silblades and I'll be putting those on the JK once they're needed. I love them because they never stutter across the windshield (wet or dry) and they alway wipe cleanly (even with ice and snow).

OEM JK ones from Mopar...they've always worked great for me; no skipping, noise making, or missing.

RainX Latitude, 16"
So far, so good.


I had two sets on Innovisions on my F150 and my wife's Expedition. Complete crap. The two sets were because the first set fell apart, I complained to the company, they sent a new set, which also fell apart.

Not too good to be true. Had them on the MINI Cooper and had them replaced three times under warranty no questions asked. No I have them on the Jeep. LOVE Silblades.

Which ones are you talking about?
http://www.silblade.com/]

What size do you get? Do they make them in size 15? or can you use 16?

The 16's fit fine? Or do they go over the edge of the window?
