Gt Autosound Reviews

[Curtis Boykins]

Productreviews are one of the most important factors that people take into consideration when purchasing a product online. You are unable to see, touch, or hear the product before purchasing, so you rely on the opinions and information from previous customers. We ask our customers to review both the products that they purchase, as well as the quality of service that they received. We use this information to help us improve and improve the products that we sell. Inevitably, you can't please all the people all the time, but we still reach out to our unhappy customers to see what we can do to help them and ensure that they feel good about purchasing from Classic Car Stereos.

Recently we did some research to check out the Custom Autosound reviews online for their USA-230, USA-630, and USA-740 radios across the internet. We were somewhat shocked by the reviews that are out there on the web. The information out there does not tell the same story that we see on a daily basis when selling Custom Autosound products. This would bring us to three conclusions:

So when reading Custom Autosound reviews on other sites out there, please understand items 2 and 3 listed above. Both instances are likely due to the fact that the customer was not able to talk to anyone, or at least anyone that could understand their issue, and provide a plan to fix it. The Custom Autosound radios are backed by a 2 year warranty. If you purchase a radio and 3 months in, something goes wrong, please pick up the phone and call or email us. We will gladly help you warranty the radio.

**Please Note: Classic Car Stereos will not pay for any 3rd party charges. Unfortunately, we do not control the labor rates, costs, or the skill of the shop or company performing the installation. We have received radios back that were "professionally" installed that work perfectly fine when bench tested, directly to a battery. The shop either didn't know what they were doing, or they were just trying to sell a DIN sized unit to the customer to make a couple bucks while hacking up the dash and de-valuing the vehicle by a grand.

Factory windshield wipers typically last between six and twelve months before they begin to tear or streak. The best windshield wipers can last even longer, sometimes up to two years and more, depending on use, care, and weather conditions.

Each windshield wiper in this review was thoroughly tested and evaluated based on several categories, including performance, durability, and installation. You can find more specifics regarding our rating system here.

While slightly costlier than other models, the Bosch Icon wiper blades performed the best in our rigorous testing process. These aerodynamic blades feature an exclusive asymmetrical flexible spoiler design. With very high customer review scores, many reviewers noted the blades held up for several years before they needed replacement wipers.

Most customers note how well the ICONs clear their windshields. Some complain that the wipers do not work especially well on their vehicles, so your experience could vary depending on your car. Several reviewers noted how long these blades lasted.

Featuring a bracketless aerodynamic design, the Aero Avenger rivaled the Bosch ICON in our performance tests. According to customer reviews, this windshield wiper blade may not have quite the longevity of the Bosch ICON, but it is less expensive.

The Rain-X Latitude blades are coated with Rain-X solution, which is applied to your windshield as they wipe. These beam-style wiper blades also adjust to the curvature of your windshield for extra wiping pressure and feature a universal adapter that makes it easy to connect to any type of wiper arm without sorting through a dozen attachments.

The Rain-X Latitude performed reasonably well in our test. The aerodynamic blades cleared heavy rain from our windshield with ease. However, compared to the performance of the other blades we tested, we did notice minimal streaking. As these blades work, they apply a layer of Rain-X coating, so it is expected that water repellency will improve over time.

The blades were difficult to install when we tried to do it without first reading the directions. After we spent 10 seconds with the instructions, adjusting the universal adapter to fit our vehicle was an easy installation.

Some claim the windshield wiper blades are difficult to install, while others have no problems with installation. It may depend on what type of connector you use. However, we did not encounter too much difficulty installing the blades once we read the instructions.

The Michelin Stealth Ultra is a hybrid wiper blade, meaning it has similar pressure points to beam-style blades but is built with a metal frame. Unlike the beam-style design of the other wipers on this list, the Stealth Ultras have a hinge design intended to make the blade supply maximum pressure against the windshield. The hinge is covered so that it also has the benefits of a beam wiper blade (protection from the accumulation of snow, ice, and debris).

These aerodynamic blades did not come with any attachments and were only compatible with the J-hook mount design. To install the blades, we needed to purchase a separate utility attachment. Several other customers noted in reviews that their blades likewise did not come with the proper connectors for their vehicles. Out-of-the-box, the Stealth Ultras may be less compatible with all vehicles.

Based on customer reviews, the performance of the Michelin Stealth Ultra can differ from model to model. Some drivers believed they worked flawlessly, while others complained that the design did not hug their windshields tightly.

While we tested four of the best windshield wipers on the market for their effectiveness, there are an overwhelming number of options available. With this in mind, our review team would like to highlight three more windshield wipers as honorable mentions.

Blades with a hybrid or beam design have a single plastic cover that protects the blade from snow and ice buildup. These styles are suitable for all weather conditions and do not need to be changed seasonally.

The other thing you need to figure out is the type of wiper blade connector you have. There are several ways that blades attach, but two of the most common are the J-hook and a PTB 19mm top lock. Some wiper blades come with multiple attachments to work with different vehicles, but others may only work with one type of connector without an adapter.

Silicone windshield wipers are said to last longer than rubber blades, though this is not widely agreed upon. One advantage to silicone wiper blades is that they leave hydrophobic silica behind as they wipe, potentially improving performance over time. Silicone blades may also withstand extreme heat and cold better than rubber blades, potentially increasing longevity depending on where you live.

You can increase the longevity of your blades by lifting them when it snows, regularly cleaning them with windshield washer fluid, and keeping them out of the sun. No matter what windshield wipers you buy, taking care of your wiper blades will lead to better performance.
