Wiper Blades

I have a 2007 TL-S and have a local Honda Dealer by my job. Does anyone know which Honda Accord model has the same wiper inserts?

I used to get to the 2003 Accord wipers for my 2002 TLS

Thanks

Yeah, stick with the OE for sure.

My local Honda dealer was able to x-reference them without any assistance. Looking on the web I found

Drivers side is Honda (as well as Acura) 76622-SDA-A01, RUBBER, BLADE (650MM)

Passenger side
Acura 76632-SEP-A01 RUBBER, BLADE (475MM)
I can't find the same part on any Honda sites but just tell the guy it's a 475mm insert and give him the Acura number.

Bosch Microedge for me. Have them on my MDX as well. Just replaced both as winter has arrived. Seem to handle snow/ice/slush very well for those drivers confronted with the white stuff.

Yeah defintely the PIAA supersilicone blades. Those are on all of my cars, I swear by them and anyone who has switched to them after my advice has only thanked me. They are amazing! I just replaced mine 2 days ago.

What's the quality of the PIAA blades? How long do they last?

Why are Bosh Icons better than PIAAS? Can someone explain that to a person like myself who has used all 3 brands listed in this thread, Bosch ICON, Rain X and PIAA? I haven't use the Rain-x Lattitude though, just the standard blades, but the PIAA super silicone ones, are truly different IMO.

If its your first time buying the PIAA silicone, you gotta buy not just the refill, but the arms because it comes with the silicone starter pack to apply on your windshield. Unless you can purchase that seperately I'm not aware of that. After you apply this "only once" (unlike the annoying RAIN-X) you're pretty much done. The PIAA wipers now will recoat the windshield with more silicone (water repelling material) with every swipe. I do not believe any of the other ones I've had did that.

Now I do agree that all these other brands are better than our OEM blades, but I'm sure all of us know that already. As far as how long these PIAA's last, they last me about 2 years but I like to change them at about 12 months because that's just me, but my fiance's car we changed at the 2 year mark.

Link for the lazy:

CLICK PIAA SILICONE BLADES


Link for Some other people's opinion on this site


Also for people that are local I know a place in Elizebeth, NJ where you can purchase them on the spot for about $35 to $40 for a pair with the arms and silicone starter pack. After that, all you have to do is buy the refills which are no more than $7 bux each. I dont promote many things, but this is something, I really love. Just want to add, that I am not affiliated with that place in NJ, just the spot where I have found the product for the cheapest and easiest rather than getting it online.

Also forgot to add, that half the time I don't even use the wipers on the highway because of the water repellant material that these blades have applied, just like rain-x it beads right off. Everyone that rides in my car is usually amazed.

Hrm, did more searching and found these PIAA Forza Hybrid Silicone Wiper Blades new for 2008. Anyone try these out yet? They seem to be an overall upgrade to their standard silicone wiper blades and look pretty slick too!

Just be careful, chuanger I dont know if you got my PM, just confirm with PIAA that those Forza fits our cars, because they make wipers that don't. Also post a review if you do go with those, as I am very interested in knowing how they perform. 2 other websites you can get them from are eBay and www.ltbmotorsports.com they both sell them.

Also it seems the Forza's are really expensive practically double. All I would say is, I can not see how they can be that much better than the supersilicone ones I have, and I'll be amazed if they are, so I'll wait for your review if you decide to get them. Like I said on the highway I never even ride with them turned on, so I dont know how you can get better than that! For double the price it better do much more than just wipe. LoL

Yea, thanks for the heads up Elegant. Got your PMs, I'm hesitant to try the Forzas as well since they're so much more $$$. I'll probably end up getting the regular super silicones. I'll update when I decide.

I had to replace my PIAAs and recently bought Bosch. Whenever I lift the blades to wipe them down, they're always stuck to my windshield. I mean really stuck, like they're melted into the glass, and I have to tug to lift them up. Does anyone know why this happens?
