Exclamation HELP! Need new Windshield wipers

Hello everyone, I have joined this website because I have recently bought a 2007 Acura RL KB1 and I need help finding out how to get new windshield wipers for it. If I can get some help it would be very appreciated since I have been enjoying the car very much!

Our cars don't take regular wipers like other cars. You need to buy inserts for it. I went with PIAA silicone inserts. It takes 28'' for driver and 19'' for passenger.
28'' part no PIAA 94070 https://www.walmart.com/ip/PIAA-9407...efill/37664814
19'' part no PIAA 94048

you can search by part # online (Walmart, amazon etc) or in-store and buy them.
Here's the service manual: G4: Service Manuals And TSBs - LegendWiki and you can find how to install them under wiper and washer section.

Parts and labour is something like 23.00 at your local acura dealerships for them to change your inserts. Very easy job .

Good to know. This is one thing I would take to the dealership to get done. You can inserts like once every 1-2 years so <$30 is totally worth.

I got new wiper inserts a couple weeks ago at the local Acura dealer. About $23, after tax. The parts guy happily went out to install them for me. I think the OEM inserts work great. I only get wiper inserts once every several years because the car is garaged at home and at work so the rubber doesn't wear out too quickly.

I would write down the part #s and call your local Honda dealer to see if they can order it. Report back as I'm curious to see if Honda stocks our wiper inserts.

In my experience, as others have said, I usually just swap out inserts at the dealer. They are less than 20$ and they service department is nice enough to swap them for me right in their service drive it. I like doing my own work but I'm lazy about the wiper blades.
