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?

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

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

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

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

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!)

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).
