wiper blades
After buying replacement Rain-X wiper blades, I have come to realize that the 05 RL uses neither J-hooks or pins for the wiper. Is everyone else getting wipers from the dealer?

the wipers with full blade are quick disconnects that only the dealer has and are close to 100 a piece. i just bought the refill for less than 30 bucks for both sides, Id keep the stock original arm/blade

Lstevennl- Thanks for the info. Where did you get your refills? I went to Autozone and got the 28" and 19" Rain-X. Do I just take the blade out?

i got my refills from the dealer, i would return the rain x blades cause i do notice the refills that come factory are a special rubber . its like a gray rubber and looks more tolerable from ripping or drying.

I get my refills from TireRack and only use PIAA Sillicone. Works wonders compared to the crappy one that came stock.

Bernardi parts have them on sale for $8 a piece. Check them out they are OEM.
