slick.....
bfore u buy, look to see how wide it is(normally it's the same quite standard)....than also measure ur wiper length. Buy the exact length of refill; and voila! Quite simple.
But I think better go for some brands lar.....like mine still dun know good or not lar....only being using it for less than 6 mths. So far so good. Sometimes brand does guarantee eventhough it's more expensive.
gloss ah gloss,
the BBQ still not confirm yet ler.....right?? Last week me and Chris kena big big aeroplane!!......but finally went to Rush with Calz & M@ntis

curious
just 1 2 ask, why silicon wipers make ''squeeky'' sounds?
is there anything i can do about it? (its fine whn it rains heavy, but if just a little, it sounds like hell)
i dont think brand make a different, its like eggs, an egg is still an egg, no matter how u cook it, (thats my opinion, no offence)
Cheers

Means the silicone wiper comes with a windscreen preparation liquid that you put on your windscreen before u start using the wiper lo.
Suppose to work together with the wiper to give better performance.

rain-x is harmful to the windscreen and also to the wiper. Can't deny that it's powerful and true to the advert. 1 friend using rain-x can drive through the storm without any problem while I only drive like 40km/h on highway. What I heard is that the liquid will harden ur windscreen making it easy to crack.
I think I know what slick is talking about the liquid that comes with the wiper. Cos 1 friend of mine is using PIAA. But too expensive ler....& heard that the liquid is also not cheap.
Slick,
the wiper u said u saw in carrefour, does the packaging comes with blue japanese wording in front. I bought it in Wangsa Maju Carrefour. But the funny part i found out is that it performs excellent when the rain is big (many water kua); but if only like drizzling, mine stil got traces of water lines.
The next time i wash my car, thinking of using dishwasher to wash my windscreen. Heard that it's better as it contains substances to remove oil more effectively. But need to be careful not to let the liqud touch ur car body.

boon,
I read in another topic about cleaning your windscreen with Autosol.
I just tried it last week and it is really good.
I had stains on parts of my windscreen where my wiper does not wipe.
Stains tat looks like watermarks but no matter how much washing with soap, it cant be removed.
With Autosol, it all came off :)
I washed my windscreen with water and soap, then dry it.
Used Autosol to polish windscreen, trying to avoid the rubber seals around the perimeter of the windscreen.
Then wipe clean with a dry cloth before washing the windscreen again with water.
I think this also stopped the wiper from 'jumping' during light rain or drizzle.

Wiper Guarantee
When you see this world "Lifetime Guarantee". Must read the fine print. The question is what is the guarantee on manufacturing defects, crack, tear or what ?? Normally, most are on manufacturing defects and everone know that most wiper blade won't tear easy.
Most of the time our wiper blade is replaced due to wear and tear. So watch out and don't be cheated !!!
Be happy.

SWV is lifetime guarantee.....not bad a..can service wit FOC one.....hehe.....so syiok
Silicone Wiper know more
kowkl,
yup i agree with you about the "Lifetime Guarantee" you can read more about silicone wiper at http://www.iamtagged.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32
--> silicone is better resistance from heat,grease,oil,mud and rain (acid rain) or even UV light. When it says higher resistancy doesn't mean it won't get cut as silicone are soft in a way that element such as sharp object (refer to big sand particles or hard element) may cut the fin of the squeegee. So as long it is not cut by anything that i mention it is good for years and years under hotsun and under normal used condition.
