In my opinion, overpriced... Prices have gone up, but I usually pay 8.99 each (often 6.99 on sale) Michelin blades at Costco for most of my cars. I don't believe they stock 13" blades, but a quick check of Amazon found the right size Michelin blades for $12. They seem just fine, but maybe the Bosch blades are that much better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Do I just need to get ones that are 13", or are there other dimensions and/or fitment requirements as well. Thanks! |

[/quote] As far as I know 13 inch blades should fit fine. I checked two fitment guides. Not sure if it is common to include the correct connectors, that would be brand dependent. If the right ones don't come in the package I know for Michelin you can call customer service and they ship them to you for free. That is the case for Michelin blades for the 914 (at least according to the footnotes in their fitment guide). You can also get them from 914Rubber -- $19 each. And you get to support a great vendor. https://914rubber.com/wiper-blade-1 |
