I bought a set of rainx vision blades for truck. First off they are the hardest blades to put on with all their adapters, took 30 mins for both sides and I've been putting blades on for 60 yrs. After they were installed I must say, I should have kept the old worn out ones. They worked way better. Chatter and streaks all over. What a waste of money. Do yourself a favor and pick a different brand. RainX sucks.

A few months ago
A few months ago, I purchased Rainx latitude windshield wipers the same day I noticed chattering streaking missing spots on my windshield some of the worst performing windshield wipers I have ever had I could not believe how terrible they were snow would build up underneath cause extreme missing and I thought the whole point of a beam blade is to help prevent that as soon as it gets cold they chatter like crazy. I emailed the company please please follow this link but doesn’t work on any phone so I had to dig up my old iMac filed a claim waited about month month and a half. I contact them. What’s your claim number? I gave it to them. Oh that’s not a valid number. you have to re-file I’m like oh my God really? So I re-file only to get an email now saying it’s denied never again I will not buy their products what a waste of $50 nothing but a run around with their claim processes.

Hopeless
Hopeless. Tried several times, meticulously following the instructions on the website (there were none with the bottle) with same negative result. If anything, it made matters worse, with streaks (despite much rubbing) and causing a wet patch instead of the usual mist on the windscreen.

How to break your screen-washer pump in…
How to break your screen-washer pump in one easy step...
Having recently purchased Rain-X screen wash, I feel compelled to warn fellow drivers about my experience with this product; which, in my opinion, is not fit for purpose. Simply put, it caused a total failure of my washer reservoir pump.
I drive an Audi TT and have used numerous screen wash brands over the years, none have caused any issues. Enter Rain-X. Within moments of filling the reservoir, the pump stopped working. Completely. No sputter, no warning, just silence, truly Rain-X dead.
What followed was a pointless exercise of Rain-X induced rage, a common event amongst Rain-X victims. It begins with removing the wheel to access the reservoir, draining the system, flushing the tank / pipes, and ends with a scene out of 'Falling-Down'.
Unfortunately, despite my efforts, it appears I was unable to repair the damage. I shudder to think of the cocktail of chemicals used in this product; suffice to say, next time I'm called upon to unblock the latest 'super-fat-plug' blocking London's sewer system, I'll be sure to take a thimble-full of Rain-X with me. Until then, a costly visit to the Audi service centre awaits.
Astonishingly, this isn’t a one-off. It turns out Rain-X is known for its damaging effects, harming certain car brands more than others. A quick scan of various owners’ forums reveals an alarming number of similar stories. So the obvious question is: if this is such a common problem, why on earth isn’t there a clear warning on the bottle? Something like, 'Not suitable for use in X, Y, and Z vehicles. May cause complete washer system failure.'
As someone with a professional background in brand management, I’d be more than happy to write the warning label myself. Frankly, it should lead the company’s 2025 ad campaign. Short, punchy, and brutally honest:
'Rain-X: DON’T BUY IT.'
You’re welcome.

WARNING
WARNING! I have used the original Rain X without any apparent issues yet. However, I put Rain X Screenwash in my car yesterday and immediately my screenwash stopped working. From research this is a known problem of Rain X damaging cars and costing hundreds of pounds to fix.

I contacted the company about the difference in their products due to the chemicals used in it being in all products and it causes water to do the same thing, they were more than happy to tell me what they use in the other product and what the difference is. They were polite, professional and informative. 10/10

Anti fog just made my windscreen worse
Anti fog just made my windscreen worse. Clean from the start, I followed the instructions but it's all smeared and without cleaning it all off, can't get it off.

Ready mixed screen wash damaged paintwork
I recently bought 5L of rainx ready mixed screen wash and used it in a classic Saab and it has damaged the paintwork. I have emailed the company. I have used it before and did not notice any damage to the paintwork. But then the paintwork on my classic Saab is immaculate and everywhere that the rainx has gone on to the paintwork it has left marks that I can not polish out. I am waiting for the company to come back to me and I will further review with the outcome. I am hoping that we can work together and come up with a solution and find out what has gone wrong. I would not recommend any rainx screen wash product. I can not comment on the stuff you only rub in to the glass. Obviously that will not go on to your paintwork. But at the moment. I will never use rainx again until the company has come back to me and we have solved the problem.
