Re: Windshield Wipers

You will need the new arms. That is a common mistake that people make - they replace the arms and wipers together instead of just the wipers. Then they don't work right.

You dont need new arms, just the replacement OEM wiper blade assembly (for which you can buy refills)

The aftermarket blades are universal and do not have the attached blocks that the OEM ones do.



Parts 1 & 2 in the diagram

86542PA040 ...Wiper Blade Assembly/ Driver's side ...$20.54
86548PA010 ...Wiper refill/ Drivers side ...$7.24


Parts 3 & 4 in the diagram:

86542PA060 ...Wiper Blade Assembly/ Passenger side ...$19.03
SOA591U320R Wiper Refill/ Passenger side ...$4.53

my friend SVXCESS, can you please send some pics of the block attached to the blades? Mine doesn't have it neither.... Now I know why it doesn't make any sens to me to have the blades squised on the small ramp.

Its a small square plastic block riveted to the blade assembly, right at the pivot. Have them check the part numbers again. I never had a problem with these numbers.

Packaged wrong? I've seen it happen.
