Default About to order new wiper blades from Clair parts...guess the price!

$14.73 each! Plus $6 shipping to my zip code. Thought they'd be more...was going to order from autobarn, they're $26 each and worldimpex is listed for $30 each.

Just FYI for those who need new aero blades for the winter My passenger side can't swipe in the middle, just leaves a pool of water.

They're not available on the site, you need to e-mail them, give them your VIN and order them.

Default Check out Autobarn.net and Worldimpex.com for prices there. If there is a autozone or

advanced auto near you, they got the non-aero blades as well for probably decent prices.

They should be simple enough to replace. They snap into place, theres a interlocking piece in the center of the blade. Usually give it a good tug to unlock them and just reverse when putting the new ones in, making sure they make the "click" sound to ensure that they're locked in place.

Default If you are ordering them from Clair Parts can't you just pick them up yourself

rather than having them shipped? Or did you just add the shipping component for those who don't live near Boston?

Default I did ask about picking them up at the dealer since my car is there already but the reply

was that they're not equipped to handle pick ups yet...not sure why?! I'm guessing its not shipped out from Clair anymore but a remote warehouse now?

I know that last time I went in for coilpacks and the parts counter guy told me a higher price but I said I was quoted $24 thru e-mail and he gave me the quoted price. I didn't know I wasn't suppose to use the quoted price at the dealer.

Default Get Anco N-22 or 22N refills. Cheap and work well. Might have to open up guide slots some, but

it works fine. Replaced mine for like $7 total.
