I was just wondering what kind of windshield wiper blades some of you guys have out there? the stock honda ones? i'm asking because my honda ones really suck ***, it doesn't wipe the rain drops clearly and the clarity of the road isn't decent. I was wondering what kind you guys are using and any suggestions on aftermarket kind, or some i can get at a nearest Kragens or Autozone?

 

anyone?

 

I use some teflon coated ones that I got a Autzone. They were like 20 bux for the pair and came with 3 year warranty. I forget what the name is called. But they were like the most expensive ones they sold. lol

 

Your wiper blades are worn out. Just go to your local auto part store and get a set of new ones. Trico is OEM for many makes. But I found that the $5 blades, like Anco, Rain X, works just as fine as the other ones.

 

Bosch Microblades. Fin.

they work pretty damn good

it's like having rainx on my winshield without applying it. I clean the blades every now and then to make sure **** isn't building up on the teflon to affect performance.

 

I tend to cake on Rain-X on all my windows. That stuff is the ****. There's been times where I've driven in a torrential downpour w/o using the windshield wipers. I just use whatever cheap blades are available, they all seem to work OK for me.

 

I use Bosch Microedge Excel wiper blades for the front and back. No complaints at all!

I second this recommendation. Bosch Microedge excels are great wiper blades. The only bad thing is that they no longer sell the refill blades, but the entire wiper arm.

Second, I stopped using Rain X after it caused my windows to chatter and I also had some streaking problems. Instead, I use Aquapel on my windshield and it doesn't have any of the problems Rain-X had.

 

OEM honda havnt tried the teflon wipers but compared to anything else honda last longer

unless you wanna get one of those really cool hot pink double wipers MAD JDM!!!!!!

 

bosch user here.

 

problem i find with cheap blades is they wear fast and make noise-- love when you use a new blade--- perfect swipe all the way-- no noise, no streaks----a bit extra for a bit of quality and longevity

rubbing alcohol on a clean rag. During the rainy season (april-may) I usually wipe some rainx on the blades after I clean them. Man, it works sooo good. It's like water never stays on the winshield.

how much is the bottle of Rain X

 

You can find rain-x in a bottle almost anywhere for around 2-3 depending on size of bottle. However there are rain-x wiper blades too.

 

how much for the blades?

 

does anyone know the sizes of the blades ?
