thx for your advice euroDude.. I just had the same problem.. and will do your suggestion.

Cheers.

Just replace your wiper rubber with PIAA silicone refills. Then you won't need to do all that, except use the sonax windscreen washer additive.

[Woogler]

Which stores stock them?

Can you get PIAAs in Aust.?If so please tell us where.:wave:

[aaronng]

^^ Haven't seen them in the shops. Try contacting places like R-sense.

I buy mine when I go overseas.

Edit: Oh snap, just realised that the original poster has an 06. The PIAA ones don't fit. I don't think they make one that fits the 06 yet.

Try wiping the blade edge with a piece of tissue wet with methylated spirits or rubbing alcohol.

[EuroAccord13]

You can never go wrong with PIAA wipers....

You can use 555 wipes to stop the blades from hardening as well...

[LT178]

Treat your windscreen with Rainix. The wipers won't squeak along the glass and also you will hardly need to use them.

[EuroAccord13]

I tried that on the windscreen, after applying it, the wipers started to screech and shudder...

[NeoNode]

Aquapel is better than RainX.

[aaronng]

RainX causes the wiper to skip across. You need Sonax windscreen additive to counter the skipping.

[TEMPTN]

hmm so many solutions sum say it works and some say it doesnt
any rough idea on wiper blades for 06 model might just replace them and see how thats goes

[EuroDude]

Yeh replace the wiper rubbers and poor in some Sonax. That should fix the problem, unless the windscreen is filthy

[TEMPTN]

32 bucks for wiper blades! wat a rip!
i asked them how they stop this problem and they said they would have to polish it
any idea wat polish they use in the windscreen ?

[EuroDude]

Clean the windscreen with car washing soap + foam, then get some Autoglym Window polish ftw

[aaronng]

When I wash my car, I use the bug remover side of the wash mitt to clean the windscreen and windows. After drying, I put 1 layer of RainX. The RainX eventually stops repelling water, but it still continues to prevent water spots.

Also, put 303 protectant on your wiper blades so that they don't harden.

They don't fit 06-07 Euros. :)

[EuroDude]

Yeah the only place I could find the 06/07 ones were from honda, couldnt find them anywhere at auto shops.

[Butso]

my mate works at repco, he ordered me some trico silicon blades that clip on the arm.. its apparently really good stuff .. have a look at their catalogue if you guys are stuck

[whoops21]

my wipers starting shuddering across lately..

and on my last service.. honda service suggested replacing them.. and he

quoted me $75 dollars.. for the wipers..

are they THAT expensive?

bugger that..

You don't need new blades - just change the rubbers and it will wipe like new again. Cost me $27 from Honda parts.

[aaronng]

Alternatively, take some rainX, put it on a piece of folded-up tissue paper and then wipe the edge of the blade with it.

where could i find rainX?

[traumatized]

where could i find rainX?

SupercheapAuto, AutoBarn, Kmart and BigW all sell them along with many other stores

[_CiVIC_]

my fockn wipers are shuddering...

i want to replace the rubber... where can i find some?? i haven't tried auto shops... do you think they would stock them??

[aaronng]

The 2006 has the funny wipers. I haven't seen aftermarket ones yet... Looks like you're stuck with the Honda dealer for that. I think the TSX owners with the new wipers in the US have an alternative. I can't remember the brand. Have you tried taking some rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad and scrubbing the wiper edge down?

Con

[tron07]

06 models have wipers that are call euro wipers.... nice to wipe, expensive to replace.

Mine judders too, after I wax and clean the windscreen with mcguairs quikwax, it become a lot better.

[martin]

just try graphite powder, acts like a lube for the wipers

[EuroDude]

I think I remember reading that the 03-05 rubber is the same as the 06-08, its just the arm thats different. Dont quote me on that though.

After cleaning the blade edges, wipe the blade tips with graphite powder, since new blades come with graphite powder.

Nah, it's different. The 06-08 rubber is much lower profile. The graphite powder is impregnated into the rubber, not just coated on. So putting graphite powder will only help temporarily.

[EuroDude]

Yeah you need to reapply the powder every few weeks or so, as like Window rails.

ok ive been reading another CL9 forum and they suggest to use either the OEM inserts or PIAA inserts/blades. Some of them suggest to replace the stock inserts every 6 months, which I find a bit drastic. They should last a year at least.

And apparently Rain-X makes a lot of difference, so I may get stock inserts from Honda and give Rain-X a try.

edit: waxing the windscreen with Meguiars NXT Tech Wax also helps considerably.

[aaronng]

Stock inserts lasted 6 months on my 04. I changed them twice, spent $36 each time.... Got fed up and bought PIAAs for $35 and they are still on the car after 2 years, parked outside and the wipers are left pressing against the windscreen even during the hot summer sun. I will stick to silicone wipers over graphite.

[EuroDude]

Interesting, just gotta figure out the correct part number for 06-08 lol

[aaronng]

If you find out, let us know as well.... I keep getting asked for PIAA part numbers for the 06-08. LOL

[EuroDude]

I found this PIAA part number but it could be for 03-05

16 inch
400mm
Model Number: WS40EB
Part Number: 93040

[tony1234]

I'm interested as well.my passenger side wiper has started squeaking sometimes.:(

[power_of_dreams]

Anybody have any recomendations for replacement rubbers? Aftermarket or not? My wipers are doing nothing but smearing the water across the windscreen at the moment.

[traumatized]

due to the awful weather sydney has been experiencing i decided to change my wiper blades over the weekend, polished the windscreen with glass polish and topped it off with rain-x

during this mornings heavy rain my wipers wiped without any issues however when the rain died down my wipers started to skip as it wiped on low speed, i want to try the graphite powder but where do i get it? and is there another solution for the skipping?

Sonax windscreen washer additive helps. I use that when my wipers skip because of RainX.

[traumatized]

Sonax windscreen washer additive helps. I use that when my wipers skip because of RainX.

i've got some other windscreen washer additive in it at the moment it starts with 'W' it's quite soapy and it works when i give it a spray but as the wiper wipes the additive solution off it starts to skip again.

so i guess graphite powder may be the solution where would i get some graphite powder from?

[r-r-redEuro]

yeah my drivers side wipers just smear water marks all over and its the worst yesterday with that heavy rain, i really gotta change it but dont know if i should just change the wiper to OEM one again or to a different brand.

Sonax is better than the soapy shit. Of course, you have to use it quite often at first, but after that, it smoothens out and you can use the wiper in the rain without the skipping.

[traumatized]

i didn't go with the oem blades got some aftermarket ones from my local auto spares store.

maybe i should just continue to spray the windscreen with the washer additive and see how it goes.

[aaronng]

I think it is more of RainX's fault. I also get skipping after putting rainX on.

[traumatized]

oh ok then, well eventually rain x will wear out so i'll keep that in mind next time, never has an issue with my previous cars that i had rain x on so its weird.

[EuroDude]

I use that when my wipers skip because of RainX.

RainX worked wonders on my windscreen, no more noises or shudders. It helps to have newish wiper inserts tho

[power_of_dreams]

What year is your Euro?

06 onwards

[aaronng]

06 onwards

I don't know if there is an aftermarket wiper for the 06 onwards because of the low profile wipers... I've heard about Bosch Ikons in the US, but I have not seen an 06 onwards fitted with it before.

[phobolism]

I don't know if there is an aftermarket wiper for the 06 onwards because of the low profile wipers... I've heard about Bosch Ikons in the US, but I have not seen an 06 onwards fitted with it before.

bosch aerotwins are the similar in design to the 06+ euros arent they?

[power_of_dreams]

I don't know if there is an aftermarket wiper for the 06 onwards because of the low profile wipers... I've heard about Bosch Ikons in the US, but I have not seen an 06 onwards fitted with it before.

Looks like I'll get stockies then.
The rubber will be the cause of the smearing right?
Without looking in the manual, is there a way to drain the washer reservoir without squirting it all out?

[viper8548]

With the bad weather in sydney these few days, my wipers began to SQUEAKK, this is the first time the car's been in heavy rain! It doesnt squeak when its only light rain or shower, no idea why. Theres no point of getting new wipers cos IT IS new!! grr I'm so annoyed in the rain. Has anyon found aftermarket blades that fit?

[Crapdaz]

it will just be the rubber that's causing it.

have you been parking in the sun? as the new euros 06-on have the wiper blades exposed in the sun which will cause the rubber to harden and not wipe properly.

call your honda dealer as your still under warranty and get them to replace if they dont wipe properly if you can.

that also depends on how long the wipers have been on the car, mine started smearing 1 month after i got my car but i couldnt be bothered as i said i'll change it in the 5000km service bracket and they said its a wear and tear item and cant be replaced and that i should of replaced it when it first happened = =" so i had to buy it.

[Delta_One]

How much are the oem wipers? About the same as the Bosch I presume. ($20ish)

[kimnkk]

Where's the recommended place to get the PIAA Silicone wipers for an 03-05 euro?

Thanks :D

[r-r-redEuro]

is that for a pair ? or single ? if its for the pair then its cheaper then OEM. but if its single then OEM is more cheaper, one side is $13 i think and the other is $15.

[Miz_II_Die_IV]

Hey well i went to supercheap and the funny thing was i found one that fitted onto my drver side but nothing for my passenger.. I think the driver side one is slightly longer or shorter cant remember, i got it a couple months bak... and yeah was abit expensive... i had got wipers for my sisters lil civic which was cheaper for 2 sides compared to one of mine... but like i said the passenger side is too short and the ones there only had longer ones... therfore wouldnt fit.. So yeah one side is sqeeking and the other isnt lol.. lucky its the passenger side n not the driver side. any updates on the sizes yet... its starting to rain alot... (the whole week now) and driving with the noise is quiet annoying...

[aaronng]

My old dealer wanted $36. They lasted 6 months before smearing because I park in the sun. I went and bought PIAA for $32. LOL. Same set of PIAAs have been on my car for 2 years now.

[aaronng]

Where's the recommended place to get the PIAA Silicone wipers for an 03-05 euro?

Thanks :D

Ask your local rice shop. They should be able to order it for you. I bought mine when I was overseas in Malaysia and chucked it into my suitcase to bring back.

[Crapdaz]

damn im surprised you guys have so many noise problems and streaking stuff with your wipers, my car hasnt had any problems since the warranty days with wipers.

Check ebay for the PIAA silicone wipers, might be there.

[power_of_dreams]

these so called piaa wipers only fit 03-05?

[aaronng]

Mine's just over one month, never parked in the sun for more than an hour a week. Maybe I should try and get them replaced under warranty. The problem is it only squeaks once it gets very wet.

What is smearing? When my wipers sweep the rain, it doesnt remove the water completely, each swipe leaves some couldy water residue that gets dried up a few seconds after by the wind, is that smearing? or is it normal?

[power_of_dreams]

Yes. that is right.

groan

[aaronng]

Smearing is when the wiper blade edge is deformed and doesn't make proper contact with the windscreen. Yours dries up within a few seconds, so your wipers are fine. If they were stuffed, you'll make the visibility worse when you use the wipers and you also get lines across where the wipers wipe.

[angel]

My euro is 4months old, i was driving the other nite and that smearing in the windshield while driving in the rain is very dangerous, emailed my dealer's service advisor for a replacement under warranty, and they did replaced my wiper blades. Big difference. Now ive got clear vision. I hope it should last for a while.

[king9]

SO where would i pick up some good blades for me 06?

[angel]

King9, You can get a pair from your local Honda Spare Parts Dept., it all depends on your budget. Im sure they can be of help if you have queries about the smearing of the windscreen.

[Delta_One]

I just got some wiper blades for my 05 Euro. Bought them from spare parts, it's only the rubber part. It appears that all I need to do is slide it through the clips in the wiper arm, but when I did that it smeared everywhere. When I looked closely at it, I can see pressure from the arm is on different parts of the blade, so the pressure isn't all evened out, causing a wave effect.

How do I fix it? I'll post up some pics soon as I can't explain this :(

These didn't come with metal strips either, it's all rubber so..

http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/4105/wiperor5.th.jpg (http://img75.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wiperor5.jpg) On the right is the new rubber and the left the old one. The one on the left (old rubber) fits into the slot, but the new one looks like it isn't meant to go in at all?

It was on the car when I bought it used a couple months back, so not sure if it's OEM. The blade arm is OEM it has Honda on it, but the rubber doesn't have any markings on it, so I presume it's not OEM.

Does only the clip go onto the rubber then I just slide it through the 10 or so holders? Is there meant to be like a vertabrea thing holding onto the rubber to keep it even on the windscreen?

Just got the metal clip off, i cant find a way to clip it on though..will be taking it back to spare parts on Wednesday. The metal clip has nothing to hold onto so

The blade in the second pic was attatched to the OEM (I presume) rubber. The rubber slid into that plastic spin sort of thing which kept the rubber even on the windscreen. My new piece of rubber doesn't fit into it. Which is why im getting confused, I thought it was meant to. But I guess its not a honda part afterall.

I think the rubber I bought today isn't meant to have the metal clip on it, it just slides through the 10 slots and thats it. But its so flimsy without anything to make the pressure even. I'll just get some PIAA wipers or bosch now. OEM is way too annoying.

Sorry that this is so confusing, im still trying to figure out why it just wont work!

Can get the same type from KMart for less then 10 bucks, made with sillicone instead of rubber. Just change one for my friend's car

[unity]

Are wiper blades covered by warranty? My car is only 5 weeks old and only had to use the wipers 3 times. It screaches really bad. It's bad enough to send a vibration down through the brake pedal as the wipers screach across the screen. Is this worth taking up with the dealer?

[tron07]

If you got time, why not?

[Crapdaz]

screeches due to grime on your window/blades and exposure to the sun drying out the rubber.

imho the 03-05 wipers were better cause they have the metal brackets that actually protected the rubber from sun exposure compared to the 06+ with just rubber strips.

bring it up with your dealers service department and see if they would change it under warranty.

I see. It is not your fault. When you bought the car, it had AFTERMARKET refills on the wiper. What you need to do is to take the refill on the right in the 1st pic (hopefully this is the one you recently bought), get the metal blades (which you don't seem to have in your pic) and then fit them on. If you buy PIAA wipers, they should come with the metal blades (I'll check when I get home to confirm with you).

Edit: Yes, PIAA wiper refills come with their own metal strips.

06 or newer models wipers are more protected from the sun compare to 03-05 models... the whole rubber wipper is hidden by the big rubber wiper holder.

i'll have a closer look at my gf's euro to have a closer inspection.
but i like the look of the older ones cause they look more solid than the new ones.

[unity]

My wiper blades were replaced today under warrany. On the service docket is also says that they:
* removed the scuttle panel and retensioned and
* wiper motor assembley was rechecked

I am gettin exactly the same issue! Its driving me up the wall.

My wipes are only successfully clearing the window of water where the clips and inbetween the clips it is just smearing the water as the wiper blade is not making full contact with the window.

I installed these wipers not long ago and have been having this issue since the install of these wipers. They are expensive bosch ones.

When i installed the wipers i just used the wiper rubber itself... no clips or metal or wire to support them... just the rubber that i pushed through the clips on the wiperarm..

Not sure if i have done something wrong in the installation as i never read the manual...

Please advise on a fix or where i can get pre prepared wiper refills i can just slide straight in that will work a treat!

Thanks
Mark

[power_of_dreams]

you are supposed to reuse the metal strips.

[Delta_One]

But the rubber doesn't have any slot etc to put the metal clips on. I tried it and it just didn't work (Wasn't Honda clips though) so i don't know... I just bought some other brand. Using Bosch now. Most expensive wiper ever, but it's working really well.

[power_of_dreams]

that's weird. the oem metal strips don't clip, they just sit inside the grooves shown in yellow..

Low profile so that you can use it at high speed without the wipers lifting off the windscreen.

[pxrnm]

Guys I've tried looking for wiper blade refill at Kmart, Repco & Supercheapauto but cannot find the ones that matched honda's lenght. Most of them are 24" or less where honda's driver blade is 25.5" - and to think I want to get the silicone ones (sigh).

I've checked Trico, aunger & bosch... where do you guys get yours (locally please)???

the girl at repco told me that with euro, you need to get oem from honda as the size is not common, which includes most of the European cars, is this true??

any ideas?

[power_of_dreams]

the wipers are of different sizes. you can get a pair for about $25 from dealership

You need:
650mm (26 inches) length, 8mm wide for the long wiper
400mm (16 inches) length, 6mm wide for the short wiper

I know PIAA has them. But most aftermarket ones will have them too.

PIAA from previous posting seems very popular, but they don't seem to sell it here, well i haven't check autobahn yet but it surely not available anywhere at other places.

Do you know where can i get them?? ebay australia doesn't seem to have it

thanks

Difficult to find because I don't think that there is a piaa dealer here. You can try asking Perfectrun.com.au if they will import that for you. :)

i had the same problem looking for wiper refills...

the driver's side (long) wiper blade is 650mm like aaron said...but the longest wiper refill i can find is only 610mm....

i'm guessing u will have to get some from the dealership. :(

On the plus side, pay more for PIAA now and you don't have to change it for a long time. Mine are 3 years old now. If you know anyone going to HK, Japan, Singapore or Malaysia, ask them to buy it for you.

Get the sillicone ones, as they last like 10 years
