Frameless vs Traditional Wiper Blades

[niky]

It really depends on the brand. There's not much difference with the "fly-away" Witems... of course, they're very clear when new, but they start wiggling after a whle at high speed.

The stiffer Bosch Icons should be just as tough as the metal ones.

Supposedly, the rubber wipers will stick better, as they won't stiffen up like a metal assembly, and they're a bit more pedestrian friendly. But the only good reason to change at the moment is that they look good.

It's reason enough for me.

New cars are making them standard on their lineup so I guess they're worth it.

On the other hand, it also depends on what car you have. Hindi yan bagay sa mga classics/restored cars.

We have a pair on my dad's Civic, ok naman tahimik and smooth. Pero I guess dahil bago rin. Time will tell. He got them from Alfie, yung nagbebenta ng Jazz parts sa Banawe. It's beside Mr. Poon. Forgot how much.

sila caloyski nagbebenta... P800/pair

yung may fram is around P500/pair (NWB).

ILD> baka hindi maganda ang kabit... when snapping it to the wiper stalk... dapat mag "click" pa din.

uy uy. bakal brackets namin and NOT the witem brand

we do not sell the plastic bracket flyaway churva (pero bumili ako dati, sira na) hehe

Nakakabit now sa kotse ko HLT 20/18 ang size... wala naman wiggle at high speed.. na try ko na 100 KPH w/ rain ... di naman nahulog.. hehheh...

Pero parang may squeeking sound lang pag konti lang ulan... di ko alam kung san yon eh... yung dati kong denso ay di ganon.... tapos kaka polish ko lang ng windshield less than a month ago.

maganda sya mag wipe ng windshield... clear naman... pero di sya masyadong outstanding para sakin. Teka, san ba "made" ang HLT?

Bai, pre pag nakabili ka patingin naman :D

ild, for your appreciation. :D



double lock - bosch icon like

[baiskee]

driver's view hehehe :D

[mbeige]

Hindi ba baliktad? Yung vertical "fin" ng blade dapat nasa likod, parang spoiler siya?

[baiskee]

di ko alam...check ko, di kasi ako nagkabit eh.

[baiskee]

mukhang tama sya...kasi sa bosch, pareho yung position.

[mbeige]

Hmm, weird lang. Nakakapanibago. We test drove a Honda Fit dito sa US ganun din wiper niya same as yours, same orientation din. Oh well...

[baiskee]

maganda naman yung hagod nya...perhaps, it was designed to press it hard pa sa windshield.
