I need to replace the crappy blades that came on my '05 and the blades that came on the '06 look pretty good. Any comments or complaints on the '06 blades? Did they keep them on the '07?
Anyone know cost of a set of '06 blades?
Thanks
PS I did follow other threads regarding wipers, just wanted some up to date info and opinions. |

I was thinking of asking the same questions too :)
What place is best to buy at the cheapest price? |

Canadian Tire is where I got mine.
The drivers side is one inch shorter than the OEM but that does not cause any problems. Also the passenger side does a much better job than the 2003-5 OEMs |

If you are switching blades for style purposes, then by all means go for it.
If you are asking about blade performance (i.e. cleaning the windows), then I can enthusiastically recommend Silblades - I bought them from Courtesy Nissan and they've been great. They have 100% silicone rubber and if you've ever used a California Water Blade, you'll know they don't leave a single drop of water on the windshield. They come with a 5 Year Guarantee too, and I've been using mine for a year and still doing fine. I used to replace my old blades with Bosch Microedge Excel every six months (when they go bad). |

I emailed a dealer in Watertown NY and he doesn't stock them but the cost of the blades is $37 and $25 for each side. I think I will try the Silblade wipers for less money.

Go to Courtesy Nissan's website or just google Silblade. |

| we purchased the 06 wiper blades and made a big mistake with them... first of all they cost over 100 bucks CDN for drivers and passengers side(good thing is you only have to replace the sqegee from now on) and secondly i purchased a set for our new mazda 3 sport from costco yesterday and they look almost the same but hear this... they were only 12.99 each FOR ANY SIZE. that's right wheter you need a 15 inch blade or a 24 inch blade they are all 12.99 CDN each they are made by michelen and work quite well. check them out i'm sure they stock them in american costco's also. |

| Lucky you across the sea...I paid mine here in Slovenia 120$ last month. And the dealer said that I'm lucky because the price went down...before it was 160$. But I think the one from Mazda are a little short, on MO is one 26" and the other 18"! |

| well i mean costco carries the 26inch blades but i know they don't have any costco's in europe yet so i guess the bullet must be bitten. |

nisaanlove,
Going to costco tomorrow, can you give me the right sizes for the wipers

| they should have little size booklets on the boxes that the wipers are in so check them out in there. you could also always go out with a tape measure and measure them also. |

| I am in Toronto area(Canada) and couldn't find drivers side wiper anywhere. 26" that is. I found a passenger side though for $12.99 |
|
|
| nissanlove |
| to tell you the truth i actually work part time at costco while i am going to school. i'll check out the sizes more closely tommorow during one of my breaks and i'll report back. |

Thanks. I heard that 24" is the highest they carry. Need to sacrifice 2 inches if wanna buy from costco.
Walmart sells Rainx one's though for like $19 or something. Heard they are not so bad either.. |
|
|
| nissanlove |
| true i checked last night and the highest size is 24. i've tried the rain-x ones from walmart also and they are essentially the same as the ones from costco. |

| Just converted to the integrated Euro type. Bosch Icon on the pass; had to get a 26" Valeo from Tire Rack for the driver since Advance didn't carry a 26" Icon. ( they do exist however). Great wipers- I converted all my cars to them. They're even 25% off for October at Advance. |
