is it just me or are the windshield wipers like weird...i think it'll be a pain to replace and u lose some visibilty...i wonder if there are kits to change them to normal style...

 

Show us a picture - I have not seen them.

 

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.

 

Was used to the Canadian Tire Reflex. I'll still use them.

 

What? Reflex, is that what they called those wipers at Canuck tire?

 

Yup. They call them Reflex.

Yes the best wipers I never used.

 

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.

 

Plus the refills from Honda are like $5 each, Cheap! can't go wrong with that.

 

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.

 

i have the same problem, there's only 10,000 km on the car and i know for a fact that the reflex wipers that i put on my sister and dad's cars have been on for much longer and are still wiping fine

as for mine it just completely skips certain parts of teh windshield, im gonna get some refills from honda and if it still happens ill buy some reflexes

 

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 https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...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" ?
