06 Wipers

[hengis]

My 06 wipers screech as well
happened first time - dealer cleaned it seemed to fix the problem... for a few months.

advised that wipers are not covered by warranty?

As Tony said, don't put antifreeze. Instead, look for "winter use" washer concentrate. Those contain a high concentration of alcohol so that your water doesn't freeze.

Yup... thats what I meant, not the normal Anti-freeze which is not meant for car or those that are corossive.... But then again, most washer concentrate are not that good for the paintworks....

washed a the car a few days ago... noticed some deposits on other parts of the windscreen so cleaned the whole screen.... seems to have got rid of the sounds... so suggest the same to others.

So far, Sonax is pretty good. I've tried others that were so strong that the area of paint that got wet with washer water was stripped of its wax!

I got it from autobarn. It comes in 2 sizes, a small one for a single dose (about $2.95), and a larger bottle ($10-12) that has enough for over 6 applications if you follow their dosage. I use 1/2 their dosage, so 1 bottle is enough for over 12-15 applications. Oh, and the single dose ones are one use only with a snap-off top, so it makes better sense to get the larger bottle if you plan to use it for each washer refill.

Anyone buy some non-Honda wiper refills for 06/07 Euro?

My OEM ones are two months old and already starting to be noisy and shutter on occasion. Sonax additive helps but they still make noises.

What Brand+Model wipers have u guys tried?
Wanna get some good silicon ones.

[whoops21]

my 06 has the shuttering problem since after a few months old... shutters really bad and dealership won't replace it under warranty..

instead they told me to replace the entire blades for $80 out of my own pocket.
a few of my friends with 06 uros have the same problem.. especially the 06 sports model.

might give the Sonax a try

Yea mines recently got the shuddering problem, they worked so damn well new, now there useless!

Yeh the Honda refills are a bit dodge. I may order some Silicon ones for the TSX from Trico and see how they go.

No idea which ones fit, but I guess you can try the ones that the 06-07 TSX guys are using in the US. I think they use Bosch Ikon.
