Windscreen Wipers Refills

[corn_flakes]

gday all.

so i thought i'd go and buy some rainx and some new wiper refills today.

got home and was installing it only to find out the LONG (drivers side) wiper rubber was longer than the one i bought.

the 6mm width fits fine, but the wiper i got was only 610mm in length. the stock one is about 650mm in length. (2006+ model euro with the rubber wiper blades)

has anyone found an non-OEM wiper refill that is longer than 610mm? i was in kmart and 610mm seemed to be the longest one they've got! :(

[tony1234]

You have to buy OEM.I don't think there are any aftermarket inserts for 06 or later.

[corn_flakes]

i bought some that fit and worked fine, it just happened to be about 40mm short.

just wondering if anyone has seen anything longer than 610mm in length?

[power_of_dreams]

Got both sides OEM for $24. No fuss install, I would just fork out the money.

How did you install it? I cant bloody pull the wiper blade out without breakking the cover :o

[power_of_dreams]

Once you remove the blade assembly from the car, just peel back the end that has "LOCK" and slide it out. Wiper blade cover shouldn't break unless it is crusty and brittle.

Do you peel back the blade cover at the end where the lock is? I'm folloing the manual to scretch the end where the lock is but I can never stretch enough space for the blade to come out!

[power_of_dreams]

yes peel back the very end. It should stretch far enough for the blade to come out. if not, pull harder :D

[EuroDude]

Yeah just pull the end back to access the insert.

The instructions should be in your Honda User Manual.

Same thign with the 2003 luxury model... WTF!

hi, where did you get yours? My honda dealer wanted $30 from me.

[Type R Positive]

hi, where did you get yours? My honda dealer wanted $30 from me.
You are going to run around town for the sake of $4?

p.s. On a side note - Toyota wanted $210 ($70ea) for new wipers on my Prado. I told them where to go obviously.
Always ask what they are going to do for service when you take your car in, so you can tell them what you want done with out any surprises.

[anexiole]

Excuse me, my dealer is a good 25kms from me. I am just checking around.

[power_of_dreams]

dealership.

[anexiole]

hey,

If there is a dealer located closer to me and chargin' a bit lesser, then why not.
One of the purposes of the forum is to exchange experience.
Oh yeah, by the way $30 - $24 = $6.
Thanks

[defibros]

Anyone knows where I can get some after market one for an 03 off eBay ??

My uncle used to drive all around town, just to get the best price on a carton of beer. Sure he saved $2, but I would think he used more than that in fuel.....

[viper8548]

Can anyone suggest some aftermarket wipers for 06+ CL9? the OEM ones are horrible, starts streaking after 2 months, already been replaced under warranty and its happening again, car is always garaged.

take it to dealer your still under warranty arent you andy?
they'll change it as long as you can show them its stuffed.

[Rob_A]

Back in my dealership days we gave up on fitting no gen to the euro's. Having 2 much trouble with the width and length.

I've got the genuines in mine and mum's is on its 3rd set of gen's in 4 years/100,000kms. And will keep using them.

Cost a few $$ more but saves a lot of stuffing around and trouble.

ffs, my wipers have gone to shit again.
chattering and leaving streaks on my windscreen.
I paid $24 for the two inserts from Honda.

Anybody else have some good alternatives and/or ideas to stop the rubber inserts going crusty?

If you have a 2003-2005, PIAA silicone inserts are the best I've found. Cost me $36 from overseas, but 1 set lasted me 2 years. The Honda refills cost me $30 but lasted only 6 months.

[power_of_dreams]

I have on 06 lol.
Don't suppose PIAA make them for 06?

Just reading up, alot of people are changing the actual wiper blades. Is this necessary or should I just be looking at a quality rubber insert?

Not much choice with 06 then. If you are able to measure your stock inserts (length, width and how it secures on the blade), then maybe you can find an aftermarket equivalent.

You don't need to change the blades unless they are damaged. Just change the inserts.

I got these frameless wiper blades from a X3E (trader) on OH last week

They work really well, good even pressure along the whole blade, they look nice too.

I'll let you know how long they last.

Ive got an 03 though, so you'll have to check you're 06 wipers t see if they fit.

I'm just picky. If they start streaking, I toss them out. My dad says his silicone lasted 11 years as well, when I drove his car, the wipers streaked like hell! Depends on personal standards. LOL.

I still have my previous PIAA pair which I used for 2 years. If anyone in Sydney wants it for $5, let me know and I can bring it to the next Euro meetup. LOL

Yep super cheap has refills that are 650mm. I bought one for my Euro about 1 month ago. Forgot what brand it was but they said they were for trucks and SUV's. There pretty good but wouldn't know how long they will last.

[The X Man]

The Honda OEM inserts are shit. They last around 6 months then start to chatter and streak.

They cost around $30 so not too bad but it's nice to know Honda's wiper blades reflect on the poor quality of their cars too.

[xxb4xx]

supercheap auto does sell 650mm blades.. The brand is Trico, I used to work for supercheap when I was alot younger :)

Guys are the blades both 6mm or 6 passenger 8mm driver?? I need to change mine too.. I have an 03 luxury euro

Good idea is to polish/clean your windscreen too with the right stuff, makes a big difference to way your wipers work. RainX is helpfull too but pricey.

RainX + PIAA silicone wipers = skippy heaven. :(

I need to use Sonax windscreen washer additive to smooth it out for the first few days.

[tron07]

I wax my windscreen.... good for 1-2 week, after that it start jumping all over

[traumatized]

supercheapauto sell refills for "light trucks". They are graphite coated, 710mm in length with a "universal" plastic backing to suit 6mm and 8mm on the refill.

that is what I am using on my euro atm and have been good for about a year now

[corn_flakes]

which supercheap store did you get this from?

i went to the auburn and bankstown one and can't see anything longer than 620mm.

are they in a different section to the normal wipers?

[stink]

hi just to let everyone who's chasing wiper refills for either the 03-05 and 06 onwards accord euro, that you can get em from repco. just ask the sales guy cause they keep all the different lengths you need in the back.

got mine yesterday for $14 for the pair for the 06 model and fitted perfectly. you can also get silicone wipers as well for about 25 dollars each but decided to get the rubber ones instead cause so cheap anyway :D.

yeah, i've got a lux.

i didn't realise how much my old wipers were streaking until i changed. now i use the windscreen washers all the time!

[biee2]

was just down at super cheap this afternoon and yeah got myself some new wipers....28inch (710mm) long.....paid lik 9 dollars something for it...hehehe

just the rubber inserts, as i stated in my previous comments above

my new oem honda wipes I replaced have squeaked since I've put them in, my old ones didn't squeak, I've taken them apart and re-installed them but still the squeak remains.

7 bucks a small bottle which lasts ages isn't pricey, it worth it , helps heaps I rarely use my wipers these days with that stuff on my screen.

What brand where they, and what model euro do you have?
I know the driver and passenger side insert lengths are different, can you confirm the lengths of the ones you bought?

thanks:thumbsup:

cool, will check it out. I suppose for $9, they can't be much worse than OEM.
are you using any washer or windscreen additives?
I'm using some ghetto armorall windscreen wash and am planning on using rainx soon (bought it, but havn't applied it)

if I look at my windscreen closely, I can see marks where the blades aren't in contact with the screen due to skipping and chattering.

Best windscreen additive that I have used is still Sonax. Bought it from Autobarn.

that is also what i'm using, but only recently, only used plain water in the past.

yes give your windscreen a good clean and then put some rain-x before you install the new refills

Just make sure they're 650mm and not 610mm i got ones that are too short lol...

Not to worry, i just used the cut off from the other blade and taped it on carefully until i get something that works...

lol dodgy... i know....

Try pulling apart the wiper blade to see if the refill is a standard type that is just encased in the low profile plastic. If you can measure the length, width, height and also take a pic of the end of the wiper blade rubber, then we can see if a standard blade can be retrofitted into it.

[by-life]

I also need to replace my wipper, after getting a pair of blades from Big-w, couldn't fit them in. So, I refund it.

Which brand and where can find exact blade rubber except dealer?

Also, it was tricky to take off the blade cover at first time, I tried twice at first time and nearly gave up.

[by-life]

I have on 06 lol.
Don't suppose PIAA make them for 06?

absolutely looking for quality blades insert is more value.

I still havn't changed them, cbf getting around to it. The shitty honda ones do ok wiping the screen, but they are making all sorts of noises.

you mentioned "The long one is 8mm and the short one is 6mm wide. " for which model? MY06 uses the same?

You are right mate, I have changed blade inserts with dealer once, they are chatter now for less than a year.:thumbdwn:

[aaronng]

No, that is only for 2003-2005.

You will have to measure your own low profile wiper rubber. Take out the rubber blade from the plastic and measure it.

[by-life]

I tried super cheap auto, Autobam and repeco today, they locate the same place.
It can be concluded that the euro MY06 Model can only use oem brand. delear sell them for $35 pairs.

Some mates said that they used the Aunger refill rubber which doesn't work for MY06.

[power_of_dreams]

Go back a page, couple of guys said you need to cut the aunger ones to length for the 06

[aaronng]

Can someone with an old pair of 2006-2008 wiper blades in their garage just go and pull it apart and measure? If Aunger ones fit in the low profile wipers, then a PIAA one would as well! Measure measure measure!

I actually bought Aunger, and cut it.
The problem is that Aunger includes two parts for one piece of refill (base plastic support and rubber insert). Rubber will not be fit in without base support, but the rubber would be higher with base. In this circumenstance, I found the rubber could not wipe windscreen perfectly .

which size do you want to know? Aunger supports 6mm and 8mm wide both.
The deep will cause problem for MY06. Like above, the rubber could not work properly. Even the stuff of store said Aunger was very bad quality:confused:. It was $9.15.

Sorry about the poor quality photo. This is a photo of the driver and passenger side wipers from my '08 Euro (build '07). Both blades are the same width (6mm) and profile. Length is 650mm driver, 375mm passenger.

They certainly look the same width.I'm due for some blades.Not sure how to change the bloody things though.

[According2]

They are quite simple to remove. Just peel back the rubber at one end and slide the blade out, if you look closely at the photo you can see I have done that to take the photo.

That's very similar to the 03-05 blades, except that the middle strip is much much wider. The 375mm in 6mm width is easy to get, but finding 650mm in 6mm width will be difficult. Aftermarket 650mm length refills are almost always 8mm in width. Those Trico or Aunger universal refills with both 6 and 8mm width might fit.

[E-Gene]

Just bought a pair of universal fit(6mm/8mm) 710mm inserts and cut them to fit my 07 Euro. Works fine. Paid $10 for them from Super Cheap Auto.

Now to put some RainX on and I'm ready for the rainy season ahead.

Is RainX really worth it? Just a question.

Honda wiper blades are shit, no doubt about that. I successfully claimed warranty on the first set of blades but subsequent sets i wasn't so lucky.

bosch aerotwin, usually sell for $30ea, so its $60 for a pair, but super cheap had a runout on them a few months back for $3ea, and now supercheap carry their own brand trindon or someshit, very similar to the bosch, they are charging about $25 or something.
alternatively, get the ones by x3e as they r very similar as well
i run those blades on every car i have owned for the past few years, its makes driving in the rain enjoyable

Repco sell their own version of the Bosch Aerotwin wipers and they are on sale at the moment. Buy one get one free so $30 for both! I just bought a set and the quality is pretty good and way better than the similar Trico ones at Supercheap. It's called Repco 'Hydroblade'.

For the 03-05 euros, make sure you buy the 400mm (16") and 660mm (26") ones.

[corn_flakes]

over 4 years of owning my euro, i've yet to find any aftermarket wiper refills to fit the damn euro.

everything is 610mm (24") in length...2 inches too short for the driver's side wiper blade. we need at least 650mm (26")

i found some 710mm (28") trico brand refills going for about $13-14 at supercheapauto...which is great since we can cut it down to size. BUT, the bottom part of the refill is 7.5mm wide (stock euro is 6mm).

does anyone know if these 7.5mm wide ones would fit? i'm leaning towards 'no', but i'm not gonna waste money just to try it.

[CB7_OWNER]

OEm honda wiper rubber refills are only about 20 bucks /side

[corn_flakes]

$20 each side? so $40 in total? that's why i want to buy aftermarket ones.

maybe if i was sh!tting gold i'd buy everything from the stealership.

there are 710mm wipers available but only in 8mm wide ones.

i don't want to waste money just in case it doesn't fit.

I'm after a model number or some info!

t.i.a

[seanneko]

Yeah I'm using the Repco ones - Hydroblade or whatever they're called. Paid $40 for the pair.

I've only had them on for about a month so I can't comment on their lifespan, but they seem to work well, no complaints so far.

[power_of_dreams]

hmmm, interesting, guess it will be a while before we find out if they last longer than oem ones.

I recall reading somewhere somebody got a repco pair for $8 or something but I couldnt find the post

[viper8548]

I tried with a 26" PIAA 8mm, doesnt fit no matter how hard I try.

[corn_flakes]

i still find it odd that these wiper manufacturers haven't made 26" wiper refills! esp. considering how many new cars now have a long ass wiper arm.

anyway, i just cleaned my windscreen....then applied auto glym glass polish....then some rainx. i tried doing a 'dry' wipe with the wipers and it seemed to move across the windscreen very smoothly with no shudder (these are with my old wiper rubbers too).

just need a rainy day to really test it.


can anyone tell me how long rainx lasts after you apply it? and how much do u apply to the windscreen?

I can tell you now RainX should last about 2 weeks if not more... depends on how much you wipe and ect... generally when i get a bug on the windscreen i go crazy and wipe like half my water bottle. so i apply it everytime i wash the car. :D

I spent the whole day looking for my CL9 "06 rubber blades and was unsuccessful. I went to autobarn, supercheap auto, autoxcel and repco. I ended up going to Warwick Farm Honda parts and found them there. Here are the prices. drivers side $15.94 and passenger side $14.25 = $33.20 I was willing to pay this price because i had stripped the original ones. =( Hopefully this will go the distance.

[schonda]

Will the 06 wipers fit the 04 euro model???? Also $33.20 was that for refills or the whole new blade?

Aren't the 06 wipers like the current civic wipers like better quality?

[asshat]

RainX + Bosch Aerotwin = pwnage

[snYpz]

06 wont fit the 04 and vice-versa.

The width of the blades are wider in the 06+.

Im not talking about the rubber inserts im talking about the whole blade itself, i don't get why it wouldn't fit esp. if it's 'hook' style arm it should carry the new wider blade?

not sure if they fit te 04, but for $33 they are definately only the rubber inserts.

Sorry i meant the rubber inserts, My bad LOL

[schonda]

Is it some super rubber? How's it performing haha geee...

[tron07]

if you look at the manual for the 06 or later models, it instruct you to slide the rubber out and put in the new rubber refills

[EuroZed]

Bosch has to be the best i ve used so far, exactly oem quality too
Trico was really good oem but dont think they still sell?
One i bought few months ago and still running really well are Tridon or some brand like that at Autoone, they use Valeo rubber inserts (so high quality stuff).
Tried repco one and they were crap......returned them and they guy at Repco said why did u buy them they are so bad i will refund them to you (where as i actually went to get them exchanged as it was missing a whole centre spot in the middle of the windscreen!)

[aaronng]

Nah, it's just superbranded rubber. Overpriced OEM stuff. Those with an 03-05 are in luck because they can use the PIAA silicone wiper inserts which last a looong time and also leave a waterbeading film on the glass so you don't need RainX. For those with the 06 onwards, it is a bit more difficult.

I just picked up a set of 3M branded wipers while I was on a trip to Taiwan. Looks like the original 03-05 wipers (includes the metal bits up to the hook).

Why you changing from PIAA to 3M?

Im takin my mum to the airport tonight, she's off to taiwan - ill ask her to buy wipers for me, well, if she understands how/where to get them...

[TurBIce]

hey, Would changing the wiper blades on the CU2 the same as changing them on the FD civic?

Mann i had the car for about 3 weeks and i already have lines on the wipers~~

I'm probably going to use the 3M wiper blades but with PIAA rubber. Depends on my mood. Bought the 3M ones because the whole wiper cost me only AU$20! Dirt cheap! Even the PIAA wiper refills cost more than that!

[tron07]

mine is still the stock 06 rubber and start to judder... but once I clean the rubber its okay, looking for silicone ones, and boy or boy, they can last, previous set in another car overseas have em like for 10 years.... and the car was park under the sun most of the time, tropical weather.

nice
but overseas have ozone layer missing letting uv rays through like here? things damage to fast unless uv protected here :(

[tron07]

I think silicone got better uv resistance compare to rubber

[mikey72]

these are the tridon ones you can get from any supercheap

TCP2428-2 Wiper Refill Plastic - Combo Pack 6.5mm & 7.5mm 610mm (24") & 710mm (28") 2

these will fit the euros as they have a wider and longer wiper for the drivers side. just cut them to length AFTER you install them. I worked at SCA for 4 years and did many euro's, including my own, these'll be fine.

So these will fit the 07 Euros as well? There are so many comments on this thread, it's hard to sift through the ACTUAL information needed to get replacement wiper refills for my Euro. Cos from what I understand the earlier Euros have different width wipers compared with the later ones.

Just really need to know, which brand wiper refills fit my 07 Euro and where I can get them from, locally or imported.

just go outside and mesure, if your drivers side is 7-7.5mm wide and less than 710mm long and your passenger side is 6-6.5mm wide and like then 610mm long they will work.

NOTE: these will only work for wipers with a refill system, wipers with an 'Aerotwin' or 'Flexblade' system will not suit.

Your other option is to buy a set of wiper arms so you will only need the 6mm refills from then on.

[kimnkk]

Does anyone here has been using Bosch wipers (those frameless Aerotwin blades)...its very difficult to search for the correct size.

Yeah! Anyone know if Bosch Aerotwins come in the euro size?

[seanneko]

I posted a few months ago here about how I put in some Repco Hydroblades (or whatever they call them).

They lasted about 2 months before they started squeaking when the windscreen is dry (or just a tiny bit of water), and leave streaks now... So yeah, wouldn't recommend them considering how expensive they are...

[TurBIce]

so whats the wipers i use for CU2 euro? and where do i get them from? besides dealer.
Im not sure if the CL model wipers will work on cu2.

[TurBIce]

went to call a few stores. non have cu2 wipers.
autoone suggested i get those new mounts + wiper blades.
so its $45 for the new mounts.
then $14 everytime i want to replace the wiper blades.

but i like the oem mounts. it has this earo dynamic looking thing on it.

These DO NOT fit 06 Euros. Just wasted money buying these today. The drivers side for the 06 Euro needs to be 6.5mm; 7.5mm ones dont fit.

[Fredoops]

I've gone thru 2 setsof replacement rubbers, they don't seem to fit or work very well, so I've given up and just ebay'd a new set of wipers off eBay, so far they worked pretty well. And it only cost $25 or something(http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/viewitem?emvAD=320x356&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=96141034069&itemId=320671415702)

Sounds like someone has replaced your drivers side arm? I bought this pack and serviced mine.

Also see:


just go outside and measure, if your drivers side is 7-7.5mm wide and less than 710mm long and your passenger side is 6-6.5mm wide and like then 610mm long they will work.

[marquee]

Go to repco I got 710mm for $4 and worked perfectly dont buy the ones from the pack you can get them in singles. I know they are diff widths too one is 8mm the other is 6mm not sure which side is which

[eurofan]

I've gone through this thread a couple of times but am a little confused...

I have a 2006 accord euro. Where can I get aftermarket wiper blades which fit my car? Just the rubber inserts...

Thanks!

[Avs]

Hi Guys

I have a V6 Honda Accord Luxury 2008 - What wiper size will I need and other than OEM where else can I purchase from?

Cheers

So do they work for stock then?

[ChaosMaster]

Just want to add. I've put on my Bosch Aero Twin blades on, and they work great. Only thing is they seem to be a bit taller than OEM. What this means is while with the OEM blades, they stay low and aren't visible above the bonnet line, the Bosch ones are. Not so good for aerodynamics then.

[deuces]

I went to autobarns to ask about which ones i needed, they said we hondas need like 7-7.5 inches or something, i dont remember if it was inches or cm but yeah they said hondas decided to have different size which makes it alot harder haha

[Lazarus]

I buy mine from Supercheap Auto: Tridon MCP2428-2 Wiper Refills for the Pre-FL 05 Euro.

I got these for my 05, work well except had to trim one slightly (takes 10 seconds). Cheap too.

[Adrian128]

I use Tridon Flexblade on my wife's CU2.. they work really well.. no squeaks, no streaks.
