Has anyone found a set of bracketless wipers that fit your Jeep?

I was at the local auto shop and they told me they couldn't get them in any of the brands they carry. The closest was probably 2 inches too long.

I have them on my VW and they are great, especially when it's really cold. No issues with freezing the sliding bracket in place.

Thanks,

Had a set of these on my old GTI and were great as well. I didn't go with the Icons on the Jeep because a) i don't think they would look right on a Jeep and b) because of the upright front windshield i don't think they would perform especially well with the aerodynamic properties of said blade

I just went ahead and purchased a set of the Bosch Excel wiper blades and they work just as well, and they give you the spring loaded mechanical advantage of a regular blade.

IIRC you need a 15" version and they pop right in with the fastener that is on the blade out of the box

Im running the exact wipers on my JK. I just got the shortest length that they had. 18" i believe. They do not hit paint or eachother and they work so much better than the stock wipers.

I have the Bosch, you can get them in 16" but not 15 like come on the Jeep. The 16 work with no issues. I had to order them online.

I got a cool set of yellow ones for my Jeep from sillblade, and they have ones for a JK.

They are pricey though..

Silblade has a 5 year warranty if I remember correctly. I bought one set and just kept getting them warrantied every few months. Made up for the price.

not to try to revive an old thread, but I have been considering the rain x latitude or equivalent just to test them out. stock blades tend to flutter in this desert wind at high speed. anyhow, I found 16" rain x latitudes just under $15 for the pair.
I went ahead and bought a pair. if anyone is interested, the ebay number is 310129909472

if anyone has used these and wants to say good or bad about them, I'd like to hear.

Thanks.

Does anyone have pics. I don't think I have ever seen these

I recently got a pair and love them. Had the Bosch and hated them - after a couple weeks they just didn't seem to work.

I use to only use those style blades but the quality sucks and they wipe very well at first but that doesn't last long. I always tend to have problems with the end caps, they keep falling off after several months. Now I just buy the plain old Rain-X steel framed blades. They're cheap to buy, wipe extremely well and last quite awhile. For the winters I use Anco heavy duty truck wiper blades from a local International dealer.
