Are Rain-X wiper blades worth it for your windshield?

Here's the trick, and it's simpler than it sounds. A regular wiper blade is just a rubber edge dragging water sideways. This one is doing that same job, but the rubber itself is infused with Rain-X's water repellent formula, so every pass isn't just clearing water, it's laying down a fresh coat of the stuff on the glass. That coating is what makes the next few drops bead up and slide off on their own, at speed, before the wiper even gets to them. Underneath that, the blade uses a beam design instead of the old metal-frame style, meaning one continuous curved strip presses evenly along your windshield's contour instead of a few pressure points fighting it. Less chatter, less skipping, more actual contact with the glass. The install itself is a universal adapter clip, no tools, and Rain-X claims it fits the vast majority of windshields, though the QR code on the packaging is there for a reason, because wiper arm connectors are the one part of this job people get wrong. Peel the yellow squeegee cover off after installing, that's the whole setup.
