Default This is how to replace 97 wiper blades

You can either go the dealership and pay $25 a piece for a whole new assembly, or go to you local auto shop and get an aftermarket whole assembly for between $10 and $25 and then wrestle with how to get it to fit properly, or......

you go to your local Honda dealership and pay $5 for a new rubber insert part #76632-SZA-A01 (21" rubber insert) and do it yourself in less time than it would take to wrestle with the after market assembly.

I'm confused... It's not hard at all to change the wipers unless you are a retarded chimp with broken thumbs...

Think he's saying that you can get blade inserts from Honda that work fine for far less money than Audi wants.

Default Exactly $5 for rubber insert rather than $25 at dealership

That is exactly what I am saying. Go to a Japanese dealership and get 21" rubber inserts for the wiper blades rather than replacing the whole assembly. Good for your wallet and for the environment!

Japanese people smell funny.

Chris, what wiper blades are you using?
