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

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

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??

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?

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.

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

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.
