if you have less that 12,000 miles, tear the wiper (rubber part) and go to honda. they will replace wipers for 12months/12k miles. got mine last week along with the e-brake button that was peeling.:D

Does RainX really work? I see it in Pep Boys all the time, but I always thought it was one of those scam products, so I never tried it. Kind of like those engine enhancers: "pour this in your gas tank and have twice the power" or whatever.Originally posted by glw
hondaman gets it right. here is socal we don't use the wipers much... just put a little rain-x on the glass and your good to go! i'm gonna order the parts and shave off the weight, myself... if only i could lose 8-10 lbs that easy! :p
RainX really does work. The water just slides off the windows. Actually helps when your drying off the car when you finish washing it.Originally posted by HgSi

Nice mod and great write up......

What section did you find these parts in on the website? Thanx;)
Found'em and just ordered them thanx for the post;)
I've always wanted to remove that useless eyesore since the day I got my 02 si.
Really appreciate the info.
Thanx.
:m:
i agree 25 bucks for a rear wiper is pretty much, but, the style honda used(with the full plastic housing) looks a lot cleaner than the some of the ones on lesser cars like the ZX3, etc. which are just a black steel arm
btw, about rain-x:

THATZ AWESOME.
not just cuz it looks fly, but now u have a squirter for an intecooler sprayer.
got my write up put on k-series.com dont thank me thank the ones that put the information out there like the part numbers. i just put it all together for those that were interested.
Holy Moly!!!
I actually had to use a Sawzall to cut my wiper arm off!!
But I got it.
Thanks for the write-up.
only cost me 11.50 for the entire rear arm from dealer. dunno why it cost u 25.00. cost me alittle less than 25.00 for both front blades and the rear arm.Originally posted by 02civicSI
heres a couple reasons why i got rid of it:
(a) the time came to change my rear wiper a month back and when i went to go and find a replacement i couldnt find in at napa. so i went to honda. they dont have them in stock you have to special order them. when you order them from honda you have to order the entire arm. that costs some where around $25. so i said f that and went to napa and asked them. same thing. around $25. so i modified one to fit but it doesnt wipe very well...so i searched around for something different.
(b) i dont use it. i understand needing it if i had to use it.
(c) something different and i like the way it turned out.
