Hey all was wondering what wiper blades to get? I was leaning towards the Bosch micro edge... I know people say the PIAA silicones are nice, but too $$$ for wipers...

Does anyone know if I can just buy the PIAA inserts they have for $7 and use on existing wiper arms, or will I need the arm.

Also I guess I could check, but what size blades are used? Is it 22 and 18?

Thanks!

I will be ordering these soon for replacement blades....
check them out

 

Ok cool, yea I read about those on the site too! Thanks! Anyone else?

 

I used the Bosch for years and loved them, but, the last two sets didn't last three months before they starded streaking.

 

Oh really? I just purchased some for my Corolla about 4 or 5 months ago and so far so good I think haha.

 

Anyone else? I'm leaning towards the Bosch Micro edge...

BTW the stock blades were real good and would cause the windshield to actually repeal rain when not in use... I thought that was weird...

 

I had the same problem with my last car. They were good for about 10-12 mo. then i got the steaking.

 

whats wrong with the OEM wiper blades.

I'm pretty sure you can just change the silicon insert.

 

I changed the inserts in mine but the Nissan refills are like $20 from the dealer!!! RIPOFF!!! They do work great though!

 

yup. from my past experience on all cars, nothing work sbetter than the OEM wiper piece

Anyone try that one?? any feedback?????

 

Yea I was leaning towards getting the OEM inserts otherwise since it was real nice to begin with! Does anyone know if they are silicone or have rain x?

 

I had the bosch micro edge excel on my previous G coupe and they started squeaking after less than a month. Annoying as hell.

 

yup, bosch blades suck, mine separated and starded to peel apart in less then a year. not worth the money. I'm trying the anco teflon right now and it's holding up well and is a hellalot cheaper then the bosch or piaa.

 

Heck, I change mine every 3-4 months. When you drive as much as I do (5000+ a month), you don't put up with any streaking.
