What is a good windshield wiper? and what size is the drivers side? Mine is falling apart and i need a new one and wont be at the dealership for a few months

 

Bosch Icon's, not sure of the size though. You can buy them pretty much anywhere and they should have a size chart right next to them.

 

First of all, never get wipers from the dealer unless they give them to you for free. I have been using PIAA Super Silicone on all my vehicles for years now. They work great! Check them out at http://www.piaa.com/WiperBlades/super.html

It looks like they have a couple new models out other than the super silicone. I have seen the PIAA blades at my local Napa but I normally buy them from ebay.

 

great info thanks Dan

 

^np - off to work? I s'pose I oughta go to bed.

 

^^LOL why go to sleep its drinkin time again but ya those wipers are a great price on ebay

 

valeo wiper blades on tirerack, buy one get one free.

 

alright, thanks, ill probably swing by autozone right after work, hopefully the rain holds off until then, half of my wiper is off

 

ICONS

best wiper blades

 

does anyone have comparison data between the icons and the piaas? I have no problem trying new blades (especially since I'm from Washington state) but wondered if anyone has ever run both and could compare. Thanks!

 

I had the PIAAs on my mustang and they were amazing. I am very picky of having a clean windshield and PIAAs were the ones that I loved the most. I am planning on getting them for my Lancer too.

 

Bosch Icons or PIAA

 

Bosch Icons hands down.....Won't buy anything else. They recently had a promo going on with a Mail in Rebate.

 

Bosch Icons are good but I had to buy the driver's side one twice because the first one would leave a streak in the middle.

 

dangit people! When you state something like "hands down" it'd be great to know if you tried anything else. I suppose I could give the Bosch a try and post back. One thing that isn't clear on their site is the material. It refers to rubber a couple times while the PIAA is silicone, or a silicone rubber.

It could very well be the same thing, or close to it. One thing I know about the PIAAs is that they clean up the windshield good, keep water beading up for a long time, and rarely, and I do mean almost never, make a sound.
