Civic06+ Windscreen Wipers

[fab4272]

My blades, on the driver;s side are skipping and jumping around the last 20% of sweep. Can't find the blades at any repco or autobarn, so rang a dealer. I nearly fell out of my chair when he told me it was $19 for on side and about $16 for the other. All up, $35 for wiper blades????????????? whats going on here???

Plus, if I don't use the wipers for a day or two, they stick to the screen. Anyone else has this problem?

Anyone with an 07 civic have any issues with the wipers? Seems to be 06 models only.

Hi, just wondering... since I'm not servicing with Honda, is swaping the blade becoz of these "jumping" reason is free?

so much for the 'supposed' imporovements for bracketless wiper blades. Apart from looking great, I haven't noticed any real improvement over the traditional type, which used to clean the screen just fine and laster more that a year...

It just looks cool. I don't think there's that much real benefit to it.

this makes sense.... it took almost a year for my wipers to start farting. hopefully the problem is fixed with the 07 civics, however only time will tell (especially over the coming months!)

one thing that did help for me is to give them a good wipe down with armorall plastic/rubber surface protectant, and to give the windscreen a really thorough wash with detergent / glass cleaner. only temporary fixes though...

chylld, i recall you're suggesting on a brand for cleaning the wiper and or windscreen last time? What brand you think its good?

i've only tried one brand, armorall... here's the stuff i use (go camera phone!)



now that i read the label it doesn't sound like it's supposedto be used on rubber... but oh well works for me, stops the farting for over a month at a time
