Hey,

I was wondering if you guys are having problems finding wiper blades in the stock at your local auto parts stores? I know I am. Most of the places (autozone, advance auto parts) don't carry the driver side blade (26") unless its the cheapo kind. Most are special order for the driver side like the Trico Teflon blades or the Bosch blades.

Also, are those Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades really that good? I saw that Tire Rack has them discounted for $19.99 each (driver & passenger blades).

hmmm....

 

yeah, you have to special order our sizes.
Advanced got my Icons one in 1 day and the other in 2 days.

I think there is still a $15 rebate per pair available. I ordered 2 pairs and awaiting my $30. plus I used 2 $5 coupons (they expired 12/31/05 though)

 

Had one side in, the other came in special order the next morning.

 

If there is a NAPA in your area, I'd try there. They had mine in stock and they weren't the chepo brands. I got the Bosch micro edge wipers.

 

so the driver side is 26", what about the passenger side? sorry for being a little off topic

 

I love my Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades! They've been on my '04 for a year through ice (Virginia), snow (Northern Arizona), & rain (virtually everywhere else) and not a problem with them so far.

I wish Tire Rack discounted them several months ago when I bought a set for my '99 Maxima.

 

I roll with Bosch Ikons. Best wipers I have ever had. And I didn't have patiense to order and wait so I got 24" for drivers side and 18" for passanger side. Works like a charm and really no noticable difference in comparison to stock.

 

I roll with Bosch Icons on both my vehicles, cleans water and snow off like a squeegee...

 

Damn, I want those icons but can't find them ANYWHERE here in Cali...
(I also looked online and nobody seems to sell them and Bosch doesn't even have them up on their site??)

 

From Advanced Auto Parts Web Site:

Bosch Icon BOSCH ICON WIPER BLADE Part Number: 426A (Drivers side)
Bosch Icon BOSCH ICON WIPER BLADE Part Number: 417A (Passenger side)

wow...26 thats crazy

 

Yep, 26" and 17"

 

I can also vouch for these wipers. Great in rain and/or snow. A little pricey though. Even bought a set for my wife's car.

 

Well, I just bought a set of the Valeo wipers from TireRack. Should be coming in the next few days. Those Bosch Icon and the Trico Innovision blades look really good also.

 

Just figured I'd bring this thread back from the dead. Just put on some Bosch Icons, they are amazing!! (and they look really good too!)

 

next person buying a set, can you buy 2 sets?

I will buy one set from you, I cannot get them here in Canada, and no vendor that does sell them will ship them here. Of course I will pay for all shipping expensnes and such.

Thanks a million,

Kam

 

Yeah I got the valeos when they came out for $80, but then there were no alternatives to get that design. The bosch look exactly the same, ill get those next.

 

I bought mine off Amazon.com, they won't ship to the great white north, eh?

 

Found the 26" at Autozone last week. Couldn't find it at a couple other places I looked though.

 

anyone ever try those silblades?

 

got mine at autozone..the bosh as well..had lots of them in stock

 

No they dont ship here cause amazon.ca does that. But amazon.ca doesnt have that listed. Right now I have the Canadian Tire Reflex Blades, but the friggin thing keeps ripping on me, so Canadian Tire keeps replacing them under their gurantee. I have not had a set longer then 3 months. I also bought a set for the family beater and the passenger one also ripped.
