Windshield Wipers: 1/2 price on RainX at PepBoys

tostrand · 02-18-2009, 04:31 PM

Pepboys has a buyone/get one free deal going through February 28, 2009 on RainX wipers. This includes Latitude and Weatherbeaters. If you're considering an upgrade from the standard wipers, this could be a good time.

Thanks for the heads up!

Reminder: the RainX guide is incorrect. 17" is a full inch shorter than the original. Suggest 19" for a perfect passenger side fit. 28" drivers side is a nice improvement, too.

My local Pepboys had them only up to 26", so that's what I put on the driver side. For the passenger, I got 18", which reaches exactly to the right-hand side of the windshield. Looks like 19" would extend past the window.

PS: if you're serious about the RainX, it makes sense to buy two of each size. That way you take full advantage of the rebate, since the shorter blade costs about $6 less.

Not quite accurate info...the 18" is an exact Size match to the original Toyota. And I think it's way too small. To be quite specific, I'm talking about the size of the rubber that touches the window (not the plastic superstructure). The 19" fits beautifully and is about 1/16" short of the right-hand side of the window (1/2 inch longer than the original, on each end, clears a little more clean window--it's too bad there's not enough room for a longer blade).

Thanks for the tip. Its time to replace the G35 blades.

THAT is the tricky one. We had to buy from the UK to get a killer deal ... only to find the mounting bracket didn't fit. Thank the Lord, for the Disney machine shop & pulling in markers for a quick G-job (whoops, I didn't really say that out loud did I?

)
