For the last several years I've used those Costco Goodyear blades on both the Pilot and the RL. My Pilot has been having a problem with the passenger side wiper streaking in the middle. So I took a look at it the other day and found the wiper was ripped for 2 or 3 inches right in the center of the blade. In addition, I found the wiper mount was broken and letting the blade slide on the arm!

Time to get new blades for the Pilot ... and on the RL as well. So I took a look at my trusty CR to see what they had to say about wiper blades and they liked Anco series 31 (pretty inexpensive) and RainX Latitude (expensive, imo). My local WM did not have the Anco, and they had only one blade left in the 24" size in the RainX.

Pilot takes a 24/21 and the RL takes a 24/22.

So I bought the RainX Latitudes for the Pilot and bought some Bosch Icons for the RL. We'll see how they fare and compare.

But my wallet hurts after buying those blades... ~$17 to $18 each. Ouch.

I also ordered a Trico 14" blade for the rear glass on the Pilot. That's been needing a change forever. ~$10 on Amazon.

I probably would have stayed with the Goodyear blades... except that my local Costco started stocking the hybrid blades... and never seemed to have the sizes I need. I waited for a couple months for them to restock the 22" size and finally gave up.

I am not familiar with the "common driver's side streak."

Heh! Yep. For the Pilot, not knowing any better at the time, I tossed the wiper blade assembly the first time I replaced them. For the RL, I kept the blade assembly (I think) but the local dealer wants too much for the replacement blades... so I spend even more for brand X. Go figure.

I figured it was time to experiment a little. ;)

Before I answer that question, let me check the lottery results tonight. :D

Yay! Another winner! ($1)

Looks like the 2008 RL is a keeper! ;)

If you were to win the lottery, I highly doubt you'd be tooling around in a Colorado. Just sayin'... :act024:
Exactly! ;)
