which size do you want to know? Aunger supports 6mm and 8mm wide both.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Now to put some RainX on and I'm ready for the rainy season ahead.
Is RainX really worth it? Just a question.
If you have regular graphite rubber wipers, yes.Quote:

just bringing this thread back up. anyone tried using a 24" blade/frame whatever it is on the driver side? lol 26" are hard to find these days
can i get dealer to replace my wipers. cuase mine dont wipe very cleanly can i say its a warranty issue
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.Quote:

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
searched this thread and other related thread but no luck...what's the length of the short wiper blade for the 03-05 model?
It is 16" or 400mm.Quote:

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.
I can't remember if you have 03-05 or 06+Quote:

haha thats what I thought. I rang up Rosebery Honda and they told me to **** off, which is understandable. More like wear'n'tear issueQuote:

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

I wanna get the silicon ones on the Graphite like the ones they use for OEM... I'm sick and tired of using RainX every 2 weeks on the windscreen! GAY!
yeh same lol silicone would be nice. too bad they dont come in 26"!Quote:

there are 710mm wipers available but only in 8mm wide ones.
Wen U find out please let me know!!!
lol i was hoping someone who had 8mm wide wipers somewhere could try...
i don't want to waste money just in case it doesn't fit.
anybody using the repco branded wipers?
I'm after a model number or some info!
t.i.a
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.
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
I tried with a 26" PIAA 8mm, doesnt fit no matter how hard I try.
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. :DQuote:

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?
RainX + Bosch Aerotwin = pwnage
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?Quote:

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.Quote:

Why you changing from PIAA to 3M?Quote:

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!Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Your other option is to buy a set of wiper arms so you will only need the 6mm refills from then on.
Yeah! Anyone know if Bosch Aerotwins come in the euro size?Quote:

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.
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.Quote:

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

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!
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

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
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.Quote:
