Rain-X Latitude Wiper Blade Installation - I&L

[scottcooper]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video! If you have the I & L type connectors, It's important to note that these wiper blades come with the locking tab in the "locked" position. Nowhere in the paper instructions does it even mention that the end piece needs to be unlocked and when unlocked, can move back and forth on it's own via a slanted slider track on either side; I thought it was a stationary part. As it is, I had to watch the video three times before I finally caught that detail and then after that, installation was surprisingly simple.

Saved my life, Alaskan winters run through wipers like nothing. Also, I didn't destroy my blade while replacing the connector, although I thought I would before I watched this vid. Thank you

Thanks for the great video. After fumbling around for 15 minutes with the paper instructions, I got both wipers done in less than a minute after watching the video.

Your videos don't reflect reality in any way, shape form.  There is no way to 'snap' any of your parts into or out of place without destroying the blade.  Every part is sized to be just wrong enough to make a seemingly easy task virtually impossible.

Use a flat blade screwdriver to get off the old connector. Gently pry it off with the screwdriver. Worked perfectly when I just installed these yesterday.

I've noticed Rain-X has changed all their adapters. I used to be able to flip the adapter around to get the expert fit blade to work on the right side of my Ford Escape. You can no longer do that so now they only make left side blade's for it.
I will be looking for another brand of blades

Had no problem with the installation, but couldn't get the release button to snap back into place on the passenger side, as shown on 0:55. Driver side, no problem. I tried for an hour. I'm hoping that the blade doesn't go flying off when I have them on high.

2019 Ford Escape I found it harder taking the old blades off. Switching to the other connector on the RainX was fairly easy. A bit tricky getting these on but it's like the video get the front end down, snap the rest down until you hear the sound, then snap the square thing at the front back for a final snap sound.

It is hard to get the old connector off, could easily break or damage something.

Note - the adaptor has CHANGED - you will not be replacing the adaptor, instead you will be pulling parts of the adaptor already on the blade off, depending on your blade. (For I&L, the top 'cover' and the blue things on the side, for example.) Use the Paper instructions.

I must be doing something wrong! I've been trying for about 10 minutes, and I can't budge the connector! I'm sure something's going to snap in a minute, and it just might be me!!

You just saved me 50 buck from getting new wiper arms cause I didn’t know how to use these

[RichardO]

When attaching the new connector, note that if it does not snap into place, then turn it around. It only snaps in one way.

[awakeinAZ]

The giant mount sure raises the wiper in the rest position significantly. Enough to block the view of the hood. Also, at the top of the wipe stroke it clunks since the wiper arm is far away from the rubber piece.

I remember spending like 50 to $60 on the rainy brand brade. It was the worse decision I have ever made, so I end up replacing it the next week for Scrubblade. Best one ever. But wiper for each car differently, it didn't work on mine

[randiekay]

They're easy to get off but I can't click them in place.

[WaiIpChungFMOclinic]

The connector pops off and clicks into place my butt! I had to pry the old one off with a screwdriver as other commentators said. Also, the new connector only fits one way, so make sure it points in the correct direction.

[CostyRo]

The plat screwdriver it's the way ! Between the blade and the pre installed conector and turn easily till the separate ! Awesome 👌 🆒️

[butchdean]

This is a nightmare to take of the pre-installed attachment, I eventually got them both off but the amount of force required to remove them is certainly a lot more than depicted in the video.

They are really good blades but if I have to nearly destroy them to attach the correct mount then I won’t be buying again.

Man I was going nuts until I came across this video I have a 2007 Chevy Avalanche and this is the one that fit best.
