Wipers - Reflex v Viewmax v Stock
Have any if you had any experience using the Reflex or Viewmax wipers? Are they any better than the stock ones? Currently I\\\'m finding the stock wipers are \\\"sticky\\\", perhaps they just need to be cleaned?
In any case just wondering if the Reflex/Viewmax options are a better way to go?
Thanks for any advice/help!

The Relfex are better than stock as well... I have had them for 6-7 months.

Reflex is better than stock.
I\'m convinced that the stock blades scratched my front windshield.

I have used the Reflex wipers for about 6 months... love em. I have used RainX since day 1. I think the RainX yellow or pink fluid made a bigger difference than the wipers did. Water just beads off the glass almost don\'t need wipers

I had Reflex until 2 days ago when the blade decided to go for a trip down 400 around king road. I left the car in the sun over the weekend and on sunday night the blade came off ( it\'s just glued on the the plastic thing that bends). I would recommend them cause they do a lot better job than the stock ones, but Im going to try the Wal-mart ones next. I think they\'re cheaper than reflexes too.

Only complaint I have about the Viewmax blades is the fact that they are discoloured on the top.

I prefer reflex over the standard style, they give a cleaner wipe when you have light rain.
The only problem I have with them is wiper jumping, they jump when going back to the home position (ie the downstroke). Does anyone else have this? or a solution? I\'m wondering if there is a lube for the blade to help it move more easily on the glass when it\'s super clean so that it won\'t stick and jump.

Yeah, I applied from a coating in may sometime. I also use the pink fluid. The jumping only happens when there is a certain amount of rain comming down. More than a little, and less than a lot. Just enough that when the wiper makes the first half of the stroke that the window is clear and on the return it starts sticking and jumps its way back.Originally posted by Skarbro

I\'m back on reflex now after playing with some newer standard type wipers. I was thinking that maybe i needed more spring load in the wiper arm, but i\'m a bit nervous in doing that.

Does this discolouration happen over a period of time? I got the Viewmax, seemed better than the Reflex in terms of construction, lets see how they perform over time!Originally posted by FLIPSPEED

I had reflex blades on my last Mazda protege for about 10 months before I traded the car in, they were great even in the winter, I\'m thinking of putting them on my new car now too.
