Product Features Overview
Feature	Benefit
All-Steel Frame Construction	Heavy-duty steel frame with dual tension springs provides superior durability and consistent windshield contact compared to plastic alternatives. The metal construction resists wind lift at highway speeds while maintaining optimal pressure distribution across the entire blade length for reliable performance.
DirectConnect Installation System	Innovative one-step installation works with 90% of vehicles without requiring adapters or special tools. The hook-style mounting system provides secure attachment while enabling quick replacement in minutes. This universal compatibility eliminates installation complexity, reduces potential errors, and ensures proper blade positioning for optimal wiping performance across different vehicle makes and models.
Graphite-Treated Rubber Edge	Precision-cut natural rubber wiping edge features advanced graphite treatment that reduces friction and eliminates noise during operation. The specialized coating allows smooth gliding across windshield surfaces while preventing squeaking and chattering common with untreated rubber blades. This treatment extends blade life by reducing wear and maintains consistent wiping performance through thousands of cycles.
20-Inch Length Coverage	Twenty-inch blade length provides comprehensive windshield coverage for larger vehicles including SUVs, trucks, and full-size sedans while fitting standard wiper arm configurations. The optimal sizing ensures maximum visibility area coverage without interference or overhang issues. This length delivers complete water removal across the driver's primary sight lines for enhanced safety and visibility.
Dual Tension Spring System	Engineered dual steel tension springs maintain consistent blade pressure distribution across curved windshield surfaces, preventing streaking and ensuring complete water removal. These precision-calibrated springs adapt to windshield contours while maintaining optimal contact force throughout the wiping cycle. The spring system prevents blade lifting during high-speed driving and ensures smooth operation.
