Post subject:  Windshield Wiper Blade
So in the midst of all the snow we've been getting (and it of course turning to ice), my rear windshield wiper blade has disappeared! I was wondering if anyone has seen them for sale from some place other than Jeep? Id rather not pay 30 bucks for a 8 inch piece of plastic :lol:

thanks!

I haven't found any aftermarket ones with the same style clip that properly locks into place like the OEM ones do.There only $10 here at the dealers and there 11" long.

I just replaced mine and it was $25 from the dealership. I haven't been able to find them anywhere else either. They've either been JUST too long and don't do the job properly or they don't clip on right.

I bought one from AutoZone...but I haven't installed it yet...I got it last year. It's the same length...supposedly, according to the book in AutoZone! :-P It's even a winter one.

The most I've ever paid at the dealer was $13.99 for the rear window wiper. $25.00 seems very high for a 11" metal blade with a proprietary clip on it.

Does seem steep. Mine was only about $15 a month or so ago.

Mine was $12 at the stealership. I use mine all the time and it lasted for about 4 years through winters and summers. I tend to think that the more it gets used, the longer it will last. Seems like all the guys who don't use it, lose it...quicker that is. :roll: :-)r

Up here in NY I found Wally world (Wall Mart) sells the AC Delco and it works just fine. BUT, they only have a 12" or 13"
I use either or depends on what they have at the time I need one.

And the clips that come with it, there is one that will do the trick

Autozone had a replacement for me, was a little tricky getting the clip to work but a little elbow grease got it on just fine, can't remember the brand off the top of my head since I got it about 2 months ago, but it did work, was $8.99 I think too, 11" blade as well.

Anyone have problems with after market replacements for the driver side front? I've gone through 3 different replacement blades and all of them 'lift off' at highway speeds and smear the windshield instead of wipe. I thought of this today while ordering a replacement washer bottle pump to replace the stock one that got ripped off a year ago

I ordered a rear blade from Amazon. It's a Bosch, but I haven't installed it yet.

Down here in Texas the summer sun really works over the wiper blades. I have been wiping mine with Armor all once in a while and it really seems to extend their life. So far it has always dried up (or soaked in) before it rained so there was no smearing problem.
