I just bought the RainX latitude blades for my 2008 TSX. I got the 26" and 16". The drivers side fits fine, the passenger side is just barely (about a 1/4"-1/2" too long). Has anyone experienced this? I had the original all weather blades on until now. What blades have you used?
Thanks

 

I had the original blades on my 06 tsx until the dealer replaced them per the TSB

 

Yeah I've experience the length problem with a few brands.

 

You can get just the rubber parts of the original blades. Makes them like new and they only cost $5 per blade, way cheaper than buying new blades

 

Look at the original blade and note that the pivot point is not centered. When you use one with the pivot point centered (that's all the aftermarket stuff) you get the overlap. I answer this question about every three months ...

 

So does this mean I have to stick to the OEM blade inserts when I go to get new wiper blades?

Or can I get the aftermarket blades and still be ok?

 

I use Bosch wiper blades... I have NO fitment issues what so ever and they're GREAT quality! Last me for a while too....

 

I tried all the blades AutoZone carries, including Bosch, and none fit the right side (1/4 - 1/2 inch too long). Bit the bullet and had Acura install new ones. Really didn't notice much cost difference over the discount store prices for their "premium" blades. Look on the packaging and see where ALL these blades are manufactured. Think Bosch is quality, German made?
