New Wipers

[SUR33L]

Hey guys,

Looking for new wipers (front and rear), as mine are starting to fade and don't look very nice... I phoned nissan, and to get stock ones from Japan is a bit too expensive. ($92.55 for one front wiper and $84.02 for one blade).

Has anyone else had to change their wipers? If so, where'd you purchase the new ones from? Are they difficult to replace?

Thanks.

Cas.

Mine are fading too. Paint em?

[Import S13]

get some black spray paint (matte black) and take them off and spray them

mine faded that much that the paint came off and was silver, doyles sprayed mine when i got my car done they turned out perfect.

cheapest way

I sprayed mine with multiple light coats untill they were completely covered matt black. A friend of mine coated his heavy and the paint just started chipping off not long after so I kept it light and is fine.

Yeah i would just repaint them black, or if you dont mind getting a different colour you can get wipers like the Emtech ones they fit fine and there like $20 or so a wiper not $90 lol

Go to supercheap and match up a pair.

I replaced rear and will replace front; they do have the fronts for mine.

Don't get silicon blades they suck; good old rubber works well and doesn't squeak.

F^%#k nissan is a rip off.

i mean honestly why pay 90 when u can go to any car shop and pick em up for like 20 its stupid.

...because it's genuine

I thought he was talking about the wipers themselves, not blades. I bought some new blades from Nissan, good quality and wasn't all that expensive.

Thanks guys, yeah, i think ill just get some new ones, but keep the old ones just incase i feel like painting them afterwards... yeap, the reason i wanted the nissan ones is because theyre genuine ones, but hey, its not that bigger deal.

Thanks,

Cas.

Use the supercheap replacement wiper/blades, they are about $15 each with new wiper and arm

Then get the elbow which attachs via a 10-12mm bolt to the car and sand it, paint it black to match and looks better than new

You can even go carbon fibre style blades, which look ok on a red car, but crap on most other coloured cars

I just got Doyles to repaint the blades & arms all at once & they look great. Cost me penuts too, he through it in with the job he did for me.
