a year ago I bought the OEM replacement blades - and - they completely fell apart over the summer.... I now went with some cheaper stupid looking rain-x blades.. don't love the look but hopefully they last longer...

I've found "Aero" brand beam style sourced on Amazon in pre packaged pairs with included refills hold up very well and are very cost effective.

I have them on the wife's car that's a daily and parked outside at work, and on 2 trucks parked outside 24/7 with one being in service 8-10 hrs. per day. Note: not a cold climate user.

Hey all,

I finally bought the rainx blades but I'm having an issue wanting to know if this is normal or what I did wrong.

As you can see my OEM used to go all the way to the left but this one doesn't. Is it the wiper or an install issue?

Not sure. I forget which side has the 21 and which has the 19, but start with that first.

I went to OEM blade housings again just because I didn't have to worry about fit and the refills are cheap
