    I've seen a lot of wipers in the market and a lot of people are opting for the bracketless wipers. It looks good and all but then does it really do the job.
    A lot of my friends (Honda Owners) used these wipers but then shifted to conventional wipers because of the same reason: "Pare, magandang tignan pero dahil wala syang bracket at pag malakas na yung ulan, di sya ganun kaganda. Walang syang pabigat sa wiper causing the it not to wipe a lot of water off your windshield."
    Another thing would be the battle of silicon and rubber wipers. Some say rubber lasts longer and some say silicon does it longer and better.
    So if in case you would need to replace your wiper, what would you use?

    i would still go for the conventional. i really do not want to experiment and go outside of the stock look eh.

    AFAIK, the bracketless wipers was introduced by Mercedes. It may be that it is designed for their cars only?

    Well, if your car's wiper mechanism wasn't designed to handle bracketless wipers... then just go for the conventional ones.
