Anyone else using the reflex wipers from Canadian Tire on an S series or any
other car for that matter?
My first set was fine for about 9 months then they started to curl on the
ends. I bent them back into shape and got another few months. My second
(present) set started to curl after the first month. I really like these
wipers because they don't lift at higher speeds but I don't see the use in
paying that much for a 22" wiper that is only clearing a 15" path.
Basically wondering if anybody else has had this problem if it might be the
curve of the windshield, the length of the blades or just the cold here in
NB, Canada.

I've heard rave reviews of these wipers (not by Saturn owners mind you, by
Civic owners) so I went into my local CT to pick em up. First time I was in
there they were sold out, I figured it was due to high demand and I said
that to the salesman and he kind of dodged the answer..... so I waited 2
weeks and went back and found again that they had none in stock, I asked the
salesguy why, and he told me that their entire stock was either missing the
proper type of clips needed to attach them to the wiper arms, or the clips
that were in the packaging was the wrong size / broke upon first use so they
had to return the entire shipment and they weren't sure if they would carry
them anymore.

I ended up getting a set of jobbers for half the price and am quite happy
with them :)
YMMV of course

I had the same question in my mind as Roy. Thanks for the feedback. I
wondered about them.

I forked out for the Teflon wipers and I've really liked those, but I'm
definitely holding off on the Reflex from what you've said.
