Default Wiper blades

Need to replace my wiper blades.

Saw a commerical on "the weather channel" for Amco wiper blades.

Anyone have experience with these blades or could recommend some good blades names?


Thanks
Fess

My experience is they never fit "my" cars. Not sure why. I just drop by the dealership and buy the ones from the factory. They always fit and work, and really, not that expensive.

Try the rainX ones. Seem to work good for the snow and rain. I live in Denver, CO. and they work fine, I just got them. Stay away from trico If you are feeling like you want to spend some money, get the PIAA wiper blades! They are badass, but are expensive for some wiper blades

hmmmm....good point. I'll keep that in mind.

I'll check out PIAA & rainX.

stay FAR away from Amco blades. they're extremely cheap and streaky.

I went ahead an bought a pair of exact fit by Trico. I picked them up at superautobacs. They were an exact fit and I'll let you know how they work at next rainfall.

I don't see why you guys have to buy aftermarket wiper blades, you can just replace the wiper inserts. Go to the Honda or an Acura dealership and I'm sure they can help you find the correct part number and even order it for you! Why pay for extra when you can use OEM parts? Don't f with it if it works.

i don't know about you other Integra owners, but installing the inserts was a BITCH on my teg. the metal rails that fit into the blade kept popping out trying to install them.

rain-x blades here.
