Can anyone tell me where I can get the best deal on genuine Acura TL wipers?

rhizopod

Why don't you get some good aftermarket wipers? Maybe some PIAAs or Sillblades.

boe_d

Are they better than the originals?

rhizopod

Yes, they are many times better. The original wipers aren't that good. I have PIAA on my car, but I've heard Silblade are just as good but cheaper.

Just got my Silblades, only used them once, but man - what a difference. And at $38.00 shipped, not a bad deal at all.

I second the Silblades. I had them on my 2002 and I plan to buy a set for my 2004 before the winter. They make a HUGE difference in windshield cleaning ability, and they last longer, too. They are well worth the cost.

$38 US seems kinda hefty eh? are they supposed to last the equivalent of like 10 OEM rubber wipers? how much are the dealers selling wipers anyways? (i don't know since i haven't had to change mine yet)

fsttyms1

most replacement wipers are going to be around 10-12 dollars each so 38 for blades that are better and last longer isnt bad.

dee diddy

so do they come in the exact same length as OEM wipers? you can only specify the # of front blades...you can't enter the size of each blade for your car.

bosch wiper blade works for me but i'm gonna try sillblade next time.

I got the sillblades. They are better then the stock blades. I also tried the bosch. Sillblades are the best compared to both.

hi, what color wipers do you guys think would match a Heather Mist 1999 TL the best? Thanks for the opinions!

Turboara

black

What's the longest you guys have used a silblade wiper? The website says they are good for 5 years. Really?

bosch wipers suck a$$

bricot

I've had the silblades on for 2 years, still work as new !

dee diddy

would rain repellent like Rain X be ok with silicone blades?

Strannik

That's what I have. It's pretty amazing now - one swipe, and windshield is clean! No streaks, rubs - nothing! The cleanest wipe I've ever seen. From now on, Silblades are the only once I'll be getting!

TL_Diplomat

i have a brand new set of OEM blades are u interested?

dee diddy

ok so you're saying rain repellent chemicals are ok with silicone? they won't melt them?

dmac

I'm taking ya'lls word on these wipers.I only have 13000 miles on my car but I am always up for improvement ....thanks everyone

Strannik

Didn't melt mine. I add Rain X concentrate every time I refill my washer fluid. Works great. Too bad that I haven't seen this concentrate for sale anywhere for a while... Only have half a bottle left.

What size do I need for an 03 TLS?

dee diddy

anyone notice that on the silblade site, they don't sell refills...that kinda sucks cuz PIAA has refills that cost a lot less than purchasing a new set of wipers again.

Strannik

You should't need refils if you blade lasts a few years. By that time, metal frame has to be replaced as well.

VCs_TL

can we use wipers for 2002 accords?

dee diddy

how do the silblades compare to the PIAAs? some have said to stick to the silblades for their cheaper price, but i've come across some sites selling the PIAAs for only a couple bucks more. and PIAA says their silicone blades leaves a coating that beads water, so i'd never have to use rain x anymore.

anyone also tried those new Bosch Micro Edge Excel blades?
