Changeover Wiper Arms

[sonnic]

I've admired the low profile aero 'o6 Euro wipers since the update came out last year.

I had an idea:idea: that they were a straight swap so I did a few measurements and gues what? They fit my '03/'04 Luxury perfectly!:eek:

The new wipers really tidy up the base of the windshield and the aero shape means they stick to the glass much better as well.:thumbsup:

You need to change the whole assembly because the aero blades will not fit the non-aero arms.

Cost of the new arms and blades, through Honda spares, was around $300 and it takes just 5 minutes and a spanner to do the job.:wave:

I've got an 06.Yours will look good!!!Just my opinion but if it was my money i would'nt spend $300 on wipers.:eek:

Yeah, I just couldnt spend $100 on a wiper arm and another $100 on the blade assembly. It's great to have them but they are overpriced.

[Adagio]

$300 is a lot to pay for mainly "looks" I have found the Euros 05 wipers excellent. I nderstand Honda uses natural rubber in their wiper blades. This may mean changing every year or two. Our Peugeot's wipers shudder terribly even soon after buying new Peugeot approved ones.

[sonnic]

Yeah well it might have been expensive, in your opinions, but the point of the exercise was to let everyone know that they DO fit...just like swapping headlights.

Stay tuned for the Trip Computer install! Heheheh!

I can't afford the $40K+ for a new Euro...

[curik]

Sorry, I said something stupid. Anyway is it really possible to put in the new cluster in?

[EuroDude]

Anything is possible with money ;)

True true.

sonnic, do you still remember how much the wiper blades cost? Did you pay almost $400 for them? I got quoted almost 400 by a dealer

[aaronng]

So how much are the refills? I'm still on my same set of PIAAs after 2.5 years. LOL

[r-r-redEuro]

refills are $10 and $13 from Rick damelian. im so cut, my wipers leave mad streak marks when i wipe. only the drivers side and i asked honda if they can replace it. it snot even one year old and the problem started a month into ownership of the car and they said nope cant its a wear and tear item like WTF

[tron07]

I think normal refills can fit in the wiper... I had a look at mine, I think should be able to fit it in.... will try when its time to change wipers

[dc2dc2dc2]

$300 !

lol

^^ Good price. They wanted $36 for the 03-05 wiper refills before. I bought a set but gave up after that because they lasted only 6 months.

[assailant]

wow... pricey..

do you have a before and after photo to compare?

No they won't fit...

[EUR003act]

i fitted the 06-07 euro wipers directly onto my 03-05 wiper arms... all i had to do was bend the tip down a lil, and it required abit of tweaking to get the blades perfectly flat (so as not to leave streaks or marks on the windscreen)

i agree, looks much sexier than standard wipers :D

[curik]

I just bought the 06 wiper blades for 18 pounds (40 bucks) for a pair. Good price. TO my surprise I asked how much for the inserts only and they were 20 pounds!! SO the inserts cost more than buying a new set of blades
