The blade’s low‑profile, advanced beam design maintains consistent pressure across the windshield curve while the integrated formula helps water bead and roll away. Designed for easy installation on most vehicles, this 26‑inch blade is intended to replace a single wiper arm to both clear and treat your windshield in one step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Rain‑X blade apply water repellency while wiping?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rain‑X Latitude blade has a squeegee that contains a patented repellent on its surface.
