Wouldn't a rubber wiper blade work better in wiping the water off your windshield. If I'm not mistaken, a metal wiper blade will scratch your windshield. It'll probably work great if your windshield is iced up, or if you have dried bird **** on it.

^ It could've been described better but metal in this case refers to the frame, particularly the two outer pivoting sections which are "sometimes" plastic on cheap blades. Personally I've never had a problem with them being plastic, maybe it would matter if I were trying to pry up blades frozen to the windshield but usually the rubber strip rips first if you try to do that.

Seems like a better descriptor for
Amazon
to put in the titles would have been the blade length! It would be easy to guess that the last 2 digits in the part # are the length, for example 8-4419 being 19", but the lengths aren't anywhere in the product descriptions either so you have to cross reference for your vehicle length and mounting system to be sure.
