Has anyone else had to replace their wiper blades yet? The manual doesn't specify a size (not that I have found) - just that you should get blades that are "approved."

Did you get your blades from the dealer? How much were they? What size are they? I know I could call the dealer, but you guys are just so full of information that I thought I might just ask you first.

 

Our dealer replaced them for free!! They were leaving a bit of black gunk on the window (hint hint for you)

got mine free too when i got my free oil change!

 

nfo: Did your dealer just replace them - or did you have to ask (or otherwise point out that they needed replacing)?

 

I'm on my 3rd set of replacement wiper blades.
They were all FREE!
The quality of those that I had/have were ...poor.

Does anyone have an aftermarket wiper blade that is ...of GOOD quality?????
I'll pay for em....
I just something that will last ...

Peace,

Back in the old days, it was always said that German cars had lousy rubber parts while British cars had lousy electrical bits. Now, I've got a German-British car and I'm finding that it has poor quality rubber (on my second set of wiper blades) and questionable electrics (going back in next week for another airbag light repair). Hummmm....

I'm due for a wiper blade change myself, but considering WNY winters, they've faired quite well..

Thanks 8ball!

However, that has got to be one of the very few drop-down select lists that actually has the MINI in it! I RARELY see the Mini listed anywhere - even on my dealer's service-scheduler web form!

 

Hmmm... Odd, it doesn't list the rear wiper there. Wonder why?

........Just ran down to the car with the tape measure from my desk - looks like the rear is 12". (The curiosity finally got me off my butt! nfo you were right - ask and you will receive!
