sounds funny but, anyone know where to pick up some wiper blade replacements? I dont want to go to the local shop and buy some aftermarket POS that will not last. Any venders sell the OEM replacement wiper blades?

Anyone replaced theirs recently?


Thanks,


Brett

 

I prefer silicone blades to synthetic rubber--they last longer and don't get stiff when cold. I usually use Tripledge blades since they're cheap and readily available.

I also use Aquapel hydrophobic window treatment, which is like Rain-X but lasts an honest six months, which reduces the need for wipers and makes the windshield easier to keep clean.

 

sweet, you have more info about the window treatment? Your just replacing the blades not the whole wiper correct?

any details on where to get this stuff?

Thanks!

 

Only a couple of companies make Teflon replacement blades.

I replaced my OEMs with Trico Teflon wiper blades. Closest match for OEM parts, and easiest to find - cost was ~$45.00 for all 3, but still cheaper than going to for exact OEMs. When I needed to replace mine, every dealer within 2 hour drive was out of them !!

Been on my daily driver for 3 months with no problems or streaking so far.

Finding somewhere local that carries Teflon blades is biggest problem.

 

Yeah mine lasted for a while, about 1 year 9months, back one started streaking this summer but after the winter it just finisehd the blades off. Now my front drivers one is starting to rip.

This is great keep teh comments comming...

I replaced the whole arm because they were only about $5 and they didn't have just the blade refills. I haven't changed them on the Evo yet--it's less than three months old.

The Tire Rack now sells it:

I've always bought it cheaper on eBay.
