good windshield wipers

[Nissan-S14]

What are some good windshield wipers? i really dont like the nissan oem.

[UTWarrenG]

i'm kind of a fan of the Anco Aerovantages....about $6.99 each at your local parts store, they last quite awhile, and seem to do a decent job.

I've heard really good things about Bosch Micro Edge Excels, but i refuse to pay $15.99 or so per blade

[silkk]

bosch makes good ones

[driftnS13 240sx]

ya i like the bosch ones 2

The bosch ones are the best that I've used.

I really don't care, as long as they do their job tho

Bosch microedge work well, but you can also try PIAA, they've got silicone wiper blades and those work very well...just expensive though at 20 a pop. The trico stuff sucks, at the way they go bad, you're better off in the long term getting the Bosch or PIAA...just avoid trico...

[wangless]

bummer... just bought trico. guess ill return them tomorrow

... you can also try PIAA, they've got silicone wiper blades and those work very well...just expensive though at 20 a pop...

yes, silicone is the way to go...:naughty

but, $20 a pop??? try tripleedge... ~$7 each w/ lifetime warranty!!!

I've got the same pair since '98; never had to buy wipers again!:ylsuper i just wipe 'em down w/ a wet cloth occasionally cause it does collect dust...

^where at?

[fiznat]

why not just rain-x your windsheild, then it doesnt even really matter what brand blades you buy. I rain-x all the time (whenever it starts to wear away), and water just beads up and blows off the glass when I'm moving... At that point, any cheap-o wipers will do just fine. Rain-x is the sheit.

[BomexS13]

how about just take it off and just use Rain-x :thumbup

[Chingon]

hey, you did, I don't see wipers in your sig... ^

[ricebike]

^where at?

:doh @ my local walmart... keep the receipt, make a copy/scan/digipic of it & save it w/ one of the boxes for your lifetime warranty... if any part of the blade fails, they'll replace it for free!

My blades still holdin up & I have to scour my filing cabinet for the receipt... but it's currently $6.88 here + tx.

I do a combo of these silicone wipers + rainX recently... geez, the rainX really makes the water just sheet up 'n over the roof! :shocked2

a while back, walmart had colored silicone blades/wiper frames <bling bling> :pimp but, i guess they have discontinued it, cause i don't see them anymore since the reorganization of the stores.

If I wanted a sig pic, I'd take my wipers off too.

[wangless]

i think ill head to walmart to get some tripleedge and rainx tomorrow. good stuff ricebike

[Nissan-S14]

u think they sell PIAA in autozone?

[wangless]

was just at kragen... they only carry the trico and bosch (sp?)... must hit autozone next...

[ricebike]

just checked online http://www.autozone.com they don't have piaa wiperz...

fiz, ya, rainX works great by itself...but come winter time, you'll need to squeegee those snowflakes off your windshield...:spam

[180fan]

check options auto salon for those piaa's if you're gonna get them. I think the 240 uses 20" or 21" wipers. might wanna see if they give a break to NICO members. lol

[KRUZNBY]

At least in my s14, the wipers are different sizes for the driver's side and the passenger's side. I know the driver's side is longer. I think it is 21" driver & 20" passenger, but I could be wrong.

[ricebike]

ya, weird how more cars have 2 different sizes for wipers nowadays... like having one hand bigger than the other...

my s13 calls for 20" d/s & 19" for pass... i just got 2 x 20"s just to look 'even' that extra .5" jutting out on each side from the wiper's attachment to the arm on the p/s doesn't go over my windshield...
