Wiper Refills
 

All,

My wipers on my '95 bit the dust. I went to get refills from my local subie dealer. The parts guy tells me he can only get the entire blades since Subaru no longer makes the refills. I would get new blades but they want $26 each :eek: for them.!

Do any of you know of some alternatives where I can get refills for the OE blades? My fall back position is getting some Bosch blades and replacing the OE ones. If getting aftermarket is my only alternative, do any of you have any recommendations?


Thanks,

Yoshi

Yoshi,
Before this gets buried...

I have replaced mine every 6 months (I would recommend this to anyone that lives in a dry area) with the Bosch blades. Yes there is that little streak where the runner hits the rubber but on a rainy day that disappears soon.

Good luck

you are one post from 1000!!!!!

i only replace mine when i have an annoying streak right in my line of view..i get mine from walmart and they last for months!

the local auto chain store around here sells a Trico OE refill that work very well in the rainy northwest. less than $10 apiece if I remember correctly.

Blades
 

Hi Yoshi, Anco, Bosch, Etc Have refills for OEM blades. You just take out the old blade and slide in the new. This lets you keep the wiper with the rubber block that lifts the blade off the glass at rest. Take care, BOBB

Months? I replace mine every couple of years. :rolleyes:

Checker sells some for about $10 I think if you don't want to deal with refills. That's where I got mine but I can't remeber the make.

I have Bosch wipers on mine. They work great. You shouldn't have to replace them as much as the cheaper brands, either.
