Wiper blade

[wrcastro_ph]

mukang maganda pero duda ako kung tatagal sya.

[baiskee]

kung bosch naman...i think tatagal. medyo hesitant ako pag ibang brand.

*caloyski: so we're not the only ones, eh?

Kung Bosch Icon mismo, di yan mangyayari, because that plastic cover provides extra stiffness and durability to the assembly. And the lower bracket is different in shape anyway.

The current "cheap" (ranging from 350-400) ones for sale don't have the upper cover, and as the bracket adapter's lower struts are only stuck in instead of molded as one piece, the vibration and weight of the wiper makes them give way.

An indication that the wiper is close to giving is wiper wiggle, as that indicates when the lower struts have broken. Once the upper struts follow suit, goodbye wiper.

*caloyski again, I don't think Mighty Bond alone will work. You'll need extra material kasi to stiffen it. I put in yellow pieces of cardboard from the Mighty Bond package.. ayan, mukhang garnish lang, kaya ok. Mas maganda nga sana kung metal bracket o staple mismo para sure, but I haven't had time to scour through my old toolboxes.

*odell: may cover ba, katulad ng Bosch? If not, iba na ang hahanapin ko.

yep. i count about 4-5 clubm3 peeps already. yung kakilala ko pa na isa, the night before ako nakabili natanggalan.gulp. i think yung benta ni odell is the icon mismo.

I am using these for the past year now...



And just renewed the blade with some lubricant / activator product from Concord.

I was really intending of replacing these already (since more than a year na) to those Witem ones, but heard from my fellow cm3 members how fragile they were. So stick muna ako dito till I get to order Trico's Teflon blades soon.

Thanks for the tips... time to replace!...

Refills will fit different frames. NWB yung blade ko pero gamit ko yung Autosport na refill (Php50.00/pr). Ewan ko lang kung mahina lang talaga talent ko, pero the refills just dont slide in easily. Kaya ginawa ko, binuka ko na lang ng konti yung mga 'paa' ng wiper blade para pumasok yung refill. Then inipit ko ulit.

Btw, i repaint my blades with flat black (spray can) every time I change my refills (usually every 1.5 years).

yung bosch na nabili ko last year ang bilis lumutong. wala pang one year yun. hirap pa naman maghanap ng 20" and 18"

[OTEP]

Kaya sa cheap refills na lang ako ngayon. Kahit masira agad, hindi nakakalungkot.

Pero nagulat ako kasi tumatagal naman pala.

How about those silicone wiperblades? Magkano kaya?
