I have had a RainX blade on my Sienna that lasted for 3 1/2 years, which is a record for me since I've started keeping track of how long they last.
I noticed that a few inches of rubber blade had detached itself from the rest of the assembly so I finally swapped it out this morning.
When taking it off, I noticed that the unit in the middle that attaches the blade to the wiper arm, was different from the units that I normally see with the Rain X Expert Fit Conventional line that I usually buy.
The first pic is what I usually see, a latch of sorts that can swivel around in any direction. The second pic is the only time I recall seeing this (on the 3.5 yo blade). Not sure how to describe it.
I didn't write down in my spreadsheet what line this long lasting blade was, only that it was RainX. Does this attachment unit mean that it wasn't the Expert Fit Conventional line? Does anyone else know what RainX line it could have been? Reason why I want to know, is that I think I'll start using that line from here on out if I can get them to last that long.
