Replacement Windshield Wipers - Honda Pilot

sepher · 08-20-2009, 12:19 PM

Not sure if this the correct area for this question but here goes. Just purchased a 2006 Pilot and doubt the blades have ever been changed. When I examine them the blade looks curled and doesn't lay flat against the glass. I live in Florida so it rains frequently and am looking for recommendations once they need replaing (if not already.) They do a decent job removing water but some areas are not as clear as I think they should be. Also, never used Rain X solution and have read in the forums it's pros and cons. Juru seems to be out.

Thanks for your replys.

I replace the wipers every couple years. I prefer OEM. Not a fan of Rain-X.

If they are the original wipers blades new inserts can be installed at a reasonable cost. Available from dealer or internet. I have mine replaced every 15K miles.

I installed a set of Bosch Icons, and I am very satisfied with the results.

2nd the Bosch or the OEM replacement inserts.
Have also used the Anco Winter booted blades with good results in the snow season

I have always used OEM blades, they are easy to insert and can be found in whatever city you are and decide your rubber inserts need replaced. It is amazing what a new set will do to clear the rain.
I used rain-x many years ago, was not a fan.
