amcdonal86 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I might be crazy here, but I'm perfectly okay spending $20 on regular blades 3 or so times a year!
SW03ES Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Bren, are you sure they're the OEM Lexus refills? Have you clayed the windshield? I've never had anything but great performance from the OEM blades. The Icons are okay, I've had them about 3 months now I guess. They've very quiet, but they miss a small peice of the windshield down on the passenger side near the base of the glass, they still deposit rubber on the glass where they stop and change direction, and they are starting to leave some streaky water trails. I wouldn't buy them again and I plan to refill the OEM wiper frames with OEM refills soon and replace them.
AzHotLS Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Has anyone used 303 Wiper Treatment on a regular basis. Does it work? Is it worth it?

They were replaced at the Lexus dealer Steve....& I specifically asked them for 'Lexus' OEM refills....how do I tell by looking? I have not clayed the windshield....but I did put on some RainX stuff with a cloth to keep the rain & ice running off (or scrape) easier & that is still working well. I have to go to the dealer this Saturday to have my winter tires installed.....I don't want to get picky.....but should I ask them to replace them? I just had them put on in mid October. I'd say these wipers are average at best.
erg1948 Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I am using PIAA blades on our '99 LS, Pacifica and F350. They are excellent and last a minimum of one year. They gets lots of use here in the Pacific NW! Gene
