will these work well for colorado winters??? biggest problem with stock blades are they freeze to the shape of the window, so they passenger one wont make contact with the whole windsheild.

read description, will work in winter.

these, just like every wiper blade, will freeze. these just contour to the shape of the windshield

i dont know how good these will work if there's slush/snow/ice on your windshield though

haha. thats the issue with slush and snow/ice. I usually run rubber covered winter wipers so they dont freeze up..... then of course when not driving you need to lift the wipers off the windshield. I need new wipers but im hesitent to get these because of winter.

If you are going over 140mph while it is raining, I don't think the wipers will be a concern for you.

a litle off topic,

seems on my other car, some sort of build up occures on the windshield near the bottom of the wipers stroke. this stuff causes the wiper to grab, it threw off the balance of the wiper so much it caused the wiper to pop off at the mount.
i clean this stuff off after each rainy day.

never noticed this before, or at least it didn't cause a problem with the oem wipers.

anyone know what causes this spatter like deposite at the ends of the wiper travel?

I've had no problems with these wipers, very satisfied. These are my favorite blades as they always wipe the windshield clean in one swipe (I also RainX the windshield).
