Not Rain X. Just replace mine with Rain x and they are nothing alike. Work great though they are a little more narrow.

I just replaced my factory blades with RainX and used them in a huge storm we had a couple of weeks ago. Pretty happy with them.

They're as good as Bosch Icons or made by Bosch. Only wipers I'll run. Confirmed by Project Farm.

They lasted to my typical one year mark for replacement.

I got a pair on ebay for $38.

i'll try out the bosches then

i had a car i used the curved blades on, i think they were the rainX. but then when i tried them on a 1500 they didn't seem to work the same. honestly i have yet to pick a blade manufacturer and stick with them

i just hate that every new car i've had the wipers are fantastic, then when i replace them they are never as good. that's why i wanted to know what chrysler was using for their oems, cuz i'm betting they don't make them in-house

I agree the oem blades were pretty good. I replaced them with Bosch Icon, which are good as well. They have a specific A And B part number for drivers and passengers side, different curvature but are the same length.

Since Walmart quit carrying them, I only buy Bosch Icons online when/where I can find a deal.

I wish the 24" fit on these trucks, I still have 2 sets from my 04.5.
