Worked while it lasted
Tagged a star off because the blades didn't last as much as I was expecting them too. Installation was a little tricky too, but I guess that goes for other blades too. It was wiping well upon installation up until a few weeks/months till it breaks down and streaks of liquid are left on my windshield during rain.

Really pleased by the simplicity, low cost, and reduced waste!
I had been looking for refills for my existing wiper blades (to no avail) and finally came across the Aero wiper blades and refills. These blades are designed so that the rubber portion can be removed and replaced easily. Bravo!!! The refills are priced at <$10 for four! And the refillable part is only the rubber strip with no structure. Compare this to some wipers costing around $60 for a set. I can't stand throwing away perfectly good wiper blades when all that is worn out is a thin strip of rubber that could be replaced as easily or more easily than replacing the whole blade. I'm also not sure I want to put more silicone on the outside of my car as some wipers do. Not only does Aero take away the mystery of which size replacement fits (6mm wide), they give you a set of refills with the new blade so you can try replacing the rubber strip yourself with no risk. I have had a set of Aero's on my Honda Civic for about a year and they worked as well as any other wiper as far as I can recall. Nice work Aero. Please offer more products where the part that is discarded is only the part that is exhausted. I've grown tired of constantly buying and replacing products where the only worn part is a small piece of the total product cost. Aero wiper blades and refills are superbly designed to minimize waste and reduce the cost to consumers.

Fits my blades.
Like not having to replace the whole blade. Areo products work very well.

Great option
I have a 2017 Toyota Camry which I put new Bosch Icon beam style wiper arms on in Jan this year (2020) Even though they didn't see much rain here this year the rubber started to perish with the sun heat and light.Not wanting to spend another $40 on a pair of new complete assemblies. I though, why not checkout rubber refills like we used to do 30 years ago, rather than a full-scale replacement. Going to a few auto-parts stores around here, they looked at me like I was asking for world peace. So, "Amazon" I thought, I found these rubber refills for $7 for the pair !!!!They come coiled up as shown in the product pic above. They are made as a pair and as such are connected together like siamese twins. Just a gentle pull will split them apart, no tools needed.The assembly into the Bosch Icon blade itself wasn't quite so easy, it wasn't hard, just fiddle. The end stops on these blades are tough to get off, look for some YouTube videos for help on that. The way the Icon wipers are built they kind of want to disassemble when you have removed to old rubber and one end stop, but with care you can position the new rubber (cut to size) in between the thin metal strips that are the backbone and spring of the arm itself, pop one end cap on thread the rest of the plastic bits back on and pop the other end cap on until it clicks into place and you'll be done.Today we had rain and I got to try the new blades out and they work like a charm. Smooth, not judders or squeaks in gentle rain with the wipers on slow intermittent.Bottom line? I'm now going to order two more sets to have in the house for my sons and my car.Very very happy, over $30 saved and saved some perfectly good wiper hardware going into the landfill.

convenient option if you're maintaining multiple vehicles.
I bought this product because I maintain several family vehicles, each vehicle has 3 different length wiper blades. So instead of having to coordinate purchasing like 8 unique wiper blade assemblies, I can keep a couple of these refills on my shelf and use them as a universal replacement. Super convenient, no more runs to the store, less environmental waste, and I save a little money also.My advice to first-timers is to work on your shortest blade first. Once you get that figured out, you'll be able to work on longer blades that have more clips to pass through. Double check to make sure you've passed through the clips properly, it's not uncommon for the rubber to pass through the clip in the wrong groove on the rubber blade.Another tip is to hold the metal blade holder/arm vertically and pass the rubber blade (with metal side strips) up into the assembly. This way gravity will help keep the rubber from twisting all over the place.And if you're a real cheapskate, you can trim the ends off what you remove from a front wiper and use it to refill the blade on the rear of your car.

Great for the money.
The jury is still out on these, since I haven't used them yet. The original replacements on my aero blades are still working fine.

Shockingly surprised
am very eco-conscious about everything I purchase - down to product packaging, so when the search recommended such strips, I was glad to explore this option. After much contemplation, bought it, despite the direction that this cannot be used for "sheathed" wiper arms. Had to take apart the full assembly, down to the 2 thin metal strips that hold the wiper rubber. Had to force the metal with the rubber it in to put it back onto the frame ~ 30 mins for both. DIY'er can handle it. And the end result after snow, rain & car wash - it swipes the windsheild clean/streakless. At 1/5th the cost, totally eco-happy!
