They are like those canadian tire ones that they were advertising for a while. Kinda cool because the have no profile so they are less prone to lifting.

They can easily be fitted with standard type wipers. The mounting point on the arm is nothing new.

Those new wipers are the same as the wipers on the new Civic. They a GREAT wipers, I'd never change back to the old skool style.

My mechanic said to keep the original Fit wipers. It's better than reflex cuz it glue to the windshield

They work really well and Honda is going to these wipers, partially because they work well and also partially because of new European pedestrian crash laws... They'll take smaller chunks out of someone you hit.

Yes, I'm serious.

I guess im the only one... but I don't like these wipers very much. Makes a lotta noise and it doesn't wipe very clean

Passenger side was replaced under warranty for skipping... and it still does now... jus.... time to time. As for the driver side.. parts of it doesn't wipe very clean anymore. It jus happens to be the part that I look through too! Grrr!

I have the Reflex WetTech in my RSX and they are much better than the Fit wipers. I was thinking about buying reflex for the Fit too, but I'll wait and see. So far the Reflex cleans better than the Fit one in winter-salted-road driving.

Are you sure that you aren't having the Fit "wiper noise / skip" problem that is already posted as a sticky? Once I followed the "fix" and reversed and re-installed the wiper blade, my problems with this went away. I believe the relevent post is http://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-y...html#post90379

Now I realize what you mean cuz it's happening to mine as well. Exactly everything you said with the driver and passenger side. I flipped my long ago to get rid of the noise issue. Reminds me of that CT commercial where the women was going to pick up her daughter I think and pulled in front of some other dude b/c she couldn't see clearly with her bad wipers J/K, not THAT bad, but it does make me consider purchasing the Reflex WetTech and trying them out. We'll see.

For anyone who has replaced theirs, I know the driver side is 24", but is the passenger side better off with 15" or 16" ?
