I've been looking for these for a while, as my wiper frames are still brand new. They want 17$ canadian per for the complete wipers, but all I really need is the refills for them. I know they exist, but I could not find a retailer in Quebec who has them. Can anyone help?

Doesn't NAPA sell those?? What about a VW dealer, they have Bosch wipers stock on the VW/Audis...

Speaking of wiper blades. Has anyone used the PIAA wiper blades?

Napa used to sell them, I have checked several Napa's in my area and the ones out here don't carry the refill blades anymore. If you find out where they sell them let me know too. I don't like the new ones they sell. I replaced my old ones with the new blades and they are terrible. They hiss as the wind blows thru them. It really annoys me.

I'm sure the dealer would sell them, but remember the goal of this exercise is to pay LESS than 17 dollars per  And to reuse perfectly good wiper frames too. (I'm not just cheap, I'm environmentally conscious too...  )

I also called a local Ford dealership and they said they don't make them so they don't sell them. If you find a dealer that sells them PLEASE let me know. I really want my old wiper blades back on. Thanks! :rolleyes:

I got my wipers from the Ford dealer, but they didn't fit! When I went back, the parts guy was stumped, apparently what they had listed in the computer was wrong. He went through 6 pairs of wipers trying to find ones that would fit my car. I now have mix-matched wipers, but at least they fit and they work!

Do you have Wal Mart stores in Canada? If so, check to see if they carry Lexor blades and refills. I prefer Lexor refills to Bosch as they last longer. Pep Boys used to carry Lexor. Just make sure that you do not lose or damage the stainless steel rails as the refills do not include the rails. Also the refills must be cut to fit for length.

Jim, we do have Wal-Mart here and they do carry Lexor. I had seen them before, but was weary because I did not know the brand. Good to know someone will vouch for them... They are going on this weekend...
