Wiper Blade Replacement

[nis350]

I can't find the refill for the original wiper blade as they are really narrow.

Have anyone tried the beam or the hybrid wiper blades on the NSX?

I have the beam type on my other cars and they look pretty good.

If you still have the original wipers, you should be able to get refills at any Honda or Acura dealer.

thanks Larry... I was under the impression that the size is 22 and 21 (driver/passenger)? This site only list one size.

with the shipping cost more than the oem refills.... i was thinking about trying the newer design blades that are readily available and wondering which type is better fit?

These fit my 99. I assume it'll fit yours as well: https://www.amazon.com/Trico-47-600...+blade+refill&qid=1557249472&s=gateway&sr=8-5

Thanks....

guess they are the same, just checked the oem part manual and they have the same part number as my earlier model.

I purchased some narrow refill before and they were too wide. the ones on the NSX are really narrow.

the ones you listed from amazon (16 to 22 in) is cut to fit? did you have to cut any and how is the fitment?

Yes cut to fit. They fit perfect. These refills are pretty thin, they're the same ones used on many older BMWs.

I have a pair from Costco; one “Goodyear” and one “Michelin,” they fit fine. I kept my original blades and will go back to them when I get around to finding refills.

 

[nis350]

I didn't know there are different sizes for 'narrow' - 6mm, 7mm and 8mm. I ordered a 'narrow' set without any sizing info from amazon before and they were probably 8mm.

Just placed an order for the one you recommended. Hopefully they will fit.

Thanks.

BTW, I had a chance to measure the wiper blades on my car.

Both are the same, and interestingly they are 21.5". The parts catalog states 550mm, which is 21.6" for what it is worth.

These are OEM original blades.

The after market catalog also listed it as 22 inches for both sides. I ordered a pair of 22 in. (6mm width) refills and hope they will fit. I'd much rather retaining the original wiper arms.

Thanks.... :wink:

just installed these and they fit well without any cutting. The 22 in. fit well on both side.

Now I can keep the original wiper blades. :smile:

Thanks you ALL for the information.

Glad it worked out for you. If your wiper arms ever start to look beat up, some black spray paint will freshen them up like new.

I just replaced both of my with blade elements with this from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CB6ADS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it worked out fine.

I wanted to upgrade to one of the newer designs like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BYB2K2/ref=ppx_yo_b_asin_title_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 because they are so much better but I would lose my cool little spoiler on the drivers side so that was a deal killer for me. I have a one-off carbon fiber piece that I don't want to part with:

After a lot of research I finally found a wiper blade design I'm happy with.

I used these, 22" on the drivers side and a 20" on the passenger side. That left about a 1/2" gap between the passenger wiper tip and the A-pillar so the tip isn't lifted off the glass.

The Amazon info says they're made in China, but the packaging I received said they were made in Japan. Beam wipers, high quality, fit right, refillable, and they are the slimmest design protruding from the windshield that I have seen. Most other beam designs stick the wiper arm way out there like an afterthought.

These were fitted on my car when I got it and I have never changed them, but now is the time...
I have no ide what they are or how to get the refill rubber.

The rubbers are 21.3” and 19.3”, but I guess they are longer when you buy them and cut them to your length before inserting them in the wiper frame.

Maybe someone here has the same and can give me some pointers?

I couldn't find any replacement inserts for my flat blades so I ended up going the route Mack Attack hinted about.

22" and 20" from Denso.

The corresponding part nr for the euorpean market is DUR-055L and DUR-050L (550 and 500 metric millimeter)

Perfect fit and good looking.

I really wanted a blade that had a wing on it as at higher speeds I felt like there was a lot of buffeting with the oem blades. I ended up using these: https://liferayqa.boschautoparts.com/g/focus-wiper-blades

I got them because the ridge seemed like it would act a bit like a mini spoiler and it does help for sure.
