TSX Wipers on TL

I like the design of the TSX wipers, and would like to install them on TL


Will it fit?

Are you talking about the arm or just the blade? If you are talking about the arm, you probably could, but I don't see the point. If you are talking about the blade, then yes you can, but they are about 1.5 - 2" shorter than the TL blades.

I fail to see the reasoning for these.... purchase Valeo or similar single curved blade, they look nice (benz rocks them) and they are actually 100x better than stock.

(PS. TL wipers are specifically designed to carry the water to the top and over the roof, and not to the side, thus preventing you getting a wash if your window is open...changing the arms will be a big big mistake)

I was talking about the blade.

The reason why i don't like valeos or bosch icons is the connection part.

If you take a look at the TSX wiper blades, the attachment part is above the blade whereas valeos and icons have the attachment part on top of the blade making the wiperarm sit fat on top of the blade.

That's why i was asking about whether the TSX blades would fit on TL.

Get yourself some of the PIAA silicone wipers and I swear you will never buy another wiper after. It basically wipes so clean and coats the windshiled with silicone (basically acting as rain-x) with every swipe. I have the bosch icon on my other ride and they are just as good minus the rain-x effect.
