windshield wiper blades

[jlat]

hello people: Irt's been a long time since I changed them and it's needed. Brain fart. Due U activate the arm a bit so it sits on the windshield or just pull the arm up manually? Also what blades do youz like? What are on there are anco arm with a curve in it. I'd like to get some with replacable blades not the whole arm like I do on my CRV. I buy the blades from the dealership for the CRV.

Activate, use the key to kill them in a good position.
Mine never last perfectly more than a year being outside all the time.
I'm still cheap, so I move the drivers side to the passenger side.
I buy the whole blade, I think the originals were replaceable however.
I've used Bosch, Michelin, and RainX from Walmart they all suck.

Here what I have use for that last three sets.
Don't drive car much, this last set probably five years old. I just apply some rainx blade dressing every year or so.
Hwy Star sells OEM very similar to the trico.

The Rain-X ones aren't terrible, contrary to another's opinion.

They keep the W/S clear in rain and last about a year and a half in the hot AZ desert.

Pretty simple to install, too, if I 'memebr right

I will admit they all work just fine, they just suck to replace for $10-$26 EACH when they used to last years in the old days.
Then again my father had to install a hand operated wiper on his '28 Chevy open car so I really shouldn't complain much.

hello people: Speaking of auto parts do youz think they're all the same?. I've been going to NAPA and I might try a different place.

Agree. $30 to ship wipers is robbery.

I like NAPA for parts, the one in Cheshire CT is a small store that sells to repair shops so they know parts.
As in you don't need make and model to get an answer about a part you might need for something custom, like fittings.

If ordering on line - The last time I checked Rockauto. Good quality black and I think FEDEX Ground was about $10-11 if that was all I ordered. I headed over to NAPA parts store - very good & had'm right away.
