Rain-X Latitude Water Repellency wiper blades provide an
innovative 2-in-1 solution to both clear and repel the elements
for ultimate driving visibility. These wiper blades not only give
you the superior wipe quality you’ve come to expect from Rain-X
Latitude blades, but now also treat your windshield with a water
repelling coating for the ultimate in driving visibility! Rain-X
Latitude Water Repellency blades work by transferring a Rain-X
water repelling coating from the wiper squeegee to the windshield
during initial use. For optimal water repellency activation, run
your wiper blades on a clean, dry windshield for 2 Minutes. Once
activated, the water repelling action will last for months! The
Rain-X water repelling coating will also help clear your
windshield of harsh winter weather driving elements, such as ice,
snow and sleet. This can help reduce wear and tear on the
squeegee and lead to longer blade life.

Product Features:* Water Repelling Coating: RainX water
repelling coating is applied to the windshield by the wiper
blades and lasts for months.
* Easy Installation: New and improved pre-installed universal

Wiper blades should be replaced every six months to a year or as
soon as you notice a difference in driving visibility. When wiper
blades no longer make proper contact with the windshield surface,
they can begin to squeak, chatter, skip, smear or streak reducing
driving visibility.
Remember to check your wiper blades as part of your regular
preventative maintenance program!
****************************
Wiper Blade Maintenance Tips
****************************
Visibility is fundamental to safe driving. Although drivers
depend on their vehicle's wiper blades to clear away rain, sleet
and snow, many wait to replace them until they need them the
most. So remembering to maintain wiper blades regularly can
maximize visibility, efficiency and reliability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wiper blades deteriorate due to many environmental factors
including:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Sun: Ultraviolet light and ozone deterioration
* Oil: Car waxes and exhaust hold rubber-deteriorating oil
* Airborne debris: Sand, mud and dust carried in the wind
* Moisture: rain and salt water (in moist air both near the
shore and inland)
Remember, wiper blades should be checked every six months and
changed at least once a year. Evaluate both the rubber squeegee
and the metal frames to avoid common problems such as streaking,
skipping, chattering, wearing and splitting all offenders of
reduced visibility and slowed reaction time while driving.
*********************
Common Wiper Problems
*********************
* Streaking occurs when the rubber squeegee dries, hardens and
cracks. It can also be caused by tree sap, road tar and other
foreign substances collected on either the glass or the blade.
* Skipping occurs when the blade develops a curvature from lack
of use (e.g. left in the parked position for an extended length
of time).
* Wearing occurs with extensive use and is when the rubber edges
are rounded instead of squared.
* Splitting is caused when the sun's ultraviolet rays penetrate
the rubber squeegee, causing it to breakdown and separate from
the frame.
* Bent Refill Vertebra and Bent Frames cause inconsistent
contact with the glass surface, creating streaking or skipping.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Avoid these common problems and extend the life of your wiper
blades by following these simple steps:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Clean your windshield every time you fill your tank.
* Gently wipe the rubber squeegee with a damp paper towel to
remove any loose dirt or oil.
* Never use your windshield wipers to de-ice your windshield.
Instead, either use an ice scraper or use your defroster to melt
snow and ice.
* Pull your wiper blades away from the windshield during winter
months to prevent ice build up on the rubber squeegee and to
prevent them from sticking to the windshield.
Efficient wiper blades are as important to a vehicle's safe
operation as clean oil and good tires. So remember to change your
wiper blades at least once a year, to inspect them frequently for
wear and tear and to enjoy the view!
