ok, so I noticed in last week's pouring rain that my wiper blades suck! they were put on when I bought the car in May, figured they'd glide smoothly for longer than 6 mos. anyway, I searched and didn't see a DIY on changing the wiper blades for 1st gen CLs. Can anyone post some instructions. Also, do you get OEM wiper blades or is there a better/cheaper aftermarket brand you use? Did you pay to have them changed (how much $$) or DIY?

thanks!

 

Your 25 years old and dont know how to change your wiper blades...

Just ask autozone to do it for you!

 

:gheylaugh: The sizes are 24" and 20" they're not hard, just figure it out

 

its easy...when you buy it it should have some instructions.also might want to try the manual booklet. good luck

 

go to the auto parts store, have them look up the car - wiperblade applications - and the proceed to be n00b when you ask them to install the blades for you...lol

 

I got tired of going to the auto store buying blades and refills every 6-8 months here in New England. I went on the web and bought a set of PIAA Sporza Silicone Blades. Cost after shipping was about $47 for the pair. My buddy had a set on and they are incredible! Go check em out on PIAA site, then do a google on where to buy and look for the best price. I know they seem a little pricier, but you will relpace it much less, and use them much less. They say it is like putting a fresh coat of rain-x with each wipe of the windshield.

 

no way in hell would i spend 50 bucks on wiper blades. Not here anywhere. 50 bucks is not worth it when it only rains 5-6 times a year.

 

who uses rain-x here and do you recommend?

I'll have to look into the PIAA blades, we get enough rain (+ I do a lot of snow/ice driving in the mtns in winter) to justify that purchase

 

rain-x is GREAT!!!

 

aquapel pwns u, rockblocker has a gb going right now

 

rain is god

yeah, rain x rocks! I am in rhode island, and we get plenty of all the stuff you get, if not more. Well worth it, believe me. Put it this way to the guy from Vegas that was bitching about the expense. Bear in mind, these are probably the best blades on the market, hands down. I am from Seattle originally, and can appreciate a good set of blades and know how important they can be. Now after living in New England, I can appreciate it much more with all the snow and ice here. My buddy uses them back in Seattle, and I have seen first hand how great they work. Not to mention, it is a cosmetic dress up as well. They look really cool, and are available in Carbon Fiber or Black. I took Black.

 

^ thank god u took black ....

 

the fake silver painted c/f ones are terrible

 

I was bitching about the expense because i cannot justify spending 50 bucks on blades for the 5-6 times it rains here. And to the cosmetic dress up part, who is really gonna check out your wipers...LOL

 

ers

 

Ricers do. If they're red, blue, or other colours of the rainbow, they stand out.

I need some new wiper blades, these winter ones I got aren't that great on the highway.

 

go to walmart...they got good ones for like 6 bucks, get the cheapest ones there...

i bought the cheapest there and they are

 

 

If U still have the OEM blades, all U have to do is change the inserts which are only a few bucks & they work perfect. I change them yearly.....

 

i got an ad from the local acura dealer his weekend and they have a special $9.50 got oem blades, WITH INSTALLATION! i was like oh no way, installation included! freaking douchebags, ill probably get em to install it anyways

 

Do it

 

i just got the anco winter blades... havent tried them in snow yet... bad thing about them is they have red caps on the ends of the blades, guess time to break out the spraypaint

 

piaa wiper blades own

 

wow, a thread about wiper blades... Can't wait for glowing windshield washer dispencer thread.

 

 

Or, even more interesting yet, my 4-5 page threads on bathing habits and Kelly Clarkson songs from a few weeks back in Ramblings...

 

God is in the rain.

Remember the 5th of November

 

 

anyway, yeah just ask the guy that work at autozone to put it on for you and pay attention....

btw, i know howda replace my blade....but this one hot young mama-sita at autozone was helping me find the blade for my GS and i played dumb and ask her to replace it for me. damn does she have an ass. i didnt mack on her tho.

 

head back and see if they have any balls in stock. I think about a medium would fit your chassie ;-). Then have that girl help you with them instead of going home to

 

anyway, I think the 5th of November thing is from V for Vendetta

 

Rain X is good but you will need to change your wipers more frequently. Rain X has been knowned to eat some wipers away. I used it while i was in Fl.

 

:ghey: s

oh yea and i use rain-x its maddd good... i hardly even turn on my wipers.. but when the wipers are on there madd clear...

and for windshield washer... the orange rain-x...

 

My OEM's lasted almost 5 years. While getting an oil change a couple months ago, I had them put new ones on. Only $4 per blade and N/C to put them on.

 

i have the mugen type r wiper blades.

 

oh snap, are those the ones that reduce downforce?
