This may sound like a stupid question, but what size and type of wiper blades should I pick up? I need some as mine are comming apart.

Never had to do this in my four years of owning a Type-R so I have no clue. Just looking for something that works and is cheap.

I am in Arizona, so fany blades really aren't needed.

Thanks in advance

 

Which part is coming apart - the insert, or the wiper arm?

The wiper consists of a metal wiper arm, that holds the rubber part which comes into contact with the windshield, which is called the wiper blade insert. You can get a new pair of wiper blade inserts for around $8 at your dealer (and that's list price!). They're easy to install; you just re-use the metal "veins" that pop out from inside them.

Part number is 38472-SB2-305 (but any dealer parts department should have plenty of them on hand).

 

Yeah, I think I just need the inserts.

Wasn't sure if they had done away with the insert idea and people were just replacing the insert/blade assembly.

Thanks very much Ken

 

-go to your nearest Acura dealer.
-tell them you own an integra 3 door
-ask for a new set of rubber wiper inserts
-pay for them
-put them on and enjoy

OEM wipers = the best

 

Anco is the brand of wipers that come on most import cars, honda, toyota... these can be found at most automotive parts store that sells wipers. even at walmart. for the front you will need sizes 18in and 22in... goodluck. i installed mine two weeks ago. man, they wipe badass.. ahaha... so cleann and clear...

Not true. Anco = teh suck. OEM Honda wipers are SUPERIOR!

 

anco are not as good, I have to replace them more than twice as often as OEM inserts.

They're also cheaper. I just checked on the Autozone website, and Autozone charges anywhere from $4.99 to $7.99 per blade for the wiper blade inserts (they call them "refills").

So get your wiper blade inserts from your local dealer, because they sell parts for less!!!

EDIT: A&H sells a pair for $11. I'm not sure why they charge more. Sunnyside's website shows the list price as $4.06 per side, and their price is $3.45. They're a few cents less at Acura Carland. At the prices we're talking about, if that's all you need, it's going to be cheaper to get it at your local dealer than to pay shipping from anyplace else...

 

Go with oem blades from honda.

 

Go with OEM.

Front wipers are two different lengths.

i have never changed wipers on my integra till now (anco). when i look at my bro's prelude (anco). then i take a look over at my mom's 03 Oddessy... (anco, purchased brand new, fasho never have been changed...) then i walk over to my bros camry (anco).....

 

Bosch wiper blades are pretty damn good too, but really expensive. They are fully replacable, not just inserts, which makes it really easy to change. OEM are great too, so get whichever. I live in the Pac NW so i need new blades all the time Also don't forget to get a new hatch wiper too. And if you aren't sure of the size all auto parts stores will have a book with the size for your particular car (FYI).

 

20 and 18 inches.
