RAV4J;

Mine fitted with Dura-edge. Make sure they are ori. No need to apply rain-
x on windscreen or oil supplement for the blade. Just make sure to clean
the blade with clean cloth or tissue will do. No need to lift up wiper
when parking under the hot sun.
Already 5 months old no problem...if compare with conventional type after
2-3 months, need replacement....very very costly. One more good thing, if
any problem just go back to the authorised dealer in Kelana jaya and get
them replace F.O.C....no question asked.

Regards

Hi Dar;

The main distributor Tel # 03-78054001. Call them for appointment.
located close to Kelana Medical Center. Bought mine around RM60.00 (only
the rubber wiper). If the wiper frame still good, no need replacement.
they will check it for you and advice given.

Most original wipers starts from RM60.00 onwards. guaranteed
satisfaction. Give a try no harm.

Good luck. Cheers mike.

i've been using it for 2 yrs no problem. I've bought mine in cosway, the
frame is made from plastic so the problem is the wiper is light weight so
not very efficient better used steel frame.

I've been using the DuraEdge wiper blades (redeemed them from Bonuslink).
They are quite good at withstanding the heat from the sun, but they skip
a bit especially if the rain is light. And the return sweep leaves water
trails. But since this happens only to my right wiper, I've got a feeling
that the right one's a bit defective.

i am using DuraEdge for about one year, not problem so far. I am not
border at all to flip it up when it is under hot sun, it got one to one
replacement if damage, just belif it. It also ack like RainX, rain water
not stick on the windscreen even not switch the wiper on during light rain.
