oem inserts for me. they're about 8 bucks and I toss them every year

 

I'm using the OEM '11 Accord Coupe Passenger Wiper Blades.



Been happy with them so far!

 

Why don't' you check Consumer Reports. They actually test them. What tested out best last year is sold at Sam's Club. They go by a different name, can't remember what, but the company that makes them said they are identlcle. I've been real happy with them.

 

So I looked at Bosch's website and it says our cars use the 16a and 20b model number blades for the icons. What's the difference between these and the 416a and 420b? Amazon shows both model sets fit our cars.

I tried a bunch of the more expensive ones (Bosch, RainX, etc.) finally got annoyed with all the streaking and gave the cheap $5 ones a shot, and they work great! Granted, they may not last as long, but for the price, they are WAY better than the more expensive ones.

Iv bought the Rainx repeles 20$+ per blade , I loved the way they look compared to older style wiper blades, they still streak but not as much as mechanicle blades, 4 weeks ago I had to get new blades I didn't have enought cash , so I went with house brand (proline premiums) they worked just as good as rainX and look just like them , the only diffrance is I payed almost half the price. Iv heard good things on the michelen Stealth blades, its a blade that get more contact with the windsheild but the price on those are also 20$ each ...ouch

 

lilrotor, did you just go to honda and ask for a 16 and 22 inch wiper blades?? I really like the way the oem wiper blades on my friends 2010 civic look like (same as yours) but I never thought on just going to honda to get the blades instead of an autoparts store

 

I've been using latitudes since October, just because I got them at a "steep discount" from my last job haha. If you clean your blades every other week or maybe once a month, they should last a long time. Just clean with some sort of alcohol substance (nothing you can drink!)

 

I've been very happy with my PIAA super silicones and they're a few years old now.

You can clean them with stuff you can drink. It just doesn't always work the other way 'round.

 

I trie expensive blades and wasn't impressed. I like the Duralast from Autozone; they work well and get replaced once a year since they are cheap.
