What kind of wiper blades are good? i need to replace my stock ones cuz they are horrible, i couldnt see jack shit in the rain last nite....also, where can i get them? trakauto? pepboys?, etc.

thanks for the help.

 

What size does the CL-S take too? Seem a bigger drivers side wiper would be better. When I use mine, it leaves this big patch at the lower drivers side coner of the window. It's hard for me to see.

your can find the size you want there

 

anyone know where in the Norther VA area i can get these PIAA wipers? they look tight as hell...hopefully they last long..i dont want to order it online cuz i hate waiting for shipping...

 

Those with bad blades, I assume you have had the bad windshield wiper fluid tubing TSB checked on your car..

 

First of all u can get free wiper blades if your car has problems with smeary fluid dependign on your VIN number

if not, go to pep boys, and they will give u refills, like 7 bucks for 2.

 

yeah, i had the bad windshield tubing replaced on my car, but htey didnt replace the wipers...idiots...

 

how and where do u get the free wiper blades?....when they replaced my windshield hose, i asked them to replace my blades, but they didnt...i'll prob just go to pep boys and pick up some...

 

When they did my windshield smeary fluid problem, they replaced wiper blades, hose, and fluid.

 

dam it...fuck radley acura...they said they replaced my fluid and hose, but not wipers....now i'm begiinning to think they didnt do anything to my car...

 

i've had my blades replaced twice...

but if you want to try somethign else first - get a good non-ammonia based window cleaner, spray some on a clean rag and go at it on the wipers.... eventually all that black gook will be removed and the wipers will be almost as good as new

 

NON-ammonia based?

Just curious cuz I've always used Windex to clean my wipers... it normally takes about 3 times before it stops leaving a black residue on the paper towel.

 

i have used acura, bosch and triple edge blades. i think the triple edge are the best of the three because they are made out of silicone, the refills cost $2 a piece and are available at walmart.

are you wipers noisy as they shift directions?

 

YES!! In addition to SQUEAKING, they leave a SMEARY MESS on the winshield. I've had my washer fluid flushed, my hoses replaced, and the shitty Acura blades replaced with more shitty Acura blades (by Radley Acura). Now it's even WORSE than before!!!


WiLd~CL~TYPS-@SS,

Are you really happy with your PIAA's?

 

My car got the TSB about three months ago and my windshield/wipers are great.

 

I need to get mine replaced also...the fluid gets smeared across the windshield, is this the norm with Acura wipers?

 

AHHHH.. poor windows... I use 'Invisible glass' and wipe it off with old newspaper.. I use the bosch as in my sig. did a complete replace of the wiper arm.. tried replaced just the blade refill but the stock wiper blows.. also there is a thing called 'barkeepers friend' or something like that.. which is supposed to be good for getting dirt of the windows. but i dont let them get that dirty..

 

I saw the PIAA for sale at groupbuy.com Does anyone have them and are they any good?????

 

Dang. Just checked Ebay and the PIAA blades are $50 a set. Not worth it, IMO

 

Here it is. I replced the stock with silcon wipers in both my CLS and my wifr CRV ( she got the blue blades to match).
they are the best blades I have ever seen. my dealer wanted the address to order for his own car he said" Honda makes shity wipers. They come with arm and the brackets. so coolllll
good luck. you can read and buy @

Go to COSTCO and pick up a pair of 22" (DS) and 20" (PS) TEFLON wiper blades..

$16 a pair and it's worth every penny..the best blades you'll ever buy..

whoever pays $50 for wiper blades is a MORON.

 

yeah, i might have to go do that...why do we need different size blades? are the wipers diff sizes?....i dunno, i didnt pay that much attention to them .... are the teflon blades better than silicone? i heard silicone is the shit....since htey use them for breast implants too...haha..j/k.
