Huh, my rainx ones are doing okay a year in. I might try the silicone ones recommended after these.

I had high hopes and they're well rated, I wonder if something's just different for me. I live in Western Washington, it's rare that we have heavy rain but we get tons of mist and light drizzle. The wipers just smear everything for me. Sometimes it seems like the windshield isn't wet enough.

I'm in the sierra, basically just snow / ice or high altitude sun. Have you tried that rainx treatment stuff? I used that in New England and it blew me away. Often didn't even need to use my wipers.

I do use their wiper fluid and it works pretty good, especially when it rains hard enough. But when the windshield is coated in fine mist, it beads up fine, but there's not enough volume of water for it to collect into bigger droplets and blow off.
