Windscreen Wipers Refills

[d_evilz]

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"!

can anyone confirm if we can squeeze 8mm wide wiper refills into the 2006-2008 euros?

there are 710mm wipers available but only in 8mm wide ones.

Wen U find out please let me know!!!

[corn_flakes]

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

[seanneko]

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.

[power_of_dreams]

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.

I spent the whole day looking for my CL9 "06 rubber blades and was unsuccessful. I went to autobarn, supercheap auto, autoxcel and repco. I ended up going to Warwick Farm Honda parts and found them there. Here are the prices. drivers side $15.94 and passenger side $14.25 = $33.20 I was willing to pay this price because i had stripped the original ones. =( Hopefully this will go the distance.

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?
