Sam, I merged your topic with the previous one. It was in K-series stock maintenance. I went ahead and merged the two topics then moved them back into Exterior Styling and Maintenance, since it seemed more fitting.
Thanks Jeff!
So any body else have some more recent recommendations? Honestly, my honda ones have been working great up until recently, I might just change out to those unless someone has a better recommmendation

I personally went and got a pair of Honda OEM wiper refills. It came out to like $16, and they work just fine.
However, I have noticed that with no matter what kind of wiper blades I use they always leave a haze behind the wipe that slowly fades. It's quite annoying.

Sam, I have had good luck with the Bosch Icon's since they've come out. Out of everything I have tried, those are the best performing and longest lasting. All the others I tried didn't perform well or weren't manufactured well and didn't last longer than a month or two. I have the Bosch Icon's on both cars sitting in my garage. If I could get my company to let me put them on my work vehicle instead of the cheapest thing on the shelf, I would.
Jeff, good call on merging the threads.

Same thing here. I need another set soon and was contemplating switching to another type. I might give the bosch's a try.

I've had consistency issues with Valeo's also. I tend to change my wipers once a year.

Check out trico neoform if your looking for a slightly cheaper alternative to bosch. I'm using them now and they arre comprable to the bosch. Just happened to be free at the time.

Honestly, I've always just used the cheap ass Anco blades from Walmart. Definitely not the greatest but for 4 bucks a blade I can afford to replace them every 4 to 6 months. I'm probably going to try the Bosch Icons next. I've heard good things about them.

stopped by autozone today and took a look at all the wiper choices. The Icons look nice, but sit at the top of the price range. I think I may just buy stock oem honda ones (as those have worked very well for me). If I do go that route, do I just need new rubber inserts or is it best to just replace the whole thing?

If you still have the OEM blades, you can easily just get the inserts.

If you want just the blades, the part numbers are 76622-SDA-A01 for the driver's side and 76632-SDA-A01 for the passenger's side. They shouldn't cost more than $8. If you're ordering online, I would recommend that you get them from Auto Fair Honda. Just call and ask for Ryan or Rich and let them know Tim from k20a referred you and you'll get taken care of. I can also get you an email address for one of the guys in the parts department if you want to go that route.

Cool thanks for the info guys.I do still have the OEM blades, however the paint has started to fade. They are still functional, but do look a little ugly. How much does it cost to replace the whole thing? Also, an email address would be great Tim!

Like Tim's post says, about $8 apiece.
