AutoTex Frameless WipersWINTER USAGE WARNING:Like any other rubber wiper blade, the blade can/will freeze at really cold temperatures rendering it less effective.These are 22" frameless wiper blades, similar to the frameless design found on most foreign luxury cars within the past 2-3 model years. The main feature of the frameless design is a reduction in the number of moving parts, joints, and components. Instead of a frame with several joints, you end up with a single rubber squeegee integrated with a flat metal spring and a composite aero "wing" surface.In my experience with other frameless wipers from Trico (NeoForm), Rain-X Latitude, Pylon/Michelin Radius, and Bosch, they are not worse or better than quality framed wiper blades but they do cost 2-3 times more. They still suffer from the same problems in the winter, namely with the rubber squeegee getting hard or freezing up. TripleEdge is one manufacturer that uses silicone for the squeegee and I had used a set of TripleEdge blades for nearly a decade without any problems. I only changed them because the silicone had started to fall apart.The AutoTex "Pink" has a pink ribbon logo that shows how Autotex is dedicated to wiping out breast cancer. This logo is visible to the occupants of the car when the wipers are at rest. The Autotex blades install just like any other traditional wiper blade. The standard J-hook adapter that comes with the blade is easy to use, but does not have a retention tab. It simply slides and clicks into place, and has an external latch that keeps it from walking. Rain-X Latitudes will have a retention tab inside of the clip that fits into the "hole" at the end of the J-hook.I used the AutoTex blade through a heavy rain storm and didn't detect any performance deficiencies, they work just as good as any other frameless blade at the beginning. I did not hear any chattering at high speeds (70+ MPH), and there was no streaking. The true test of performance comes with age (6-12 months of use) and snow/ice. I installed the Autotex on my winter daily driver and it sees a lot of winter precipitation here in Michigan, so I will keep updating this review as I find stuff to write about!Pros: Contribute to the global war on breast cancer, and help wipe out this atrocity that has claimed the lives of millions of loved ones.Cons: None.Overall: 3/5, could use a better retention adapter, still need to see how well it handles colder temperatures.UPDATE: After 16 months, these blades have bought the farm and are chattering even in warm temperatures. They performed on-par with other frameless blades in winter conditions, but I re-installed the Rain-X frameless blade that I removed to test this AutoTex blade.I would recommend you just buy name-brand framed wiper blades and replace them every year to be on the safe side. It takes 5 minutes to do, just wear gloves to avoid cutting yourself when changing the blades.
