Hey, everybody, welcome to etrailer.com. I'm Bobby, and today we're taking a look at the Wiper Technologies Premium RV Wiper Blades, and these are going to be your vintage flex style. As you guys can see here today, what that means, you can see these little guys are going to be open. That means they're not gonna be catching the wind as much and you can see our open frame style here as well, allowing that air to go ahead and circulate throughout it. Now why that's great, you're going to be reaching some pretty high miles per hour moving out there on your RVs, and you're going to find yourself driving on those highways a lot, of course. So, if you find yourself traveling quite a little bit, these are going to be excellent.
So, what that means for this vintage, we're not going to have any of that wind lift on this guy. So that's gonna allow the wind to go through it and we're not going to have that impacting our frame the entire time. What that's gonna allow us to do in conjunction, with these little frames right here, guys, you can see this constant pressure here, that's going to give us a great contact there on the entirety of our window. So, it's simply going to go ahead and make sure we have no skips, not going to be leaving any streaks. It's gonna go ahead and do a great job of making sure we're getting all of that gunk, rainwater off of our windshield and therefore we're going to be able to see and get where we need to go in a nice safe fashion.
So I really do like these guys. They do a great job of going ahead and getting on here. And it's nice to see some actual RV wiper blades out here. You are going to be knowing that they're going to be having that nice durability and that quality, and they're gonna be lasting you for the seasons to come, which is going to be great. Now, the one thing I will say here, they're only, they are only a single blade actionable item here.
So what that means we only have the one blade, right So one thing I will say, you have the scrubbed blades out there, they have those dual actions. I could see this maybe not doing as great as those guys at getting your bug guts off of your windshield. However, I still think this is going to be an excellent little way of still getting them off of there, especially they're probably gonna be a little fresh, probably not going to take us too much wiper blade fluid to go ahead and get them off of here. And one thing that's really nice about them too, they don't take too much time to install. They're gonna be a pretty simple process.
We're going to walk that through here together in just a second. So yeah guys, it does have a nice little graphite coating on there too. What that allows it to do of course is easily glide and be nice, smooth across your windshield as it goes and that graphite makes it hold up just a little bit longer than you might start seeing from some of your other older wiper blade models out there. Well, it's not going to take us too long to get this installed, let's go ahead and see how we can do that together. All right guys, now we're talking about the hardware here. What we will look at for installation is our hardware that comes with it. So these two guys right here, it's actually what comes with our wiper technologies. What's right here is the previous bolt that was holding onto our older wiper blades on there. So one thing to take note, you guys can see this guy's actually a little bit longer here than our new included hardware. So one thing I would suggest if you guys can go ahead and use your old hardware here, it's going to come with a washer and a locknut as well. And just, unfortunately, just be a little bit better than what we're actually getting included with our purchase. Now I will say, this is going to be working great for a spare, or if your hardware's damaged, you guys can go ahead and utilize this. However, for us here today at least, we we're definitely seeing that this was kind of wanting to sink up into the well here and we'll kind of show you that later in that installation, but keep in mind a locknut, they are, sorry, a lock washer and a washer is going to be coming in very handy to go ahead and actually get between here and your nut and that's for when you're kind of bringing it up, it's not going to sink into that well. It's going to sit right there and that washer is going to hold that in place. So let's go ahead and see how we can use these to get them fully installed. All right, guys, so we've gone ahead and walked out one of our arms here today. Now normally we do go ahead and put a terrycloth or something to prevent this from walking into your windshield. We don't want this to be snapping back and cracking it. That can definitely be a cost to repair. I really just suggest kind of standing in between it here. That's going to give you, A, really good access to actually get this guy inserted and B, you're definitely gonna have an easier time keeping this going to the outside, as you won't be accidentally pulling it in towards yourself, and therefore we're not going to have this interacting with our windshield. So we do have our old spacer in here today. That's actually going to be what we're going to leave in place as it does come with another spacer as well. You can see though, this guy is just going to be a universal fit. So not going to be kind of conforming nearly as good as the original that's on here. And secondly, the original that's on here just gave us a little bit of a better fit overall to go ahead and actually squeeze in here. The one we had was leaving it just a little bit loose. Now again, you can go ahead and combat that by making sure you do have a good washer set. The problem we are running into is that the bolts here, let me go ahead and just give you guys a little visual representation. This guy was wanting to sinch all the way up inside there. Now this guy isn't gonna be able to fall in, but our other nut that comes included is a little bit smaller, this is the original hardware. So that was an issue we're running into. I think with the washer set as well, the universal fit will fit in here properly. Just keep in mind, it is a little loose before you tighten it down, but since we don't need this spacer, we can actually just go ahead and put in our blade here today. So we simply want to make sure we're in the right position here for ourselves, walking it up, and you can actually kind of align it from down below, which is great. Of course, make sure your frame isn't walking itself in. Simply take your bolt, run it all the way through, that's going to expose the thread on the other side. So we simply need to put on our flat washer first, our lock washer, and then of course our nut that's going to be holding us on. So let's go ahead and put this guy on. Now when you're putting these guys on and off, we went ahead and utilized an 11 millimeter ratchet set to go ahead and get this guy properly loosened. Now that we have our socket we can go ahead and just simply tighten it up. Now, one thing to look forward to, you're going to feel that bolt wanting to move on the other side. Now you really don't need to get it any more tighter than this, you guys can see that's in line very good, and we still want just a little bit of movement here, right That's going to be good. That's going to allow us to conform to our windshield even as we're in movement. Well, now that we have it installed, we can go ahead, repeat the process on the other side and we'll be completely installed for ourselves, but while we've got it up here, let's go ahead and just look at some of the differences here of our old blade. So, of course we are utilizing just a little contour blade here today. Now those guys do a decent job, however, I am always kind of worried about these ends coming undone as you don't have constant pressure here, much like you do with our vintage. So here we're having that frame contact, right That's pushing us on this point, on these points, on these points and these points. We're having constant pressure pushing our blade in. For your RV driving or your motor home driving. You're definitely gonna have a lot more highway miles, a lot of higher speeds, a lot of times you're hitting those big open stretches through Kansas or whatever, right And that wind really starts ripping you. You can start seeing these guys kind of do a little bit of this action and that starts leaving skips and gaps. What's going to be great with this guy, as we mentioned before, we're going to have that constant pressure on the entirety of the blade. Therefore, we're not going to have any skids or any marks where we're not actually getting all that rain, and it's doing a great job of making sure we have the vision we need to get safely where we want to go. All right, everybody, now that we have it installed, we can go ahead and see how they do of actually getting any of that rainwater off of here. So I'm just gonna go ahead and simulate a little rain here with the wiper blade fluids, as you guys can see, we're getting pretty good coverage there. I'm kind of seeing a lot of pressure being put on the blades here. It's kind of was leading it to have this kind of skipping effect here at the bottom, but it's definitely given me clear access to see out. I'm not seeing too much streaking going on. I am seeing a little residue being left behind, but yeah still getting a nice coverage there, making sure I can still see out, which is great. Now, one thing here in the Baytown, I would love it a little bit more to the left, but it looks like that's just more of a mechanical kind of how it's set up, kind of ends right around right here. But yeah, overall, I'm not seeing these skips. It's doing a great job of actually getting everything off. I am seeing maybe here in this bottom left corner, just a little bit being left behind. Now again though, that's kind of how that arm is ending here, just on the particular RV that we have it on. So that's just something to kind of look out for. But again, I think that's just more of a mechanical issue, rather than anything to do with our actual blades. Well guys, let's review what we saw. We definitely saw just a little bit of streaking at the beginning stages when our arms we're going. And I think predominantly we're running a couple issues there because, A. we're using wiper blade fluid, that's gonna be a little bit different than you might see from actual rain. And secondly, we didn't have too much on there as well. And you saw after just a few more passes, the streaks we're quickly taken off. I think what's happening too here, we are having a little bit, I think, more pressure than we we're seeing with the old blades that we had installed on this guy and why that is, we have those constant points of contact, right And pressure from our actual frame. What that's doing is really giving us a nice push here on our windshield. However, when you don't have a lot of rain that tends to end up just a little bit of residue being left behind. I think these guys are actually going to be performing a lot better, the more consistent, and the more amount of rain you actually have on them. I think we'll see definitely more than a nominal upgrade of performance when you actually put these really to the test. Well guys, overall, these definitely did a great job of just going ahead and getting that rain out of my way, right And at the end of the day, that's all you can really ask from wiper blades. Now personally, I wasn't the biggest fan of the hardware that actually came included with this guy. I would like to see a little bit of a washer set coming with it, that would have been great, really allowing you to make sure that you're not sinking that nut in too much. And we actually have a good hold here on your blades when they are being installed. But other than that, I think they performed really, really well. I actually am a very big fan of this vintage design. Now, unfortunately, I wasn't able to take it out on the highway and really put them to the test, but I think you are going to see a pretty substantial upgrade from your normal frame designs, especially as you start reaching those higher mile per hour, as you're just going to have a lot more wind resistance, a lot more lift, and hopefully that's really going to cut it down. Overall guys, going to be a great little way of just going ahead, giving a small little upgrade to your RV, to make sure that you can see outside of the windshield at all times with no issue. Well guys, I think that about does it for our look at the Wiper Technologies Premium RV Wiper Blades Vintage Style, here today at etrailer.com. I'm Bobby. Thank you for watching..

Ratings & Reviews
Very helpful tech support and the product looks high quality
Perfect replacement.
Ver little use and one of them is already coming apart.
Product was easy to install and perfect replacement!
As promised, the wiper blades were at the campground when we arrived. Great service, as always!
Packages were open and part loose in the box.
Good quality.
The wipers do not last a year. The rubber dries out and the blades peel after about 7 months. Perhaps that is normal for RV wiper blades but, there are not many options that I have been able to find.
Perfect fit
These wipers worked great for about a month. Then, one of them began separating during a windy, rainy day. That could have turned out to be a bad situation driving a 43' motorhome.
I had these on my motorhome for about 4 months when the part of the blade that contacts the windshield began to separate from the rest of the wiper. Do not recommend.
The shipping and packing from e trailer is fantastic. The WT wipers are good the only bad thing is WT doesn’t have any replacement rubber blades. These are on a motor home I will have to try to get more than a year out of the blades.
These are junk! The blade separated from the rest of the rubber base. My RV is stored inside when not in use and the wipers have covers when we camp. These lasted less than a year. Not what I would expect.
I ordered these in Early February and they worked ok for the first couple of trips in our Motorhome. They did not clean the windshield well but mostly kept the rain off so I could see to drive. We returned from a trip at the end of June and the blades started missing bigger swaths of the windshield. Some of the rubber blades had begun to peel away. It turns out there is no warranty as the blades are a wear item and should be replaced every 6 months. Out of the 4 months I had them they were on the road less than 30 days. I would avoid this product. I am in search of another option.
Unfortunately the wiper blades I purchased were less than what I expected. They were exact replacements but skipped across the window and now are slowly disintegrating and starting to tear. I was expecting something that would last but leave a black residue when touched.
Easy ordering, fast shipping, product arrived in perfect condition.
Shipping was fast and product was as stated. Easy installation. Would,again

The rubber on the wiper didnt hold up it separated from the blade. Had to replace.
Well, it’s been a while since I received my order. At the time I didn’t want to write a review because I have ‘other’ things to do which are usually more pressing. But, since you reminded me again and I am at the moment convalescing with all the other things which need to usually be done I said to myself “what the heck, why not”.
So, here’s the GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY!
I did receive the package in a timely manner. However, whoever packed it up in your shipping department could have done MUCH better. By the time the package reached my location one of the 36 inch wiper blades managed to work its way out of one of the corner flaps and was sticking out at least a foot, which could have been catastrophic results. Luckily, that wasn’t the case because naturally I would have contacted you if the item suffered damage. I even took some pictures but, did not include them here because honestly I was not in the mood to ‘dig them out’ at this time (call me lazy), but since I am a photographer I shoot a lot of pics. But, if you decide that it is extremely important for you to verify my assertion and make it my worthwhile I might just be swayed to do it.
OK! Just wanted to let you know that I haven’t ‘tested’ the wipers out yet since I won’t actually be using the motorhome until later this year and couldn’t see any valid reason to ‘bake’ them in the sun, because they are not THAT cheap.
Hope this review is to your satisfaction.
The wiper tore at the top almost immediately. They will not clear the windshiled of water for the bottom and top 3 or 4 inches.
The rubber part of wiper blades began to fall apart after two months of usage and didn’t work well from the start. I would’ve returned them but we were on a four month trip and I also discarded the receipt. I replaced with Trico RV wipers from another online vendor and they’re much better so far and cost less.
I use it on a 2022 Tiffin Allegro Bus 45OPP.
Easy to install and no problems with it. Does a good job.
They are starting to separate out at the end of the wiper falling apart

I have gotten in contact with the manufacturer and they have not been able to confirm a warranty for these specific wipers. However, they have stated that the blades are a wearable item and they should be replaced about every 6 months even if they don’t get use very often.
The blades worked good, but now one of them has the strip that does the wiping separating from the base for about 4” from the end leaving no wiper and the base scraping in the windshield. This motorhome is kept in a totally enclosed building when not in use and when we did use the coach last year it was about 6 weeks in total, when on the road I have magna shade covers for the entire wiper blade to protect them from the sun when parked. In summary I am not pleased with these blades, it may be a one off failure??
Everybody has to buy windshield wipers. I just wish they were more durable and packaged better. I received the wipers well boxed from etrailer but the flimsy plastic packaging the wipers are in aren't sealed, just a flap folded over on the ends. The attachment bolt in one was rolling around in the box and the other one didn't have the bolt or the spacer at all. Don't throw away old parts, you might need them.

Oh my goodness! I want to look into this for you. Can you confirm that you are using this on a 2017 Ford E Series cutaway? Would you be able to send me a picture of them.
