If one were to go with rain x blades/inserts on a 92 LS, which ones?

Also, are they easy/hard to put on?

Are there better ones out there?

Why isn't the Bosch Icon made for the 92 LS? (As far as I can tell?)

I have Rain-x Latitudes. They work very well, but the passenger side wiper does not retract all the way under the hood (it is a bit too tall). It might work if you get a smaller size for the passenger side than is recommended.

Got it, thanks. I'll stay away from the Latitudes.

I find that they are a tad too soft to take any kind of debris which tends to want to adhere to your window (bird ****). Great with moisture though!

I use them on the truck for work (22's). They are great for the moisture, however, as stated, they do have a bit of a time clearing away windshield smears (bugs, bird poop, etc). I do understand that I am using them under extreme conditions. Not many products can take the abusive conditions that a tractor trailer will give them.

Thanks trukn. If I may ask, what wipers do you use on your beautiful LS?

I have got generics on there for now. I do plan to use the Rain-X's on the LS as well. I only installed them on the tractor trailer that I drive for work b/c I was at a friends install shop and he had then in the bargain bin for like $5. Said he ordered them for someone for their SUV, but they changed their mind and he was now stuck with them. Just wanted them gone so he sold them to me for $5. My truck uses a 22" wiper blade, sowhy not for $5?

i'm a fan of the OEM lexus blades as they're both Graphite, and cheap.

I'm also using the OEM blades. The ones in mine are now 5 years old, no complaints. Was talking with Lexkost at the Pursuit meet, he gets 1 out of them. YMMV.
