Rain-X Silicone Endura was designed with the wiper blade consumer
in mind. Qualitative focus group research provided ins to
the top features and benefits desired in a wiper blade; consumers
want it to be durable and long-lasting while consistently
performing in a variety of temperatures and environmental
conditions. From the icy cold winters in the north to the
year-round blazing heat of the south, the next step in the
innovation process was to develop a wiper blade that met these
specifications. Rain-X, a brand leader in wiper blades and water
repelling technologies, introduces the newest addition to the
wiper blade portfolio. Rain-X Silicone Endura features a
precision engineered silicone rubber squeegee, with proprietary
graphite coating, specially formulated for use in wiper blades to
provide ultimate durability and extreme all-weather
performance. Ultimate DURABILITY The Rain-X Silicone Endura
squeegee is proven to last 2X longer than traditional natural
rubber squeegees, based on third-party testing. Designed to
endure through the toughest conditions, the silicone squeegee
maintains excellent stability and performance during long-term
exposure to harsh climates and environmental elements. The
silicone rubber is resistant to the motor oils, fluids and
solvents encountered on the road that cause rubbers to
rapidly deteriorate. BUILT FOR TOUGH WEATHER CLIMATES Rain-X
Silicone Endura provides superior wipe quality in the most
extreme temperatures (tested to -20°F and +194°F). The squeegee
won’t dry out and crack in the summer heat, or freeze and break
in the winter cold. The resilient silicone rubber is designed to
provide exceptional wipe performance in all types of severe or
inclement weather conditions experienced while driving, such as:
heat, wind, rain, sleet, snow, and ice Blade Size

Have You Changed Your Wiper Blades Lately?
------------------------------------------
Wiper blades should be replaced every six months to a year or as
soon as you notice a difference in driving visibility. When wiper
blades no longer make proper contact with the windshield surface,
they can begin to squeak, chatter, skip, smear or streak reducing
driving visibility.
Remember to check your wiper blades as part of your regular
preventative maintenance program!
****************************
Wiper Blade Maintenance Tips
****************************
Visibility is fundamental to safe driving. Although drivers
depend on their vehicles’ wiper blades to clear away rain, sleet
and snow, many wait to replace them until they need them the
most. So remembering to maintain wiper blades regularly can
maximize visibility, efficiency and reliability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wiper blades deteriorate due to many environmental factors
including:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Sun: Ultraviolet light and ozone deterioration
* Oil: Car waxes and exhaust hold rubber-deteriorating oil
* Airborne debris: Sand, mud and dust carried in the wind
* Moisture: rain and salt water (in moist air both near the
shore and inland)
Remember, wiper blades should be checked every six months and
changed at least once a year. Evaluate both the rubber squeegee
and the metal frames to avoid common problems such as streaking,
skipping, chattering, wearing and splitting – all offenders of
reduced visibility and slowed reaction time while driving.
*********************
Common Wiper Problems
*********************
* Streaking occurs when the rubber squeegee dries, hardens and
cracks. It can also be caused by tree sap, road tar and other
foreign substances collected on either the glass or the blade.
* Skipping occurs when the blade develops a curvature from lack
of use (e.g. left in the ‘parked position’ for an extended length
of time).
* Wearing occurs with extensive use and is when the rubber edges
are rounded instead of squared.
* Splitting is caused when the sun’s ultraviolet rays penetrate
the rubber squeegee, causing it to breakdown and separate from
the frame.
* Bent Refill Vertebra and Bent Frames cause inconsistent contact
with the glass surface, creating streaking or skipping.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Avoid these common problems and extend the life of your wiper
blades by following these simple steps:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Clean your windshield every time you fill your tank.
* Gently wipe the rubber squeegee with a damp paper towel to
remove any loose dirt or oil.
* Never use your windshield wipers to de-ice your windshield.
Instead, either use an ice scraper or use your defroster to melt
snow and ice.
* Pull your wiper blades away from the windshield during winter
months to prevent ice build up on the rubber squeegee and to
prevent them from sticking to the windshield.
Efficient wiper blades are as important to a vehicle’s safe
operation as clean oil and good tires. So remember to change your
wiper blades at least once a year, to inspect them frequently for
wear and tear and to enjoy the view!
