Windscreen Wipers Refills

[aaronng]

I had mine replaced just 2 months ago and they are fu**ed already! Sick of this Honda shit.

Try pulling apart the wiper blade to see if the refill is a standard type that is just encased in the low profile plastic. If you can measure the length, width, height and also take a pic of the end of the wiper blade rubber, then we can see if a standard blade can be retrofitted into it.

I also need to replace my wipper, after getting a pair of blades from Big-w, couldn't fit them in. So, I refund it.

Which brand and where can find exact blade rubber except dealer?

Also, it was tricky to take off the blade cover at first time, I tried twice at first time and nearly gave up.

I have on 06 lol.
Don't suppose PIAA make them for 06?

Just reading up, alot of people are changing the actual wiper blades. Is this necessary or should I just be looking at a quality rubber insert?

absolutely looking for quality blades insert is more value.

I still havn't changed them, cbf getting around to it. The shitty honda ones do ok wiping the screen, but they are making all sorts of noises.

You are right mate, I have changed blade inserts with dealer once, they are chatter now for less than a year.

No, that is only for 2003-2005.

You will have to measure your own low profile wiper rubber. Take out the rubber blade from the plastic and measure it.

I tried super cheap auto, Autobam and repeco today, they locate the same place.
It can be concluded that the euro MY06 Model can only use oem brand. delear sell them for $35 pairs.

Some mates said that they used the Aunger refill rubber which doesn't work for MY06.

Go back a page, couple of guys said you need to cut the aunger ones to length for the 06

Can someone with an old pair of 2006-2008 wiper blades in their garage just go and pull it apart and measure? If Aunger ones fit in the low profile wipers, then a PIAA one would as well! Measure measure measure!

I actually bought Aunger, and cut it.
The problem is that Aunger includes two parts for one piece of refill (base plastic support and rubber insert). Rubber will not be fit in without base support, but the rubber would be higher with base. In this circumenstance, I found the rubber could not wipe windscreen perfectly .

which size do you want to know? Aunger supports 6mm and 8mm wide both.
The deep will cause problem for MY06. Like above, the rubber could not work properly. Even the stuff of store said Aunger was very bad quality. It was $9.15.
