thats wierd that you need to change them. i had mine since the beggining and they are good as new.

next time you should lubricate them once a year and they will last forever. they sell the lube in pep boys.... and it really works, the rubber doesnt dry up

well eventually they lose alot of there ability to shed away water, that was in my case, and I got some new ones at walmart and they worked great.

Ichibahn has some pretty sweet ones. i think that they were about 10$-20$ a pieice but they came with metal casings and all that good stuff. if you to crutchfield.com they have one of the best websites for aftermarket stuff for the 7th gen civic

i spent $11 and got some rain x wiper blades. they work tons better than stock imo

streetglower · 08-12-2004

I dont get some of you all. I can understand spending $11 or so on rain x wiper blades, but for those of you who insist on paying $30-$60 on wiper blades, you are idiots, no offense but that is the biggest waste of money. Wiper blades are wiper blades, they all serve the same purpose, to shed water away. I guarentee you my $4 wiper blades work exactly the same as the $60 wiper blades.

ive got tenzo r wiper blades. they were 50 bucks. i just got em cuz i thought they looked better. the only bad thing on some of the cheap ones is the finish will wear off on the outside.

Why do you want wiper blades that look good? That is what ricers do. Or most of the mexicans around here. Buy these fancy wiper blades that are a joke. Even with the cheap ones, the finish isnt a big deal, it is black. Mine have been on for like 20,000 miles and they are great. But if you all want to waist your money on that go ahead.

I say if you got the money..then spend it.

There is no use pulling your hair out because you don't agree with other peoples spending habits. Once my oem ones stop working good, i'll pic up another set of honda ones. They are over 2 yrs old, I just wipe em off everytime I wash my car.

I can understand getting OEM ones, but spending $50-$60 for some high tech wiper blades that do the same as the $5-$10 ones is stupid. Thats just how I feel, but if people want to waist there money on that, then be my guest. I am just voicing my opinion.

I have these PIAA ones which were supposed to be the shit, but turned out to just be shit Try buying blades an in larger than recommended on each side, I've heard it helps better...
