I have run Sill Blades for 6 years, they are very good. The other option would be to buy a D1 wiper arm and then add one of the new generation Bosch Ion blades. I just did that for better snow work and they are quite an improvement over the older style blades.

 

what do you like better Mike? i just bought a pair of D1 arms but then i found these,.. have been reading reviews of the Bosch Ion vs the Rain X Latitude

 

The Rain X Latitude blades SUCK!! I put them on my work van last year and they ice over faster than a margarita glass.
There are little holes that run the width of the blade, front to back and the water comes through and then freezes and the entire blade will be encased in ice inside of 3 miles and thus rendered totally useless.
If you live in a warm climate you would be fine.

I have not used the Bosch Icon blade.

I have Triple Edge blades on my Rover and I really like them.

 

2x on the rainx blades.........for me they went from store to dumpster in about a week !

 

who makes the Triple Edge blades? are they from WalMart? can't seem to find them in my brief search online. Are they a silicon blade?

 

I love by Bosch Ion blades. They came out with a normal wiper that was encased in rubber to keep the ice from freezing the components, but when they came out with the single rubber blade, I switched. The last pair lasted me a whole year and my windshield is pitted and never sees a garage. That is the longest I have kept wiper blades.

 

i just bought the Sil's off of AB for the D1 wiper arms i just purchased. Its cheaper then buying the D2's and if im ever somewhere at least i can buy any 18"

 

I just bought my DII with 175,000 mi and need to replace the wiper blades. Does any one on here have a pic of the end of the wiper arm on a DI Vs DII. I'm not sure if my wiper arms are original or replaced from a DI.

here are the D2 blades



and here are the D1 blades.



you can easily tell the difference by the curve in the arm.
