my friend bought his at Pepboys. I think they have a touch screen to help you find out the exact part number. I bought mine at Acura dealer. I don't know which is better. I am not sure if he got silicon blade tho.

mine is also wearing out pretty bad too. I m planning to purchase a pair now.
I look into Bosch and Piaa. I think those brands are the best??!!

I haven't tired bosch, but got the silicone piaa. they are AWESOME....super quiet and streak free. no clunking like the stock crap

vincentliwf

So which one should I go for? Bosch or Piaa?
How much do they cost?

i've had bosch and PIAA and some other pepboys stuff, but none of them clean like the OEM, i'd go with OEM wiper inserts, they fit perfect, and you don't have to buy whole blades.. just replace the rubbers..

are you serious?? the oem ones Suck. mine lasted about 2 months. silblade and piaa aer the best. Bosch is good but pricy for how long they last.

tire rack sells piaa

What is the average life of the stock wiper blade, anyway? I replaced mine last spring and it was streaking with this rain-x like waxy coating by the end of the summer. Just been suffering since

??? for the cost (of the standard replacements) i replaced then 2 times a year. Spring and just as winter hits.

Have you tried these before?
PIAA Super Sporza SiliconeW/Spoiler Wiper Blade (BLK)
or
Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blade(EA) ??

haven't tried the sporza but have the piaa silicone and they are awesome. i bet the sporza are overkill

I'm going to try the piaa. For what its worth, I bought Michelin for one side and bosch for the other and the Michelin was the worst I'd ever seen. The bosch wasn't that much better. I replaced them with the ANCO cheap blades and they seem at least as good. My windows were pretty old, however, and may have had slime on them. Anyone have suggestions for rejuvenating windshields? I have, in the past, used steel wool to get years of grime off.

I've had OEM wipers for about a year now. They work great. All you gotta do is clean them.

Get some windex and paper towels. Spray some windex on the paper towel and clean the wiper as much as possible. The wipers will work like new. It also helps if you clay bar the windshield to make it as clean as possible.

clean the window with alcohol! that's whats included in the piaa wipers

I replaced mine 2 time a year. Fall and Spring. Found out the blades on my 91
Accord fit the 99 TL I had ordered an extra pair from Honda online and when I sold the Accord and bought the TL I installed the new blades. They were cheaper than aftermarket and work great/since they are OEM>

subtledreamer

go for the PIAA's! awesome blades sure you pay more, but the quality is def there as well

ive had mine for a year now... still running strong & quiet!

i just got my PIAA blades with Carbin Spoiler and i was wondering do you guy know what is the right way to install it. I mean does the spoiler facing upward or downward ?? please help ....

TIA

For those looking check out silblade. SilBlade® wipers are unconditionally guaranteed for 5 years. Conventional wipers wear out in 6 months to 1 year. In fact, conventional wiper manufacturers recommend changing wiper blades every 6 months because of degradation to the rubber.

fsttyms1

is the spoiler attached to the wiper? if so the wiper can only go on 1 way.

If i had to guess looking at eh pics it would be down (so that its on the wiper arm side closer to teh windshield to reduce lift)

69tl

the spoiler does attached to the wiper, but i try out either facing upward or down still work, so i don't know which way is the correct way. and also i did look at the pic and it looks like the spoiler suppose to be at the bottom of the wiper but not sure that's why i you guy expert for help.

InspireUA5

yea...suppose to be at the bottom...btw...any picof yours??

69tl

picof??

fsttyms1

Supposed to be towards the bottom so that as it goes up less wind has a chance of lifting it. It will also help push it down by the air going over it
