Any opinion on the Jenkos @VS_Pete ?
They are on discount again so I would like to know what you think.
My 303'ed anonymous wipers have been going better than expected. But let's see how good they are after our first real hot day for the season today.

I’ve tried other refill type blades before on my VEs and ended up going back to the Tridon ones. The refill ones I’ve bought are lucky to last 12 months before they start chattering or not wiping cleanly. The Tridon flex blades last at least two years if not three before I have to bother changing them.

No rain yet only a window wash.
Working ok.

I always change wipers around summer time.
The cars are out in the sun.

Yeah, sun damage would probably be the biggest wear factor for wiper blades, especially here in oz. My car is parked undercover most days so I don’t have this issue.
