hey guys. didnt have my car (nor my manual) with me when i went to advance auto parts the other day to get some blades. and the guys there werent much help neither. what size are the blades on a 2005 boxster? also, do you guys use any special washer fluid?

 

I dont know the blade size but I use a basic washer fluid from AutoZone. But, my trick is Rain-X I love the stuff. It really works and the more you use it the better it works.

 

thanks but i really need help with the blades. i went to advance auto yesterday, no luck with the size according to their machine/book. went to Salvo and they had 2 or 3 different brands of my size in stock. none of them fit!! 2 of those were Trico, the other i forget the brand name. where do you guys get blades from?

 

Forget Rain-x it doesn't even slightly compare to aquapel....

Rain-x wears off after a month or two and you can see a haze from it on your windshield in just the right light. It's terrible. I thought it was great too until my buddy who works at our local porsche dealer showed up with this stuff.

You just wipe it on and then wipe it off with a towel right afterwards. It lasts over a year on a single application and over 35mph I don't need to use my wipers at all anymore. It's like Rain-x supercharged that doesn't wear out and doesn't haze on the windshield.

Give it a shot, it's really an awesome product.

 

thanks, ill look into that as well. but my wipers are shot. even though i dont pull my car out in the snow, and only when necessary in the rain, it doesnt mean i shouldnt be prepared with reliable blades. help anyone? brand, size (i tihnk 22?) and part number? thanks

 

go to tirerack.com and search. if you cant figure it out online, call them.

 

i just put in the year make model and it came up with no results. i was hoping somebody else had changed their wipers before and could tell me exactly waht part number fits
