DIY: Rear Wiper Modification

[chubbychu]

werid...i found replacements for my rear wiper, its a little wirid but it fits. only 8 bucks.

[oldschoolimport]

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.

RainX really does work. The water just slides off the windows. Actually helps when your drying off the car when you finish washing it.

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:

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.

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.
