I just put Annco Contour Blades on my truck, and I gotta say they are amazing. They are pricey at 20 bucks ea, but I figured I would try them out. I've tried every wiper out there, and for the rain, these blades are superior to anyone Blade I've tried. I too run the RainX on the windshield and in the Res. But again, I just can't say enough about how impressed with the Annco contour blades I am.

I got the 20's. I'm not near my truck , but I'm pretty sure that's what's on there now. I'm not to worried about a couple of inches.

If you want something Amazon doesn't have, the main silblade site is having a 15% off sale right now. Still more than Amazon, but they are on sale.

I don't think you can underestimate the power of this FTE medium for selling things. Especially if it's a real good deal and something everyone uses. Take Rotella 5-40 full syn. and Wally world, perfect example.

I second that analogy, we read then we talk then we buy, simple FTE is the best advertizing.

That is so true. I would never have considered buying these wipers if it weren't for FTE.

i ordered the 24"ers for my 06 250 during Amazon's buy 1 get 1 free, yesterday; and, they already arrived and were put on the truck. i didn't think they would be here already.

I'm not certain why ford put 20" blades on when 24" fit perfectly.

the silblades are quiet on a dry windshield...turns out my wiper fluid is empty.

i hope they actually last years and not months in this humid and hot Houston weather.

Just put on a set of 22" Silblades. I believe they are going to be fine. I had just put on a New Rainx and it squeaked as soon as it made a couple of swipes.

I actually eneded up sending back 2 of the 4 blades I got. 1 chattered and chopped on every pass up and the other left a huge spot "un-wiped". I hope a 50% fail rate isn't indicative of the long term quality.

Best wipers I've ever used and have a 5 year warranty. I've had a set on the wifes Explorer for 5 years now and still work as well as when they were new. The set on my truck is 2 years old and still work like new, and it sits outside every day. They don't even compare to the ones like Bosch or other stuff from the parts store. Passing along some info...
Just ordered me a pair of 22's from Amazon, tonight. $15.99 each and free shipping. Hope they're everything they say they are!
