    Has anybody tried those "Reflex" wipers sold at Canadian Tire on an 05
    Accord? My Accord comes with a 26" and 18" wipers but the Reflex wipers go
    to a max of 24". Would that still work?



    Thank you

    I got em installed on my 98 Civic last week for the first time. I've got
    high hopes for them. If they can last the summer without streaking, I'm
    going to be hooked. My current Bosch blades didn't last long enough to
    justify the expense, hopefully the Relfex blades will do better.

    Blades as shown:

    A smaller size wiper blade might work (larger size is not going to work,
    since it'll extend beyond the windshield). It the off-spec blade can still
    capture the water from it's smaller sibling and you're physically short
    enough not to be hampered by the diminished coverage, it should be ok.

    I had Bosch Micro-Edge blades on my '93 Accord last year, and they didn't
    work well at all. So this year, I got a set of OEM blades from the local
    Honda dealer for about the same price as the Bosch blades. So far, the OEM
    blades are the best blades I've ever had on the car.

    The wife uses the OEM blades on 2000 Civic (but she only gets the refill for
    about $5...which is a reason to keep the stock wiper blades...otherwise, you
    can't use the Honda refills). Anyways, the OEM refills seems to be a little
    better then the regular junk, but not better then the Bosch. I initially
    started using the Bosch blades couple years back and they were excellent,
    but the last pair I used were garbage. They started streaking only after
    couple month of use.
