After market wipers for Model X

[Leftysmasher]

Any suggestions on after market wipers for the X that do a better job than the stock ones? Just had 2 days of rain with the the stock wipers and the performance was less than desirable. Thanks.

I have the standard ones but use Rain-X and have had great success I'd say.

I have glassparency on the windshield and the stock wipers now are no problem at all. Actually if I'm driving 50mph or more, I don't even need wipers as the water just flies off the car. Best $125 I spent ever. Guaranteed for 3 years and includes quarterly touchups

I thought they had special wipers where the wiper fluid came out of the special wipers when activated. It sounds like we are able to just change the blade on the X?

You are correct according to how the manual reads. See below:

Does it mean that there are really no aftermarket wiper blades to replace the OEM? That sounds strange. When they say in Amazon and eBay that the wipers would fit Model X, those pictures of the blades don't seem to have the holes. Anyone has experience in using the aftermarket blades without any issues on MX?

You might post a question on Amazon or eBay asking the manufacturer how these 3rd party blades get washer fluid to the windshield.

How was the performance less than desirable. My first set would chatter a bit, but they replaced them with a new set and they are silky smooth.
