Oem blades are amazing!

Man i have never seen any wiper blade clean this well. My windows were extremely

dirty, so i decided to try the wiper blades. one squirt and one wipe was all it took to

clean the window. I did not see any more dirt or spots on the window. On most cars

the blades always left water streaks on the window even after several whipes but on the tsx there was not

one streak of water on the windshield. I was so amazed that i sprayed it a few more

times just to see how amazing they were.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but they'll start streaking like every other wiper soon enough.

That happens on us, the 04 and 05. The 06 has a different blade even the design of the wiper is different. Not sure will those 06 blade streak later tho.

Is there a place, other than dealership, to purchase the blades for an '06?

I noticed mine were "jumping" a lot today when it was raining.....got real annoying since up till now they've been nothing short of pretty darn good

My '06 blades clean really well - my complaint is they're loud, esp. when it's semi-dry.

Mine were skipping within the first few weeks of the rainy season. I took it into the dealer to get 'em swapped. they either put new ones or "recharged" the edge of the existing one.

Still loud 'n noisy but they do clean well!

Mine are OEM and have been on for about 15 months now with NO signs of streaking (unless I'm an idiot once in a while and hit the "quick swipe" w/o any moisture on the windshield).

'04, FYI.

Also, cleaning the blades and windshield at each gas fillup goes a long way in making them last a while. Just take a lint free cloth, get it wet with washer fluid, and swipe each blade a few times -- you'd be surprised how dirty they get in a week or two!
