Wipers For 2006 Civic
Hi
I am searching for replacement wipers for my 2006 Civic. I want to
replace the entire blade, not just refills. has anyone found any
after market ones that work? I have tried several and they claim that
they will work but they do not.
Thank you

They "won't work"? What does that mean? How does a wiper blade "not
work", exactly?
I've always had good results with the Bosch brand, although not on a
Civic. I'd recommend you give those a try.

How do wipers not work?
I use the Teflon wipers from Canadian Tire. No issues with them at all.

The wiper arms install to the end of the arm correctly but when you
place the wipers on the windshield they do not contact the windshield
for the entire length of the wiper.

Then you don't have the right wiper model. Do you not know that there is
a lookup book right beside the wipers in the store, where you look up your
car and find the correct wiper? If it's not there, ask the store clerk to
look it up. This isn't rocket science.... sheesh.

I am not that stupid.... Of course I have looked it up in the books.
And the wipers that are listed in the book do not work. I was hopeing
that someone had found a wiper that was correctly listed in one of
those books. Have you or are you just causing trouble?

A lot of auto stores install wiper blades for free. I would go to one of
those stores and watch what they do when they install them. No only are
you likely to find out if you're installing the wipers incorrectly and
see how to do it right, but if it doesn't fit, you're not going to be
stuck paying for it.

I have NEVER, in 30 years, found a wiper that was *incorrectly* listed,
for NUMEROUS brands and models of cars.
See above about being stupid.
Here's a free clue: You're installing them wrong, probably upside down.
Figure it out, rocket scientist. Wow.
