Do I Need to Change My Wipers?
Hey guys, do you think I have to change my wipers or is there something with my windshield?
Skip to 0:40 for the wiper blade sounds. I just want to make sure its the blades and not the windshield before I go to the dealer to get them replaced for 80 bucks

PLEASE dont go to the dealer to get new ones. I got some really good Bosch wipers at walmart for 30 bucks and put them in myself. (just make sure you do one wiper at a time because you do not want to accidentally drop the wiper arm onto the windshield with no wiper because then you would have a broken windshield) Edit: just saw you're in Canada. Just get them at your local auto parts store.

Maybe clean the wiper and windshield first to see if it gets better.
my wipe last more than 2 years +1 on just change it yourself if you need to. |

auto wipers set too aggressively? (wipers running over a dry windshield)
I *think* LCIs are different but pre-LCI OEM are Valeo Ultimate, cheaper through Tire Rack or Amazon than dealership. Supposedly there are specials occasionally, waiting on one to pick up a spare set because they're still not cheap... working fine for me so far. Do make sure your windshield is clean when you replace the wipers. I actually went so far as to wipe mine down with acetone when I replaced mine, then washed as normal, but they don't skip! |

I just put the Bosch part number for the Icons in amazon and you can get a set for $47.78.
That's the only place I looked though, shop around online if your local shop is overcharging for them by a lot. I can't believe they are charging more than dealer for wipers. |

Yea, I am getting Bosch for sure. Its just that amazon canada does not carry then nor does Bosch.com ship to Canada. Guess the only way is to go to the dealership.
