Default Replacement wiper blade discussion: 1995 Honda Prelude Vtec

Hey its time for some new blades, because mine are all torn up and don't work very well anymore. Can anyone reccomend a replacement that works great and isn't too expensive?

What size are prelude wipers any how?

get them from the dealer, they're not that expensive, and once you buy them once, you can just replace the rubber piece and keep the metal, and its like $4 or something

the replacement's dont last long though from my personal experience. I did that for years and finally I bought an actual winterized one and they lasted 2 years and still going strong. They are a bit bulky but they do work the best and last the longest

either some basic Bosch if you don't use them a ton, or if you drive in snow a bit more, spend the cash and get the Bosch Icon, they are awesome! I got mine at Napa, and they will look up what sizes you need in the computer.

i was wondering this also....what about the rainX curved wipers, the ones that hug the windshield. I know they are a bit big but i hear a lot of the newer cars have them.

I had the Piaa's before. The cheap fu**** things lifted up on the end. Go for the Bosch. They are better than the cheap made ones but not as much as the Valeo's. I had rainex. They lasted no longer than the anco blades.

RainX ones suck ***. My company had its whole fleet fitted with them and they DO NOT work well at all. All of them streak and miss areas, and as far as duration/durability, they don't last as long as a normal wiper.
