wiper inserts for accord
Hello all,
My accord is at 47K and the dealer recommended new inserts for the wipers. how often do others have their inserts replaced? How about the wipers ? We don't have much snow here, but do get heavy rains sometimes. Also, any suggestions on good wipers/inserts to purchase ? THANKS! |

About $5 each. The best you can buy. Ideally replace every six months. Once a year is OK. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

She reports they work better than the OEMs; nearly silent and very effective in heavy rain. Installation was easy. The Tire Rack has them on sale, buy one get one ($20+shipping for a pair). I'd probably have gone with OEM inserts for the Accord except that I needed blades for 3 cars. (I kept the Accord wipers just in case I want to go back to the OEM inserts, which I will if I can't buy the Valeos for $10 next time.) I hope the Valeos last longer than the 6-9 months I get from the OEM (Honda or Toyota) inserts. |

Twice/year - I'm really fussy about streaks from the wipers, plus changing them just before winter means I'll have really good wiper action for the crap winter weather. YMMV, of course. |
