Stick with Honda Parts cost about $8 from dealer about twice as much dough but will last much longer and work much better.

I tried some aftermarket wipers and they sucked. They streaked and chattered and didnt even touch the windshield at spots. I ended up just getting the rubber wiper refills from the dealer which worked fine and cost about $8. Just my $.02.......

I bought aftermarkets from autozone, so far they work just fine. The factory ones went out a little quick IMO.

****, im only my 3rd set already, bout to be 4th. I think the sizes are 19 and 21. But autozone didnt have those sizes so i got 18 and 20. For some reason all wipers that i buy suk a$$. they last about 3 months and then cause streaks and skip areas. Ahh, its so frustrating.

About three to four months is about all you can expect out of a set of blades less if you use a car wash that uses liquid wax. One way to increase the life of you wipers is at the first sign of skipping or streaking take achol (denatured works best but rubing will do) and wipe down the blades. Also if that doesn't help you can use very fine and I mean very fine sandpaper (plastic model sandpaper) and sharpen the edges. Hope this helps.
