I was going to try and get some of these, do you know which wiper model you got? Just want to make sure they fit. Theres 3 different options, KB9P, CarbonFit, and SlimFit.
 
I got the carbon but not sure there’s really any difference in the refills

How are you liking them long term?

they seem to work well and performance hasn't degraded after a year. Only complaint is they kind of squeak in one direction, but I think that started only after I had a ceramic coating put on the glass so maybe that coating and the wipers aren't compatible.

Do you have the convenience package with heated blades? Whatever info and photos you can spare would be appreciated!

and yes I have a Dream Edition so it has everything. The heating in the wipers is part of the wiper body, which is why you can replace the wiper inserts but not the wipers themselves as they seem to be Lucid proprietary.
 
Adding to this thread with my experience with the Kimblade wipers. As I said before I've had two bad sets of stock wipers - the ones that came with the Gravity in December and a set that the service center replaced during my service in April. Both were bad, even with cleaning and adjustment.

I got the carbon Kimblades linked here and trimmed them carefully to fit the entire "channel" of the wiper so they sit well but not too tight so they're pinched. I used the included window cleaner pad as long as they sent one. So far it's a major improvement. There is a tiny squeak if the windshield isn't wetter but no chattering and they clean the windshield great. I'll report back after some more long term usage, including the ~2500mi roadtrip I'm going on next week.

have you ever tried a glass polish? Autoglym makes an easy one.

Can you post a pic of how you placed/trimmed them?

I have but I'm thinking of trying the Bilt Hamber Re-View on the Gravity as people rave about how great their products are.
