I have had them on my truck for 18 months and they still work as well as day
one. I do clean them thoroughly from time to time. I think it was Ray
Irons that posted a really bit of advice from his retired mailman Father

can no longer find...oldtimers disease I guess, again...

I have never had this problem yet, but my wiper blades always seem to
wear out very quickly. Has anyone tried these SilBlades yet?

I read at review about them that says they are good. But the reviewer
said they would update his review after some long term testing but
they never did.
