Rain-X 830116 Silicone Endura Wiper Blades, 16 Inch Windshield Wipers (Pack of 1), Automotive Replacement Windshield Wiper Blades With Two Times Longer-Lasting Resilient Silicone Rubber Squeegee

Got to say from past experience that these are the best blades I ever owned.. Have a 2025 KIA Niro with a 26in driver side wiper and a LARGE J HOOK... The adapter comes already installed to blade... The instructions are simple for this installation, but the LARGE J HOOK takes a lot of effort to push on to the adapter... Took the blade off the adapter so I wouldn't damage it and put some WD 40 on adapter to help get the hook past the final lock which was very tight... Almost gave up, but it finally snapped into place.. This adapter was made for both large and small J Hooks.. I reinstalled the blade to the already mounted adapter and job was done... If the hook isn't fully installed to the adapter the snap door will not close..

After struggling with streaky, noisy windshield wipers for far too long, I decided to invest in the Rain-X Silicone Endura blades. I picked up the 22-inch for the driver’s side of my sedan (and the matching 18-inch for the passenger side) and immediately noticed a difference. Installation was straightforward – it came with a couple of adapter pieces, but for my car’s J-hook arms I didn’t need any extras. I just popped the old wipers off and clicked these on until I heard a secure snap. The first test was during a heavy spring rain, and I have to say, I was impressed. Each swipe was smooth and totally streak-free, right out of the box. The silicone blades seem to contour to the windshield perfectly, clearing water almost as if it were a squeegee on glass. Driving in the rain at highway speeds is where these wipers truly shine. I no longer have that anxious feeling when an 18-wheeler splashes my windshield – the Rain-X Enduras maintain clear visibility with no chatter or lift. One unexpected benefit I learned is that silicone wipers like these actually leave a slight water-repellent coating on the windshield (similar to Rain-X spray treatment)【14†output】. I noticed after a couple of weeks that light rain beads up and rolls off more easily even before I turn the wipers on. It’s like the blades are doing double duty: wiping and treating. This effect has made a huge difference during drizzle; often I don’t even need the intermittent wipers as much because the water isn’t clinging to the glass. Longevity seems promising so far. It’s been about 7 months including a tough winter, and these blades are still performing like new. No splits or cracks in the rubber, and they haven’t developed that annoying hazing streak that cheaper blades get after scraping over a bit of frost. I do take the time to occasionally wipe the blades with a damp paper towel when I wash the car, to clear off any road grime – maybe that helps prolong their life. Price-wise, they were a bit more expensive than standard wipers, but I absolutely feel they’re worth it. Especially on a fixed retirement income, I look for value, and not having to replace blades every 3-4 months is a money saver in the long run. If I had one tiny gripe, it’s that the blade housing is a little bulkier than some OEM wipers (due to the robust frame), but it’s not really noticeable unless you’re looking closely. Functionally, these Rain-X Silicone Endura wipers are top-notch. They’ve given me safer, clearer drives through thunderstorms and snow showers alike. I won’t be going back to the bargain blades after experiencing these – seeing clearly in all weather is just too important.

These wiper blades are AMAZING! I can't believe how quiet they are and how well they work. I might never buy any other kind for the rest of my life. They were perfect replacements for the OEM blade. Sure, they cost a little moew , but boy are they worth it!

I ordered my 2nd set of these (26" and 18"). I got just about 3.5 years of use, but do note that I use my wiper blades sparingly. For the first 8 months, they performed well in rainy Portland, OR weather and then I moved to Phoenix, AZ and have lasted this long with early June-late September summers, exceeding 115F (worst case scenario). Certainly, they aren't cheap at first, but in the long run, they last quite well.

I just installed these. I like writing reviews in steps or stages. I will also update this review as time passes. These seem like decent windshield wipers. They fit my 2019 Toyota Camry just fine. I did have a slight issue installing them. I heard a click as I installed the blades into my windshield wiper blade arm's J channel. I thought the wipers were firmly seated after hearing that sound. However, the retaining clip on the wiper blade did not want to latch shut. I was a bit hesitant to pull on the blade harder, especially since it made what sounded like a locking click noise. However, I did have to pull on my blade harder to seat them into the J channel so that the retaining clip on the blade would lock shut. Also, remove the yellow wiper blade covers after you install the wipers. The hard plastic protects the blades from damage, and it will do a terrible job of removing water as some video reviews have clearly demonstrated. I have used these wipers a few times since I installed them. They are quiet. There are no streaks or other issues. I cannot comment on durability or performance in snow yet. I will update this review if I encounter any problems. Edit: I have used these wipers a few months and got some winter t I me use with them. They are still performing great. Edit 2: I have used these wipers for about a year in Wisconsin. They worked well with snow and rain. My wipers are starting to chatter a bit and it is now time to replace them. I will get another set of these.

I switched to these Rain-X Silicone Endura blades after my factory wipers started chattering, and so far they’ve been a noticeable upgrade. Installation was quick — maybe two minutes per blade — and the adapters fit securely on my 2017 RAV4 without any play or awkward angles. Performance-wise, the wipe is smooth and consistent. No streaks, no skipping, and no “first swipe drag” even when the windshield is dry or humid. What surprised me most is how well the silicone holds up during temperature swings. I’m in the Northeast, so we bounce between freezing nights and warm days, and cheaper rubber blades usually stiffen up or develop little edge curls. These haven’t. The water-repelling effect is legit too. After a couple days of use, rain starts beading and rolling off the glass faster, which makes highway driving in bad weather a lot less stressful. I didn’t expect that from wipers alone. The only thing to be aware of is that silicone blades can be slightly louder during the first day or two until they “break in,” but after that they’re very quiet. Mine settled quickly. If you want wipers that last longer than the standard rubber ones and stay flexible through all seasons, these are a solid buy. They’re not the cheapest option, but the visibility improvement and durability make them worth it.

I had to replace my winshield because of a large increasing crack and I just bought new blades only 3 months old. So when the new winshield went in I thought I should get these. What a difference these made. They're quieter, they don't skip or chatter and they don't streak. Clear view is a safty matter and these are clear. Now let see how long they last. Good stuff these are.

I needed to replace my wipers and these were a perfect fit. It was also very simple to put on. I am not having any issues since I installed them. For reference this fit my 2010 Honda CRV. If I ever need to replace my wiper I would get these again. The price is also great autozone sells this for $40 in their store. Update: one of my wipers broke no fault of the product. Like the wipers are really good!!!! However I have ordered 4 times and of the two one never made it and the other was delayed. The two that I did get the latch would not lock! It hooks very easy but when you press the latch it does not lock in place and then lifts right back up. Nothing i did would hold. I watched the video and followed and still. I have gotten two and both had the same issues specifically the latch so not not sure if I am just getting bad ones. But I cannot go without wipers and desperately need to replace it. I am little disappointed because I have to send these back and spend $40 at auto ozone smh.
