hey guys, i need to replace my windshield wipers cuz its beginning to rain and stuff...i know the passenger side is 17", how long is the drivers side?
thanks guys

 

26..............

 

as nicely mentioned in your owners manual..and in the book next to the wipers at the store

 

Replace them with SILBLADE. I have them and haven't changed them in 18 months and they wipe like brand new.

never heard of them before. i am going for PIAA

 

I just ordered and put some PIAA's on, but haven't had to use them yet, so I can't comment one way or the other. Maybe this weekend.

 

aiite cool thanks guys...thats what i thought but i did a quik search on ebay and nothing came up so i thought i might have been wrong...
thanks again

 

With that many posts and that much done to your car, I thought ya woulda already known the answer.... whatever.... I learn new stuff almost everytime I'm on here anyways....

Nice pics on your website by the way... I like the gunmetal rims...

 

thanks man...ive been way too busy w/ school to really keep up w/ the car, and seeing as i've never changed the wipers b4, the topic never really came up for me

 

Too many times I got wipers at the auto store, either using their book or the guy looked it up on the computer.. and they were too short. Both my wife's car and mine. So now I take the blades in with me!

I haven't tried any of the fancy blades, but really like Bosch. OEM is too expensive. Anco, Tridon, etc. really seem to perform poorly. Part of it is the car though. I had a 77 Cordoba with great wipers. ANY brand blade would just vaporize water on the first sweep. Maxima's need help.. get good blades.

 

I got some inserts from the stealer for about 14 bucks

 

I gotta wonder what this world is coming to when you have to get freakin' windshield wipers on ebay. Is it really that difficult to go to the local auto parts store and get some? My local Advance Auto has 6 different types of wiper blades to choose from! Get off the couch and go down the street! , windshield wipers are not $$ and any $$ you'd save on ebay you'd pay for in shipping!

 

wow! they've got a 5 yr warranty too, eh? If they keep their word on the warranty, i guess that's a pretty good deal then.

 

so if the wipers start getting streaks, they will replace it for free??

 

They better. It's 5 year UNCONDITIONAL guarantee. I'll give them a try before winter hits.

 

Yea, i'm kinda interested. I don't know how this company plans on making money on these. One set couldn't possibly last 5 years. Maybe they''re banking on people forgetting about the warranty??

 

Being a newb and all, I have to ask: Where is the cheapest place to buy PIAA replacement refill wiper blades?

 

I've got PIAAs and they work great. I've only had them for a couple of moths, so I don't know how long they last.

 

I just bought Anco at Autozone. They are CRAP. I had some even more generic brand before these and they were 10X better. Wasted $20.

 

I love my Piaa wipers!

Well have to see how they hold up to winter though

 

To all of you, put some rainX on, so you don't have to use your wipers when its pouring..

 

Bosch MicroEdge

Ive used anco aerovantage blades too and liked them.

 

Where to buy piaa blades? My originals have lasted 3 years, streak free.

 

Will these refills work:

Thats what I have; Anco aerovantage. Work like crap for me.

 

I just ordered and received mine. Got them within a week. They ran about $20 shipped.

Still haven't had to use them yet, but will be really happy if I get 3 yrs out of them. Well worth the $20 then!!

 

I got my PIAAs at www.custommaxima.com

 

Do they fit the stock wiper arm? The site I listed talks about sometype of "stop" on the wiper arm...I know we have square claws.

 

I'm pretty sure the refills work with our stock arms, but can someone confirm? Of the links posted so far, it looks like the refills are cheapest at Autobarn. I don't think we (LCT) can even beat that price...

 

Well I ordered the refills only, and got them today. I'll try to put 'em on later.

 

Update? Did they work out ok? I might get them if they fit.

 

Yeah...I got refills only. I'm guessing you can by the whole blade if you need. Just give them a call. The process went real smooth. Just asked them about the sizing needed for a 2k2, and they were shipped, and I recived them in 3 or 4 days. I just had our first rain/snow, and they worked great.

 

my stock ones only last about 8 months, and then they start streaking.

 

Ordered the SILLBLADEs, used the adapters that came wiyh 'em and they work great! Rubber wiper blades wear out due to the oil (acts as a solvent on rubber) that is in the air (pollution, etc.) and that is brought up off the road. They work perfeck! WELL worth the $. Get 'em and forget refills.

 

I also use rain x and its true I'd be pouring out and I got my wipers on low with delay. works nice. I bought the stuff that goes in the reserve tank so it applies when you clean the windshield.
