Has anyone been able to locate "beam" style blades that will fit this vehicle?:banghead: I had them on my past fleet car and they are great. Thanks.

I have used and probably always will use Silblades. My wipers have always lasted years. And the beading effect they create on your windshield is great. It's like putting Rain-X on all the time.

Thanks. The ANCO did not show up several weeks ago when I did a search. Now they do.

I have heard good things about Silblades. Since the company is in Ballston Spa and you are in Malta I would imagine that you may be affiliated with the company.

I work for the company that introduced the Silblade. But I bought the wipers long before I took a job with the company. I had them on one Honda for about 4 years before I traded it in. The nice thing about these wipers is if they streak it can typically be fixed by wiping with an alcohol towelette.

We actually sold the Silblade business last year. The company that bought it has access to better, more current frames than we do. While it is an excellent product, it was not a core part of our business.

Surprised that after all this time there isn't a single Rain-X blade available for any 2011 models of any make -- their "finder" (URL, below) stops at MY2010!

Are these people asleep at the wheel, or in financial distress and just selling off existing inventory?

Their Latitude beam blades are supposed to be top-notch, according to Consumer Reports.

However, users on Amazon complain among other things about plastic construction that doesn't hold up.

They (the latitudes) held up fine on my previous vehicle as well as my wife's JK. As soon as they're available, they're going the WK2.



Just measured mine: 20 3/4 inches on the passenger side, 21 1/2 on the drivers side.

Just installed the Rain-X latitudes. 22" on the drivers side, 21" on the passenger.

Took all of about 2 minutes, (OK, 12 minutes including the drive to the local Pep Boys) including taking out of the plastic packaging. Couldn't be easier.
