Nope. BOSCH........nuff said

EManEX · 07-13-2004

I use Bosch as well I'm glad with them.

taz757 · 07-13-2004

I think the ones I've got are the BOSCH teflon coated ones. Man, they're sexy. I'll never worry about having to RainX my windshield again.

Stock because the employee discount makes it soo cheap

FALKEN · 07-13-2004

how cheap??

i got the BOSCH Micro-Edge
20" = $5.00
22" = $6.00

Bosch

I dynoed it after i changed the wipers and i noticed a gain of 15.7HP and 12lb tq.

zen_master · 07-13-2004

stock, dude.

just refill your OEM wiper blade..

$6 for two rubbers...

VTEC01EX · 07-13-2004

I'm on Bosch here too... Standard Micro-Edge in original size. The "premium" ones have been, for me anyway, nothing but marketing hype and a fancier box.

BlackVic · 07-13-2004

I've got a question.... I just got some new bosch wipers and they didn't snap into place and they feel sorta loose but not terribly loose. Also the 19" wiper came with an adapter and i'm not sure if it's necessary or how it goes on! So what do i do about these things?

BlackVic · 07-13-2004

bump

kjgracing · 07-13-2004

BlackVic · 07-13-2004

i have no play or looseness in mine...the both of them just snapped on and i didnt need to use any adapters

if your unsure on how to install them, just refer to your manual

brill · 07-14-2004

im using some motomaster blades from canadian tire. they are crap. i will never buy wiper blades from them again.

as far as the adapters, the way the civics wiper arms work you shouldn't need an adapter, but wiper blades usually come with adapters in case you have a different system.

i had the piaas on my accord, they worked really nice. just don't try to use them when your windsheild frosts over

Skunk2ner · 10-19-2004

i need new wipers pretty bad, my stockers are old and beat. and now it's raining... maybe i'll go to kragen or autozone.

I had the Piaa's on my accord. They were good, but overpriced. I only bought them, because I get discounts on anything PIAA. I just put the TriplEdge Silicone blades on last night. My wife called from work and said that they worked great compared to stock. Plus they come with a lifetime warranty:

TRIPLEDGE All Season Premium Silicone Wipers carry a lifetime warranty against cracking, rotting, tearing or wearing out for as long as you own you car. This warranty is issued jointly to you and the vehicle for which it was purchased.

sw388integra · 10-19-2004

go to honda and get new wiper blades...mine made a big difference...

how much did you pay for the tripleedge ones?

Dishwasher · 10-19-2004

Rain-X wins :P, go to autozone and pick up a bottle, then you never have to use your wipers.

blackcivic07 · 10-19-2004

i hear rain-x leaves a film on your windsheild that just keeps building up every time you re-apply it.

I have PIAA on my Prelude. It's probably the best long lasting wiper blade I've ever tried so far. I have it on my Prelude for about two years now & it still working well, just slightly worn out. I have Bosch on my Civic right now & it's just okay. They don't last as long as PIAA. As a matter of fact, it's almost time for me to change the Bosch on the Civic & it's only about eight months old.
