The refills are ok.
The blade refills are great! Silicone “rubber”, it has a good feel to it. It does squeak a little near the peak of the wiper sweep and the windshield is relatively dry. It’s a small inconvenience considering it cleans the windshield of water well.There are some quirks to understand. It says it’s four blades. You’ll need two to replace the wiper refills for one car.Second, it’s the size of the longer blade. For the shorter passenger side blade, cut it to length with a scissors.To remove the blade assembly from the car, a flat head screwdriver is useful to pop open the tab holding the blade in place. Tilt the top of the blade towards the front of the car, then pull down on the assembly to free it.At the base of the blade, the side is normally down when the blades are wiping, pull on that end to pull out the blade refill.Notice the two flat stainless steel strips that are part of the assembly with the refill. Further notice that the end you pulled has notches near the end. Further notice the curve of the strip. You’ll need to reassemble the blade with the new refill, maintaining the proper curve of the strip, and the notched end at the base.I had no problem with disassembly and reassembling with these pointers in mind.

Effective. Install tips below:
Worked for me, windshield & rear wipers.These require basic craftsmanship/mechanical skills to install properly. If you want a super-easy quick snap in replacement, buy full blades. Otherwise; Go Slow, Be Careful, Save Money.OEM manufacturers have their own styles of blades, as do different brands of aftermarket blades. Look carefully at the refills on your current blades to see the shape of the ends of the rubber, and the dimensions, to make sure they are similar to the pics shown with the description of these refills. I will only speak to the style I just installed.Mine have the thin, refill-length stabilizing metal strips. When we used to buy refills, the strips came in the rubber refills. This refill does not have them, because you can re-use the strips from the old refills, if you don't ruin them removing the old refill from the blade.These refills come as two pairs, with each pair joined at the windshield side. Do not cut them apart. They separate very easily by hand with no damage if you are gentle. I measured the length vs the old one, and cut the length about 1/4" longer on each end than the original.Take the blade off the wiper arm. Then sit down and install the refill. Trying to do this on the car is a recipe for frustration.There are different methods used to clip the refill into the blade, so you'll have to figure out what you're dealing with as you prepare to remove the old refill. Mine had little tangs sticking out of the metal strips at one end that I had to squeeze together with needle nose pliers. Of course, don't over-squeeze. The short blade on the rear window had one of the grips at the end crimped slightly into the rubber of the refill to hold it in place. This is where common mechanical sense and attention to detail pay off.Feed the refill into the grips with the clip end LAST. The tricky part is getting the metal strips into the appropriate grooves, then feeding the refill into each of the grips on the blade, while making sure not to stretch the refill or move the metal strips too far one way or the other as you feed it through. Double check the position of the strip in the refill before you snap it into place. Make sure all the grips stayed in the rubber grooves, or the unevenness will mess up the rubber's contact with the windshield.Every blade manufacturer had their own cute tricks to secure the refills. Make sure yours are compatible with this brand of refill before you order.If there are any issues with wear, I'll revisit this review. If I don't update it, they lasted fine.

Saves $ and works well
Installing these did require some time and patience, but the result was as good as the much more expensive alternative of replacing an entire wiper when only the rubber blade is worn. Read the instructions carefully, have a magnifying glass handy so you can see what you're doing and have a little patience the first time. I have had these on the car for a couple months and see no difference from a complete wiper change. Saves a lot of $ if you are willing to put in the 20-30 minutes it might take to wrestle the blades into the existing wiper arm.

Excellent product if you know how to use it. Its rubber only, not a complete assembly.
This is a "FREQUENTLY RETURNED ITEM" if you don' t know how to install it or have aftermarket wiper blades that won't allow changing the rubber. The quality of this product is excellent, but you must have a removable wiper refill with two metal guides for the rubber blade and some skill at installing. It you do, this product can do about 6 blades for around $7 instead of one blade at the auto parts store for $20.

Easy replacement !!
Easy installation if you have minor mechanical knowledge. If you can install regular windshield wipers, then you can do this. Just got to pay attention and look for the slot where the old one slides out. Doing maintenance on my car and opened this up and there was only two pieces in there, when it clearly states on the package that it's supposed to be for four of them, on the sales page it says four as well. ( There IS 4 pieces, you just have to pull the 2 pieces apart !! )

They Work—But Fitment Is Tricky and Wipe Quality Isn’t Great
These refills technically get the job done, but there’s a lot of trimming and fitting required to make them work properly. The rubber quality isn’t the best—it tends to smear more than wipe clean, especially in damp conditions. Decent for a budget option or in a pinch, but don’t expect OEM-level performance.

Refill rubber is too thick for my vehicle!
This did not fit my 2023 Acura MDX. Rubber is too thick to fit the wiper frame.

Had to modify
Fitz but had to cut the passenger side to size!
