Windshield wipers

[vi edit]

I just replace the whole thing. $10 a piece for the Bosch micro edge. Quiet and streak free. I've never had a problem finding them at Autozone.

How much do just the refills cost? Do you save much by doing that instead of replacing the whole thing?

I spent just over $12 for 4 refills and the "whole thing" would have been a little over $32.

Jeez. Just scrape the edges every once in a while. Ya have to do this w/new blades as well.

When I worked a Pep Boys we would put on wiper blades, but refused to put on refills.

yup whole blade... costs like the same as just the rubber bit😛 target/walmart they have a book or digital thingie that lets u look up size that matches car. then install just involves two screws holding the blade onto the arm.. retarded easy. and like 2.50~ bux a wiper blade at those places😛 so what if its cheap.they work fine. and blades don't last when baked in the sun anyways. so change em once a year as you should anyways. only if u live somewhere where it rains all the time do you need anything special. better a new cheap rubber blade than an expensive cracked dried old one.

yeah the blades are about teh same cost as teh refills for me. I bought my last set from target, they are car and driver brand 3.99 for each, versus 2.99 for a refill at autozone.
