New Wiper Blades

Alero2k4 · 07-29-2006, 03:15 PM

Anyone seen the new wiper blades that are just the rubber part back with steel? They are supposed to conform to the window better...and I think they are cool, but they are damn spendy...

i have bosch icons on my car, only because i got a good price of free on them for myself. They're great blades, no rubbing, no missed spots.

yeah, they do cost a good penny tho

I've seen them up here in Canada at Canadian Tire, but they cost a mint at about $20CAN apiece. I also saw some at WalMart that were a tiny bit cheaper than that. I'll probably try them when thay come down in price a bit more.

Definitely go with the bracketless wipers (like the Bosch ICON). I got a set extremely cheap from work and they are GREAT! had them since november and they still work like new!

ohhhh lol alright

steve-o · 09-06-2006, 03:24 PM

there junk, i hated them.. i had the reflexs old style and new. there not strong enough towards the tips of the blade. u had to have good amount of rain for them not to shatter. i switched them back for regular blades.

ptrudel · 09-06-2006, 03:37 PM

i got reflex, and i love 'em

The Piaa's are great. I don't have them on my car, but they are on the Mitsu and they work great. I'm not a baller like my boyfriend and I can't afford them. lol

i just stay with factory ones, 50K on the originals now and when i do decide to get a new pair, i'll just take them back and return them every 11 months and get new ones under warranty...they come witha 12/12 warranty on them

Listen to all the guys WASTING their money on WIPER BLADES....... the factory ones are awesome, they broke on me, so i went to auto zone and got Rain-X wipers for $7.95 a piece and they are awesome.

IF U SPEND MORE THAN $10.00 ON ONE WIPER BLADE YOU ARE CRAZY

battistoni21 · 09-07-2006, 11:31 PM

yeah really

Oldsnut · 09-08-2006, 12:12 AM

I make a decent buck for a living and I can't and won't spend $50 on a set of blades. I don't even use them a lot, even in Chicago during winter. I highly recommend RAIN-X, it works great. I get some really weird stares from people when I don't have my wipers going during a heavy rainstorm.
