I live in the L.A. area and about the only auto parts we have are pep boys, kragen, and auto zone. I was shocked to find that since the last time i bought blades (before the accord...the accord's rubber lasted since new !) no one seems to sell replacement rubber. they now only sell the entire assembly with the metal arm and rubber. And replacing the wipers no longer costs about 10 bucks, now it's more like $40 ! Obviously a total scam. anyways, none of those places have the rubber only. One place had it for some other cars, but not accords. so does anyone know of a local (L.A. area, specifically around the SF valley) that stocks the rubber refills only for a newer accord?

 

dealership

 

Most aftermarket wiper blades are not as good as the stock blades, so I buy replacement rubbers from Honda, from HandAaccessories.com. A lot less than $40.

 

You can get the rubber inserts from the dealer.

 

The dealership is too expensive, and I would rather have my maintenance items delivered to my home. My local dealership's parts/service department doesn't have late or weekend hours, so it would be difficult to get there before they close anyway. I ordered the wiper refills about 8 months ago (put them on yesterday), when I ordered a 6-pack of oil filters, brake fluid, and brake pads. I paid less than dealership prices, and didn't have to leave home. "priceless"

 

BLKFLSH ... awesome website. I'll bookmarking ths place. Yeah ... just based on the oil filter, they sure seem to be a deal at this place.
